Long tables in the orangery. Short speeches, we promise.

9:00 PM
Dancing

Until midnight, when the coaches leave for Canterbury.

A short history

2017
Met

Introduced at a work thing in Wellington. Neither remembers by whom.

2019
Long distance

Three years of flights between two islands, which we do not recommend.

2022
Moved in

A flat in Ponsonby, a dog named Biscuit, an end to the flights.

2026
Engaged

Engaged on the pier we’re getting married on, in the rain.

What to wear

Garden formal. Long dresses, linen suits, and shoes that can manage grass — the ceremony is on a lawn and the paths are gravel. Evenings in June get cool once the sun goes; a wrap or a jacket is a good idea.

Palette, if it helps
