58. Kinloch Wilderness Retreat Wedding with Bride Kim Crossman

The lovely Kim Crossman joins us on the podcast today. She recently married the love of her life in a beautiful pocket of Otago glory, we chat through their love story and the whole wedding planning process. A few things we cover: Marrying the undies-togs-undies-togs ad guy. IYKYK. How they met and their instant connection. A beautiful proposal on one of their adventures. Planning an intentionally Kiwi wedding and supporting Kiwi businesses. Having a morning ceremony and why she recommends it (hello afternoon nap!). How they included their family and friends in meaningful ways and invited them to contribute to the nostalgia and storytelling of their day. A picnic reception! Not following tradition but planning a day that represented them. Their adventurous Fijian honeymoon. Tips to prepare in advance to alleviate any anxiety and protect your mental health. Celebrating every little milestone. The feeling of being a wife! ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all K & T's vendors. Be sure to check out some of their photos on IG at @thekiwiweddingpodcast + give us a follow.
