“Continue to date each other; don't let married “Continue to date each other; don't let married life become routine! Do fun things. Create date nights. Be understanding and always communicate with each other no matter how big or small. Our own quirky rule for each other is that we are only allowed to get mad with each other on Mondays, any other day this isn't allowed.” – @waynus1990 & @joannennee⁠ ⁠ Joanne & Wayne have been partners in crime since they met, bonding over their love for food and dance.

"Ngaire wore a gorgeous embroidered lehenga (skirt "Ngaire wore a gorgeous embroidered lehenga (skirt), blouse, and dupatta (veil). The colour was crimson red, reflecting our chosen wedding colours as red is traditionally worn by Indian brides as the colour symbolises happiness. Ngaire knew she wanted the full Indian bridal experience – the outfit, the jewellery, and the mehendi (henna ceremony), and she looked incredible. Tanya went on a few traditional bridal dress-shopping trips and tried on a variety of traditional Western white gowns, but in the end, she decided on a beautiful lilac dress with lots of swish!" If you're a long-time Polka Dot Wedding reader you'll know we're huge fans of colour, and Ngaire & Tanya's Colourful Tradition-Filled Wedding Celebration sure is packed full of love and bursts of beautiful hues.
