Our Story
Our love story began on a night out in Auckland back in 2016. We met by chance and soon found out we had mutual friends, similar interests, heaps in common, started dating and the rest is history! 7 years worth of memories later we are the best of friends, soul mates, travelled overseas, have a lovely home together and 2 cats. Last year on Louise's birthday David finally popped the question on a surprise holiday to Queenstown, Louise said yes! David & Louise can't wait for you to join them as they celebrate their love and say I Do to the rest of their lives together.
