What could be better than family time in Auckland, New Zealand? We moved from San Diego and definitely miss the weather, but life in Auckland is just peachy!
That’s how I’m going to refer to Hadyn and Joanna’s wedding until the end of days because it really really was THE Wedding. Everything was amazing, beautiful, perfect, on trend and everything just worked brilliantly. When you glean tid-bits of ideas here and there over …
