When your first date involves drinks at the back of a boat and flashy ski moves, you’re more or less guaranteed a lifetime of adventure.<\/p>\n

The loved-up couple Rebecca and Matthew, aged 28 and 33, crosses the ditch yearly to ski on the snowy mountains of New Zealand and it was on one of those trips that Matthew proposed.<\/p>\n

“It involves a surprise helicopter ride masked as a free ride to ‘check the snow’. The penny didn’t drop until Matt’s knee did,” recalls Rebecca with a smile.<\/p>\n

When it came to planning for their wedding, the pair wanted the day to be a reflection of their adventurous and party-loving selves and to have their nearest and dearest present.<\/p>\n

Beautiful pink and purple blooms adorned the indoor ceremony overlooking the ocean on August 3, 2019.<\/p>\n

“Our wedding focused on what was true to us. Our intimate guest list provided us with the ability to spoil our friends and family with an epic flyover, endless nibbles and drinks, as well as, one-on-one time with the newlyweds.”<\/p>\n
