Michelle & Barry

Michelle and Barry were married at Sudbury in Te Horo, on the Kāpiti Coast, on 22 February 2025.

They waited to see each other until the ceremony.

The ceremony included a ring warming.

Florist Bev Holden did the flowers.

Michelle and Barry walked back up the aisle in a cloud of bubbles from a bubble machine.

Barry's twin brother William was his best man.

Their first dance was to “Controller” by LAB. Mickey Poppy-Lees of DJ4You was the DJ.

“Your unobtrusive, yet comforting presence was unexpected. Everyone commented on your ability to be everywhere without being visible. You put so much of your heart into our day. Truly incredible.”
