Gardiner said she had been thinking about it for years, and had already worked alongside celebrant Rachel Tau alupe, photographer Ruth Thompson and caterer Roxanne Phipps many times. “So I thought, ‘we have all the resources, let s do it, why not?’ This year has been terrible for a lot of people so it is a nice way to bring a bit of joy,” Gardiner said. The ceremony would be held at the Blenheim Ūkaipō - Rangitāne Centre. Thompson remembered when the four of them met up in November to come up with a plan.
