Yes, we are headed down South. Woo Hoo! And for this one, my hubby Greg is my co-pilot/ assistant. Our dear friends Anna and James are getting hitched.

This event has been two years in the making (we are dying already…let’s go!), and what a party they have planned. The super star couple is getting married in Hawkes Bay at the gorgeous Mudbrick Vineyard. The wedding will be laid back and lovely, just as they are.

Anna grew up close by. Her restaurant South, located in Soma, is inspired by the wine and cuisine of NZ, along with the Australian influences of her best friend Liz and the superstar Australian chef, Luke Mangan

Anna and I are already concocting our ideas for the fashion shoot couple days prior to the wedding; a meadow of sheep, long white go-go boots, and a short wedding veil.

Here’s a quick blurb that James wrote on how he met and fell for Anna. Is this guy cute or what??  “On a warm August evening in New York City’s Chinatown, I approached seven flights of stairs that would forever change my life.  On crutches with a torn Achilles, floor by floor, I sweated my way up the old pre-war building to find a smiley green-eyed Kiwi girl I’d make my wife.  Gigondas at Balthazar, lattes at Gitande, I found the happy face I’ll love to the end…”.
