Our love story
Samantha and James first met at Samantha's flat in 2016, and spent the next year as friends before they started dating.
They lived all around Wellington and enjoyed traveling throughout New Zealand. Samantha and James moved to London in 2023 where they made Islington their new home. They then enjoyed traveling the UK and Europe whenever they could.
The day before their holiday to Switzerland in February 2024, James suggested a trip to Greenwich Park for a walk and lunch. Despite the potential rain forecast and no lunch booking being made they headed out to Greenwich. Upon getting to the park and finding the perfect spot, James popped the question! James had secretly booked a photographer and after a glass of champagne and some photos, they went to Lyle's in Shoreditch for lunch!
Wedding planning from London has been fun but Samantha and James can't wait to be back in New Zealand to see you all for their special day.

Wedding Registry
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all.
As we have lived together for more than year or two, we don't need anything new.
For those who wish to contribute, you probably know we like a glass of wine, and a nice bottle will always go down well.
If wine isn't your thing, we will be preserving Samantha's beautiful bridal bouquet. A small contribution towards bouquet framing would be blooming lovely.
