An increasing number of couples around the world are saying “I Do” in all sorts of non-traditional ways. Beer festivals, birthday parties and airports are not your usual wedding venues, but to these Kiwi couples they were the perfect place to tie the knot. As we hit peak wedding season, I speak to three couples who took the unconventional wedding route. “We’d planned a traditional wedding on my parents’ Reporoa farm in March 2019, but the friend we wanted to marry us hadn’t qualified as a marriage celebrant,” says speech and language therapist Renique, 30. That’s what happened to Callie and Sandi, who were married at Wellington’s annual beer festival, Beervana, in August 2018.
