A Match Made in Digital Heaven

Picture this: it’s 2019, and two souls are brought together by the magic of the internet. Kendra and Ray’s story began on a dating app called Coffee meets bagels. Fate had a plan, and these two matched up perfectly. It was only fitting that their first date involved a breakfast rendezvous. But here’s the twist – Kendra, with her signature charm, set the rendezvous at 8:30 on a Sunday morning. A challenge, you might say, but Ray was up for it. Little did they know that this daring choice would set the tone for their dynamic journey ahead.

The chemistry between them was electric from the start. Every moment was filled with laughter, lively discussions, and a sense of connection that’s truly special. Their second date came just a week later, and as they say, the rest is history. Their journey was off to a racing start, and the adventures were only beginning.

A Proposal with a Mountainous View

Fast forward to October 16, 2022, a date that would etch itself in Kendra and Ray’s hearts forever. Ray, with a heart full of love and an adventurous spirit, planned a weekend getaway with close friends and Kendra’s sister to New Plymouth. The highlight of this trip? A hike up the Pouakai Tarns track, where Mt. Taranaki stood tall in all its majestic glory.

As they posed for what Kendra thought was a couple-photo, Ray had a surprise up his sleeve – or rather, in his pocket. With the stunning mountain as a backdrop, he dropped down on one knee and popped the question that would change their lives forever. Against the backdrop of nature’s beauty, Kendra said yes, sealing their love amidst the awe-inspiring scenery.

Personalized Perfection

When it came to planning their wedding, Kendra and Ray embraced a style that was as unique as their journey. Their chosen theme was a reflection of their personalities – personalized and vibrant. They opted for a color palette that included shades of blue, green, pink, and white, a perfect reflection of their joyful and adventurous spirits. With that in mind, Liv King made the bride radiant during her special day and The Flower Room made the amazing view spectacular!

A Day to Remember

The wedding day finally arrived, and anticipation hung in the air like a sweet melody. Their adventure for a lifetime is kicked off in the air by Heliworks. The ceremony took place at the stunning Coromandel Peak, where Kendra and Ray exchanged vows against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes. Love and laughter echoed through the air, a testament to the journey that brought them here.

But the adventure didn’t stop there. After the vows were exchanged, the couple, along with their loved ones, embarked on a second landing at Lake Lochnagar. Here, they celebrated with champagne, toasting to love, life, and the unforgettable memories they were creating together.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the day’s celebrations, Kendra and Ray’s love story was just beginning its new chapter. Their accommodation at an AirBnB on Frankton Road was the perfect end to a day filled with love, laughter, and moments that would forever be etched in their hearts.
