Hannah & Matt

 

Hannah and Matt were married at the Papamoa Surf Life Saving Club in Papamoa, Tauranga.

The celebration was a true family affair: both mums proudly escorted the couple’s two daughters down the aisle, while the father of the groom and brother-in-law serenaded guests during the processional. As Hannah made her entrance with her dad, a special recording of Matt singing played in the background, adding an intimate, personal touch.


After exchanging vows, the newlyweds invited everyone to join in a joyful rendition of The Beatles’ All You Need Is Love, complete with surprise kazoo solos from guests hidden in the crowd.
