A little bit about Rawiri & myself… Rawiri & I met in high school and have been together going on 10 years this year. We were both head prefects of Tarawera High school in Kawerau, got together in 2016, travelled to a few countries together, have one beautiful little son together, got engaged in Rarotonga January 2025 and now married one whole year later January 2026. As soon as he proposed I started searching bridal gowns online for inspo and one dress particular had caught my eye on the bridal gallery website. I saved it to my phone and needed to view it in person, once I seen the gown displayed in the store I knew that this was going to be the one & as soon as I stepped foot into it I just knew that I was going to say “yes to the dress.” 🥹 Our wedding day was the most perfect day for the both of us. The highlight for me was definitely seeing all our hard work of planning pay off and seeing the vision come to life I was absolutely speechless. The colours, details, & set up was on point! A day that my younger self had always dreamed of. The best day ever surrounded by family, friends & a whole lot of love, we couldn’t have asked for it to be any better. 🥰
