“Has known Amanda since Year 3 and still has the friendship bracelets to prove it.”
From a crowded dance floor to forever — here’s how we got here.
A few of our favourite chapters so far.
A crowded dance class, Jordan already had a queue of dancers lined up, and our first conversation highlighted a lot of things in common. We swapped numbers before the final song ended.
1 month road trip from Sydney to Hobart, Australia. Making it through 38 degrees heat, flooded roads, freezing cold mountain views and survived.
Two nomads joined homebase on a boat. Shelves were built, and the “who needs more clothing space” debate began. (Amanda won.)
Family wedding in Canada means meeting the family and more travels.
Received an extra surprise, 1 week before the flight - we were pregnant!
1 week after arriving in Vancouver, we were engaged.
Moving to Auckland to be closer to Amanda's support network and start nesting.
Baby is due to arrive April 2027, and they will be very much looking forward to meeting you!
And now — we get to celebrate it all with you, in Auckland. 🌿
The legends standing beside us on the day.
