Whangamata Wedding

I’ve spent more New Year’s Eves at the Mahoney’s place in Whangamata on the Coromandel Peninsular than I can remember. With its beautiful hilltop setting overlooking the harbour and the town, it is the perfect place to be to celebrate the start of the New Year. But this time it was extra-special: Thomas Mahoney, an old friend from high school days and his fiancée Nikki chose this New Year’s Eve to get married.

The wedding took place in the garden of Tom’s parents’ house up on the hill. The weather was perfect and ceremony was relaxed and intimate. In his own inimitable style, Eric, the Best Man, mixed up the rings for bride and groom - but made up for it with a great speech afterwards. A barbeque, party and fireworks at midnight rounded out a brilliant evening. Congratulations to Tom and Nikki.
