Jeremy and I met at the gym, where he was a class instructor. It’s fair to say my interest in the gym increased… a lot! Four years later we tied the knot at the Pacific Rendezvous in Tutukaka. The area is close to my heart as I’d spent many holidays there with my grandparen­ts and it was my late grandfathe­r Eddie’s favourite place to be. We wanted to spend lots of time with our family and friends so we hired the resort for two nights for a weekend celebratio­n. On the Friday we had the food truck ‘I’m A Little Teapot’ serving tacos and Mexican beer, and on the Saturday we had the ceremony and reception.

I fell in love instantly with Anna Schimmel’s classic and elegant dress design – it was exactly what I was after. A veil, white and gold

Kathryn Wilson heels, and my nana’s diamond earrings finished the look. Jeremy wore a black custom made suit by Barkers, with a white shirt with black button details and black bow tie – he looked so dashing!

The flowers were one of my favourite parts about the day. We opted for tulips, made out of silk by the talented Amy at Keepsake Bouquets. I wanted to incorporat­e them into the day as a nod to Jeremy’s family, who are Dutch.

To encourage mingling, we didn’t have a seating plan, enjoying a scrumptiou­s buffet dinner by the wonderful team at People Potential. Our close friend Annie Shaw created our delish white and gold cake, three-tiered in chocolate, red velvet and butter cake flavours.

Music and entertainm­ent was so important to us on the day. Our friend Luke Bird was our MC and everyone was so charmed by his humour, wit and all-around amazingnes­s throughout the evening. It was a weekend I’ll never forget!
