Our Wedding

In 2016, Paddy and Elle met at a questionable bus party celebration, dressed as Trump and a baseball player. However, their love story didn’t start there. Like most typical millennial romances, Elle was sent an online message by Paddy—thankfully, not through a dating app. While Elle was living abroad in London, she posted a pub quiz answer on her story timeline. Paddy replied, seeing a potential connection that could get the ball rolling. After many months of long-distance communication, Elle returned home in July 2022, and that’s when the real romance began. Once back on home ground, Elle and Paddy started to build their life together, creating a home in Kaiapoi and enjoying many adventures, traveling both around New Zealand and globally. During a birthday trip to Hanmer Springs, Paddy popped the question... and Elle said yes! We are excited to have you with us on our wedding day and look forward to celebrating with you all!﻿
