Our story began on a hot summer’s day in Wellington, 2022. We had both agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to join a group walk along Te Araroa’s Paekākāriki Escarpment with mutual friends. What we didn’t know was that one particularly determined friend had already decided that Eshani and Kiran were meant to meet that day. Somewhere between the ocean views, steep climbs, and shared water breaks, we struck up a conversation. It felt easy. Natural. Not long after, we agreed to a first date. One date became two, became three and before we knew it, we were planning weekends, trips, and a future together. From city strolls to scenic hikes, from quiet coffees to big adventures, we discovered how well our worlds fit side by side. What started as a simple walk became the beginning of everything. And now, we can’t wait to keep walking through life together - hand in hand, with the people we love most by our side.
