31. The Black Barn Tarawera Wedding with Courtnee & Maria Amorangi

Bride Courtnee and Bride Maria join us to chat about their recent wedding at The Black Barn Tarawera. We hear all about their love story and how they proposed to each other, struggling to find representation in weddings as a queer takatāpui Māori couple, prioritizing the most important things and using DIY elements for parts of their wedding. How they almost ended up with the same wedding dress, struggling to keep the guest list numbers down. Rain and rainbows on your wedding day, dealing with finances and planning their wedding as students. Using TikTok for wedding planning and why they both changed their last names and created a new name. Follow the couple!
