A Soulmate Celebration: Dennis & Tamara’s Dream Wedding in Ohoka
In the heart of New Zealand’s South Island, just a stone’s throw from Christchurch, Dennis and Tamara embarked on their beautiful journey as soulmates at the Lacebark Wedding Venue in Ohoka. From the moment they met at Hope Church youth group, they couldn’t take their eyes off each other, and their wedding day was a magical testament to their enduring love and joy.
The day was filled with personal touches that reflected their unique story. Dennis and Tamara went on their first date at a charming gelato shop in Christchurch, so naturally, they delighted guests with a gelato treat after the ceremony—a sweet nod to the beginning of their journey together.
Family and friends played an integral role in making the day special. Tamara’s mum poured her heart into crafting each invite and piece of wedding stationery, setting the perfect tone for an intimate and personalised celebration. A talented family friend curated stunning floral arrangements that added a touch of natural beauty to the venue, echoing the lush surroundings of Ohoka.
The ceremony was a heartfelt affair, officiated by friends from their church community, who had witnessed their love story from its inception. Every word spoken resonated with deep meaning and joy, enveloping Dennis and Tamara in a bubble of love as they exchanged vows to stick by each other through thick and thin.
As the day transitioned into evening, some family members moved everyone to laughter and tears, serving as charming MC's who knew just how to keep the mood light and festive. The evening was a true celebration of love, not just between Dennis and Tamara, but among all who came together to witness this union.
Dennis and Tamara’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love story—a community coming together to celebrate two people who found their forever in each other. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a bright future.
Here's to Dennis and Tamara, true soulmates, beginning their new chapter in life with love, joy, and a little gelato!
