What a way to end my first season as a celebrant!!!
I was profoundly moved to witness the awe-inspiring haka performed by the groom's whānau, led by his best man.
Watch closely as the groom takes his jacket off and starts in appreciation for the support and love. The bride with tears of joy.
Absolutely so much Aroha surrounding Kendall and Patrick on their day!!

Reunited in Love: A Story of Compassion and Renewed Vows
Love has a remarkable way of finding its path back to where it belongs, even after the most unexpected detours. On this day we celebrated the heartwarming journey of Philip and Yathida who have embraced love's resilience as they embarked on their journey of remarriage.
Their story is one of separation, growth, and ultimately, reunion. Life's twists and turns led them on separate paths for a time, but their hearts remained intertwined, never forgetting the bond they shared. With no need for forgiveness but overflowing with compassion and love, they found their way back to each other's arms.
As they stood before their loved ones, exchanging vows once again, there was a palpable sense of joy and gratitude in the air. Their eyes reflected the depth of their shared experiences, the trials that strengthened them, and the love that endured it all.
The wedding photos captured not just a moment of celebration but a testament to the power of love to heal and restore. Each smile, each embrace, radiated with the sheer happiness of being reunited with a soulmate.
In a world that often emphasizes perfection and flawlessness, Philip and Yathida remind us that love is messy, imperfect, and beautifully real. It's about choosing each other, day after day, even when life throws its toughest challenges.
As we witness their journey unfold through these photos, let us be reminded of the beauty of second chances, the importance of compassion, and the enduring power of love to bring us back home—to each other and to ourselves.
May Philip and Yathida continue to inspire us all with their unwavering commitment to love, compassion, and the journey of rediscovering each other, time and time again. Here's to a lifetime filled with joy, laughter, and endless love!! P&T 13.04.2024

Had such an amazing time being part of this magical day.
The day was magical, butterflies were fluttering around the gardens, and there was no shortage of fun, laughter and love surrounding them.
You both said how nervous you were about your Vows... yet I couldn't see any nerves at all!! You totally smashed them!!
Just look at the radiance of them both in these pictures!
Again, thank you for having me as your celebrant.
Do you need your bridal party standing with you for the ceremony? Absolutely not. Your day! Your choice. You may decide that you prefer to just have that moment with your partner, or you may decide that you want to share it with your bridal party.
Butterflies symbolise the beginning of the next step of life's journey. they speak to the bride or grooms transformation from individuals to life-long partners! They also represent magic, romance, and joy—themes and emotions that are particularly relevant on your wedding day. It was no surprise they were surrounding Sophie and Sam on their special day!! #Celebrant #butterflies #weddingceremony weddingceremony #monarchbutterfly
Delegating on your day takes the stress away from you and helps you to enjoy every moment. #weddingday
