We're very lucky to be having Rob's parents join us from the UK. They've sadly not been able to visit for the last few years so we can't wait to get them back here for a well overdue trip. And while they're here LET'S HAVE A PARTY!
As you probably know, Jon's parents moved to NZ a few years after Jon deciding to up-sticks and move. They are exceptionally excited about having another wedding in the family and a great opportunity to bring everyone together.
Evelyn is Jon and Rob's niece and growing up to be one very amazing little girl. When asked if she would come to the wedding she was a little unsure but was soon won-over when she found out there was going to be CAKE!
Chester is Jon and Rob's nephew and ALWAYS has a cheeky smile on his face. He's very easy-going and is sure to get up to some mischief. He's already pretty fast on his feet so watch-out!
Finn is a recent addition and will be just shy of 1 year old at the time of the wedding. He's the son of our closest friends, Steve and Mike. He's absolutely adorable and whilst I don't think he'll quite make it to the dance floor, he's very good a providing cuddles.
Joy has been a family friend ever since we landed in New Zealand. Not only is JOY her name, but it is also a great descriptor of what she brings to any room and certainly our family. We feel truly honoured to have her as the Celebrant for our special day.
Jo and Owain are the owners of the beautiful property where we'll be holding our special day.
When looking for a venue we were both very much on the same page in terms of wanting an outdoor venue. We both love to be outside and spent a lot of our early careers outdoors. The setting at Jo and Owain's home is magnificent and we are incredibly grateful that we're able to host our special day there. They also have two very talented boys, Leo and Dylan who hopefully you'll get to meet - ask them about their stop-motion videos (they're so clever!)
