Colin & Carissa - Coromandel Peak | Queenstown Wedding Video

Meet Colin and Carissa, a dynamic duo whose love story is as unique as their personalities. Their journey began through mutual friends, probably at a concert or a house party, setting the stage for a connection that would endure the test of time.
From First Dates to Moving In
Their first date, if you can call it that, was a 3-day music festival adventure. However, their plans for an official first date were derailed when Colin found himself in a bit of trouble with the law. Despite this unconventional start, their bond grew stronger. Carissa's spontaneous offer for Colin to move into her tiny apartment marked a significant milestone, solidifying their commitment to each other.
Love Blossoms and Proposals Happen
For Colin, the concept of "the one" is less about destiny and more about the daily choice to build and nurture their relationship. Carissa, on the other hand, recalls a moment of vulnerability and honesty that solidified their love during a simple, sleepy morning. And then there was the unexpected proposal during a hike, a testament to Colin's ability to surprise and delight.
Admiring Each Other's Strengths
Colin admires Carissa's creativity and resilience, while Carissa marvels at Colin's intelligence, kindness, and adventurous spirit. Together, they form a formidable team, supporting each other through life's ups and downs.
Building a Life Together
Their journey as a couple has seen them overcome obstacles and achieve remarkable milestones, from quitting smoking to buying their first home and fostering dogs. Their strength lies in their ability to evolve together, embracing change and facing challenges head-on.
Looking Forward to New Adventures
As they embark on their New Zealand adventure, including a breathtaking helicopter elopement in Queenstown, Colin and Carissa eagerly anticipate the unknown. With no major plans on the horizon, they're excited to embrace the present and explore all that life has to offer, side by side.
A Unique Approach to Marriage
Their decision to elope stems from a desire for authenticity and intimacy, eschewing tradition in favor of a celebration that truly reflects their love and commitment. Marriage, to them, signifies a continuation of their journey as partners, best friends, and adventurers.
A Funny Vegas Escapade
Their adventures aren't just limited to love and commitment; they also have their fair share of quirky escapades, like the time they almost adopted a spray-painted dog in Las Vegas. While the experience didn't end with a new furry friend, it inspired them to become passionate advocates for animal welfare.
In summary, Colin and Carissa's love story is a testament to the power of choice, growth, and shared adventures. Their Queenstown elopement marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.
