Racheal and David both moved to South Korea on a whim in 2020, in response to two different job adverts to teach English abroad. It was this adventurous spirit that ultimately found their way to each other, as it was David's time living in Racheal's hometown of Melbourne, Australia in 2019 that made David stick out and encouraged Racheal to take a chance on David. They started dating a bit cautiously, as most international couples do, with the threat of borders and visas looming over their relationship, but their love soon became too strong to be contained.
A private, cozy weekend on a secluded, off-grid island 4 hours from Auckland, New Zealand by ferry, renowned for being an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, where Racheal and David saw the sky open up on a cloudy night and a rainy beach, shining down on them, as if the universe was both humbling their existence and personally welcoming them into partnership.

Unless you have been asked to attend the ceremony, please arrive between 11:15-11:30 if possible. The ceremony will be taking place in a smaller room adjacent to the large covered patio where we ask you to gather until the close of the ceremony, which is primarily reserved for immediate family and the wedding party.
We want a more intimate ceremony, and reserving this moment for our immediate family members and the wedding party, with a few exceptions, is the best way to do this. We are excited to share the reception and after-party with all of our guests, however, and hope any guests not invited to the ceremony understand our choice.
