Rachel & Reid are the kind of people who, no matter what is thrown at them, keep their positivity and sense of what is really important in life. Unfortunately on the flight to New Zealand their luggage (containing some of their wedding clothing!) went missing. Then, on a morning hike the day of the wedding they lost their go-pro (argh!). So it’s safe to say that their day had a couple of unexpected hicups that most couples would rather avoid. These guys took it all in their stride, and kept their focus on what the day was really about.. their marriage! And, thanks to some incredible Wanaka wedding supplier’s generosity (huge thanks to Shannon at Studio 9305 who drove their missing luggage out to them at the helicopter base in a last minute attempt to get it to them on time!) the lasting impression for Rachel and Reid was of the kindness of the people around them who helped them have the best day of their lives. We are so lucky here to have so many caring wedding suppliers who will always go out of their way to make sure that each couple’s day is perfect, and we are so grateful this lovely couple were able to experience some of that first hand… xxx
