Wedding of the Week - Tahnee and Leighton Te Kanawa
18.05.12
A beautiful garden wedding set the scene for Tahnee and
Leighton Te Kanawa who married in March this year.
When and where we met: Leighton and I met in February
2005. He was a chef at the Reef and I worked at the Lone
Star. We were both sent to do a liquor licensing course at
the university for our respective jobs. We had met previously
at parties etc, but we had never really talked. At the
training course we began chatting and realised we remembered
each other. That week we met up for a drink and quickly
discovered we share the same birthday. We have been together
ever since!
The proposal: Leighton and I went to Blenheim for a
holiday in March 2011 to visit his dad. While we were there
we took the kids to White's Bay, a beautiful little beach
that we had been to before. As we sat there talking about all
the things we had done together and achieved together
Leighton pointed out that the only thing we hadn't done was
got married. It took me a minute to realise what he was
saying, quickly followed by "are you asking me to marry
you?". He nodded, I said yes!

Introducing Sarah and Ben
18.05.12
Wellington couple Sarah Greenfield and Ben McCarthy, both 25, met at high school and married in central Wellington in November.
How did you meet? "Ben and I meet when we were at college as 16-year-olds," says Sarah. "One day we started chatting at the bus stop, things grew from there and we've been together ever since!"
Tell us about the proposal: "Ben took me away for the weekend to the Wairarapa. We stayed in a lovely little French-styled place in Greytown. On the Saturday evening we drove out to Wharekauhau Lodge and enjoyed a full five-course dinner with views over Palliser Bay. Near the end of an amazing night, Ben got down on one knee, pulled out my ring, which he had designed and had made, and asked me to marry him. Obviously I said yes!"
Location of wedding: "We were married at the beautiful St Mary of the Angel's church on Boulcott Street, Wellington, followed by a reception at the Lodge at Shelly Bay."
