Our Love Story
Our love story started back in November 2021 in Taupo, it quickly became apparent that we would be partners for life. The first summer consisted of Elijah punishing Michelle through many adventures in which we came out the other side even stronger.
We have since been inseparable, purchasing our first home together, travelling overseas and completing more crazy adventures. Our time in Taupo has grown into an amazing network of friends and family that we value so much.
We cannot wait to have all our special people together on a day, to celebrate our journey and commitment to each other for the future.
