Nitin and Krina celebrated their love with a full wedding weekend. They held their Hindu ceremony at the Lincoln Events Centre on Saturday and their legal ceremony at Pemberton Gardens on Saturday. After hearing so much about Pemberton Gardens, I was really excited to officiate Nitin and Krina’s wedding ceremony there. It was well worth the wait! Such a stunning venue - lush gardens complete with bunny rabbits hopping around, a range of different spaces to use - and best of all, blankets and hot water bottles on a chilly day!

Nitin and Krina are a super relaxed couple and wanted their special day to be full of laughter. We all cracked up when the mic cut out just as Nitin said ‘I do!’ and Krina had to reassure the guests… ‘HE DOES!’

Their vows were funny too…

…from the opening lines…

“Nitin, the day has finally come - who knew that when we were introduced and spoke for all of 30 seconds before you ran away that we’d be standing here today.”

“Krina, I'm so proud to be sharing this special moment of our lives with our friends and family today.  From the weekend I came up to Auckland to hang out with you for the first time, to the time you craved a trip to Nandos for a feast, I knew you were a keeper!“

…to their promises…

“…And lastly, I promise to try and be more comforting when the Crusaders beat the Hurricanes even though I’m rather pleased on the inside…”

“I promise to listen to you (even if you have to repeat yourself three times)…”

Nitin and Krina were so much fun to work with! I only wish they lived in Christchurch so we could hang out!!

All the best for your next chapter xx I know you won’t be strangers.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Vic as our celebrant and sharing our ceremony with us. We had our initial meeting via Skype during lockdown and instantly knew she was perfect for us! She made the process so easy and catered to what we were after, we really couldn’t have asked for anything more - thank you so much Vic xxx
