Aynsley Arrives
Music begins, everyone sheds a tear...who bought the tissues?
Sam & Aynsley walk out as Mr. & Mrs.
Confetti is thrown, smiles all around, everyone congratulates the bride and groom
Group Photos
Say "cheese", watch for the birdie, but don't blink!
Party Time!
Everyone heads to the reception venue for some drinks, canapés and mingling whilst the bridal party is away for photos
The Bridal Party Returns
Fresh from their glamourous photo shoot, ready to cut the cake.
It's Time To Eat
It's buffet time, enjoy the delicious meal, and make sure there's room for desert!
Speeches
Charge your glasses and get ready for the toasts, here's hoping no-one waffles on too long because it's nearly time for...
Dancing!
Time for the band to start up, put on your dancing shoes and have a good time
To save you looking, shopping and buying
Here's an idea we hope you like trying
A wishing well we thought would be great
But only if you wish to participate
A card with some money is placed in the well
Then make a wish.... But do not tell!
Sadly, COVID has thrown spanners in many plans worldwide, and whilst we're confident accommodation will be available, we're still working through what accommodation we can recommend in Rotorua at the time of the wedding.
Novotel Rotorua have offered a 10% discount for our guests, if you use the preferential code "MICENZ" on their website here (click the special rates dropdown). They have advised that these bookings are on a prepaid, non-refundable basis and the code will close 30 days prior to the 24th April 2021 with a minimum stay of 2 nights.
It's well worth checking with any accommodation provider on their COVID policies and what other arrangements they might already have in place such as MIQ contracts.
Don't forget, it's also a long weekend with ANZAC day observed on the Monday following the wedding so a great opportunity to spend an extra day and soak up some of the great tourist venues Rotorua has to offer.
