Our Wedding

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, LOVE gives us a Fairytale Our paths came together at the US Golf Open in June 2013 outside of Philadelphia. Over the course of the following two months, we became inseparable and took the decision to follow what felt right! We shared a beautiful autumn and winter of 2013 in Mattapoisett, spending time with Corinne's family and Cooper, her beloved goldendoodle. Early 2014, Ben introduced Corinne to the beauty of a New Zealand summer, exploring Auckland &amp; Waiheke with Ben's family, driving an RV through the South Island meeting yellow eyed penguins, going black water rafting, flying over the glaciers and swimming in the seas.Following our hearts, we moved to London to continue our adventures together. Our three years in London have flown by but have been full of travel throughout Europe - Skiing the Alps, Oktoberfest, Sailing the Mediterranean Seas, breadmaking classes in Paris, roaming the cobblestone streets of Prague, losing ourselves in canals of Venice and one of the best days of our lives where we got engaged on the bank of the Thames overlooking Westminster under the streetlamps.We have loved our time in London with friends and family and now that chapter of our lives is coming to an end with an incredibly exciting one about to start. We cannot wait to celebrate our love with you all at our wedding and are grateful for the love and support of our family and friends!

Our Story

Erica is Corinne's sweet sister and best friend! Corinne was blessed to be Erica's 'Best Maid' last year at Erica's wedding to Justin. It is now Erica's turn to be there for Corinne.&nbsp;You always know when the two&nbsp;are together or even talking on the phone&nbsp;from the tears of laughter! Erica has always been there as Corinne's biggest supporter, except when Erica was tired of playing Barbie.&nbsp;Despite the physical distance, they are closer than ever. Thank goodness for video calling!

Erica Paladini

David ‘Drum’ Drummond is one of Ben’s longest standing brothers in arms, getting to know one&nbsp;another at high school, long journeys home on the trecharous bus 8 and on the cricket field. Drum&nbsp;and Ben flatted together in NZ for years and have travelled the globe together, spanning trips to&nbsp;Australia, the United States &amp; more countries in Europe than Ben can remember. Drum is the most&nbsp;passionate French fry connoisseur, All Blacks rugby and NZ Cricket Team supporter on the planet,&nbsp;with an unadulterated dislike for rank all rounder James Franklin, his blood is rumoured to be the&nbsp;same colour as the jersey he wears on a strangely regular basis. Drum’s partner is Kylie Donaldson&nbsp;who lovingly stands next to Corinne as one of her bridesmaids and between the two of them Ben &&nbsp;Corinne couldn’t wish for better friends.

David Drummond

Alex ‘AJ’ Jensen and Ben became mates at a similar time to Drum &amp; Ben, with paths coming together&nbsp;at high school. AJ &&nbsp;Ben have taken the field together for years in both cricket and football as well&nbsp;many a beer all over the world. AJ gained the nickname piñata throughout his cricketing career due&nbsp;to his inability to stop the fastball colliding with some part of the body but regardless of the number&nbsp;of bruises his determination never wavered much like his friendship over the years.

Alex Jensen

Care's joy is contagious, she&nbsp;can make everyday brighter! Corinne and Carolyn became the best of friends rock climbing their way through their Doctorate&nbsp;Physical Therapy program. The two took their first professional jobs in the amazing city of Chicago sharing summers filled with festivals, singing Go Cubs Go and some very snowy winters.&nbsp;Ten years since graduation (PS What?! When&nbsp;did that happen?), they each make sure to chat all the time&nbsp;and&nbsp;see one another as much as possible wherever they are in the world. They are quite skilled at using airline miles benefits.

Carolyn Murphy

Kylie and Corinne became fast friends through Ben and Drum (The Best Man) celebrating New Years in the New York City blizzard. Their friendship grew&nbsp;when Kylie, Drum, Ben & Corinne&nbsp;lived together in London.&nbsp;Whether sharing an apartment,&nbsp;traveling Europe, or settling into life&nbsp;in&nbsp;New Zealand,&nbsp;Kylie and Corinne can often be found leading&nbsp;the best 90's dance parties! Kylie has welcomed Corinne to New Zealand with open arms, helping to understand New Zealand culture and helping&nbsp;Corinne to learn to&nbsp;drive&nbsp;on the left with roundabouts!

