Christina + David | Aitutaki Wedding

“Other than the fact living in the Cook Islands is full of beautiful beaches and lush mountains - it is our home, our families, our support, our culture. Our whole lives being here is all we've known.”

One Foot Island, Aitutaki with the awesome duo Christina + David.

Christina’s words :

“We couldn't stop thinking of each other when we hung out as ‘friends’.  We first met working at Te Vara Nui Village as dancers in the cultural show.

After one year of dating, we were just crazy about each other. One night we went for a stroll on Muri Beach, which I might add was drizzling with rain and I had no clue why David wanted to go. Next minute he's holding my hands, down on one knee asking me to marry him. David was unprepared so there was no ring until the next day which was fine as we were just so excited and happy being with each other.

We welcomed our first child, Fetia and that same year we were carrying our second child, Aliyah.  Fetia is now 4 years and Aliyah is turning 2 in a few months.  They are the complete opposite of each other but are both drama queens.

My family is from Atiu, Mauke and Rarotonga.  David’s family is from Aitutaki, Atiu, Mangaia and Manihiki. Other than the fact living in the Cook Islands is full of beautiful beaches and lush mountains .. it is our home, our families, our support, our culture. Our whole lives being here is all we've known.”

Big blessings to Mr and Mrs Piakura.
