Isabella and Benson join us today to share their love story and wedding planning experience. These two are so funny and sweet together, they made me laugh a lot. A few things we cover:
- Their love story from teenage crushes, to reconnecting over messages and ending up in London together.
- A lockdown-style thoughtful proposal that’s reminiscent of an iconic movie moment.
- What it’s like planning a NZ wedding from the other side of the world.
- Thoughtfully planning out the music for the day and how it created memorable moments.
- The importance of bringing family and friends together, and how they incorporated their special people and Kiwi-Samoan culture into their day.
- Some standout vendors that made their day incredible.
- Running an hour late to the ceremony and why it all worked out perfectly.
- Some incredible advice on how to make sure you are fully present and enjoying the day.
...and so much more!