Kylie Donaldson

Scottie ‘Spot’ Mitchell is quite possibly Ben’s oldest friend with their sporting careers starting at a very young age before we ended up at high school together. &nbsp;Scottie & Ben shared a passion for fast cars, football and guitars well before they knew how to drive them, play it or play them.  Scottie and Ben got dropped off to day one of high school together and never looked back. &nbsp;&nbsp;Scottie has always been a devoted chameleon where he changes appearance at whim, going from looking like Nick from the Backstreet boys, Eminem, David Beckham and many years ago, a garden mushroom with a blond bowl cut.  Scottie has always been on Ben’s team both on the sporting field and in life, regardless of situation, a best mate.

Scott Mitchell

Jake ‘JJ’ Jarrett and Ben became best mates at intermediate school while Jake was in Auckland with his family for 2 years before moving back to Australia. &nbsp;Getting to know Jake changed Ben’s life with many years spent visiting Australia, Melbourne or conversely, Jake to New Zealand for a holiday.  It can be years between drinks but the friendship Jake and Ben share is unique, one of those that regardless of the length of distance, picking up where they left off is never a challenge. &nbsp;Jake is regularly confused with Hugh Jackman or more specifically Wolverine who’s fierce determination and loyalty are reflected in their friendship together.

Jake Jarrett

Morgan is Corinne's fabulous cousin! As children,&nbsp;Morgan and Corinne could always be found together singing on the sailboat or&nbsp;causing mayhem on the&nbsp;ski lift. Their relationship has continued to grow as adults, demonstrating slightly more mature behavior, except for the singing. Corinne was privileged&nbsp;to attend Morgan's wedding to her incredible husband Shawn, and could not be more excited to have Morgan by her side today.&nbsp;Corinne has always looked up to&nbsp;Morgan, her&nbsp;support and love means the world to Corinne.

Morgan Twomey

Chris ‘Pagie’ Page was one of Jake’s good mates in Australia which lead to Ben & Chris plotting to take over the world together which is exactly what they did. &nbsp;An unlikely pairing from the outside, a perfect match when you’re on the inside, their adventures have spanned as far as Moscow, St Petersberg, Krackow, London, New York, Munich, Australia and New Zealand. &nbsp;Chris has a passion for red wine, the Rockettes & is rumoured to be the closest living thing to a human homing pigeon which made travel with him extremely enjoyable, always knowing his true north and the way home regardless of what time of the morning or number of beers deep. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That understanding of true north is the foundations of what their friendship is built on and forever shall be.

Chris Page

Brendon ‘B-Dog’ Morrow has lined up next to Drum, AJ & Scottie over years of sport and always been unassumingly good at whatever he does. &nbsp;Brendon & Ben met at high school and have been friends ever since, flatting together in the illustrious Palais de Paritai Drive where he was controversially crowned chestnut champion, summer 2010. &nbsp;Brendon is so laid back you could mistake him for being in a constant planking challenge, nothing can rattle his cage.  He will be the man due at work in 15 minutes and sitting at the piano shirtless still playing a Beatles classic without a care in the world. &nbsp;Brendon can be defined as always late, coming in hot and with a story to tell which has been what a rock of friendship looks like over the years.

Brendon Morrow

From the first day of meeting, colleagues thought they were long lost friends.&nbsp;Kirsty and Corinne were lucky enough to meet&nbsp;working together in London. Although Corinne didn't always know exactly what&nbsp;Kirsty was saying through her Aussie english, through many cups of tea battling our clinical caseloads, weekend travel adventures, eating and drinking at all of the best pubs;&nbsp;the two&nbsp;thoroughly&nbsp;enjoyed exploring&nbsp;London! Kirsty was a big part of Corinne's London life and they cannot wait to live nearby each other again&nbsp;soon as Kirsty moves to Auckland this year!

Kirsty Stapylton

Sheila and Corinne met and became fast friends&nbsp;working together as Pediatric Physical Therapists at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The two lived just around the corner from one another,&nbsp;sharing commutes,&nbsp;dinners and of course walks along the shores of Lake Michigan with Cooper!
