Our Story
Linton and Jayden first met on the sunny shores of Napier in late 2009, sparking a connection that flourished even after Linton returned to Southland. Their bond strengthened through countless adventures, including Jayden's visit to Dipton and trips fueled by Linton’s competitive shearing passion and Jayden's friends and family being scattered around the place.
Early June 2023, Jayden planned a dream getaway to Hawaii, unknowingly setting the stage for Linton’s surprise proposal. On their final night in Honolulu, after enjoying ice cream on the pier, Linton proposed on the sands of Waikiki Beach, transforming a simple evening into a magical moment. Now, they invite you to celebrate as they embark on their next adventure together!
