Before Amanda and Fraser met, they were experiencing very different lives in Britain, Fraser working on a farm in Oxenford and Amanda, a teacher, braving the demanding classrooms around London. After some time of working hard both had decided to take off on an Adriatic sea adventure... this is where their story begins.
It was off the coast of Croatia that the couple first locked eyes and began their romantic life together. As love blossomed after that life-changing day, the couple were faced with the reality that they called very different places home.
"We knew it was going to be difficult for a start, him being a Kiwi and me being an Aussie, however everytime we went to say goodbye it was too hard, my heart was being torn apart."
Amanda had decided that her home was with Fraser so moved to New Zealand. Amanda still longed for Australia, so the couple planned to say their vows in Burleigh Heads, Australia with Amanda's family and friends.
"All our friends and family in New Zealand came across the ditch to meet my friends and family in Australia to share this wonderful day and wonderful country! We felt like movie stars on our wedding day, so special that so many people came across the globe just to celebrate our wonderful day " Amanda remembers.
The couple's friends went the extra mile to put on a good show for the couple, "The bridal party performed a choreographed dance to a medley of songs for the traditional wedding dance. This was kept a secret... the bridal party rehearsed for many nights before the day." Check out the photos of the bridesmaids and groomsmen practicing - so cute!
"What a day!"
Congratulations Amanda and Fraser - we wish you all the best for your lives in NZ!
