Michelle and Tony’s wedding
Michelle and Tony’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration that brought together culture, family, and faith — from a traditional tea ceremony in the morning, to a heartfelt church ceremony, and finally a rustic reception at Narrows Landing in Hamilton.
Their love story began thanks to Tony’s sister, who one day approached Michelle at work and asked, “Michelle, are you single?” The rest, as they say, is history! What started as a simple introduction quickly grew into a deep connection, leading them to a wedding day full of meaning and joy.
A Wedding Day with Many Chapters
The day began with not one, but two tea ceremonies — first at the bride’s home and then at the groom’s. These intimate moments honoured family traditions and created a strong sense of unity between the two families.
The celebrations then moved to the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Hamilton, where Michelle and Tony exchanged vows in a timeless church ceremony. Afterward, they headed to the Hamilton Gardens for bridal portraits surrounded by stunning scenery, before joining family and friends at Narrows Landing for their reception. The rustic charm of the venue perfectly suited their vision for the evening — relaxed, warm, and welcoming.
Personal Touches
Adding to the uniqueness of their day, Michelle and Tony took on some of the wedding details themselves. From arranging their own flowers to Michelle baking their wedding cake, these DIY touches made the celebration even more personal and heartfelt.
With so many layers — cultural traditions, a classic church ceremony, beautiful garden portraits, and a rustic reception — Michelle and Tony’s wedding was a true reflection of who they are as a couple. Surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated love, tradition, and new beginnings in the most genuine way possible.
For couples planning a Hamilton wedding with multiple traditions and venues, Michelle and Tony’s celebration is a perfect example of how to weave together different elements of your story into one unforgettable day.
