KEVIN STENT/Stuff Amanda and Michael Vaisigano have had their fair share of challenges in the 14 years they’ve been together. Shared values, unconditional support – and a sense of humour – have got them through. Amanda Vaisigano, 32, a publicist, married architectural designer Michael Vaisigano, 35, in 2013. They live in Kilbirnie with their three children MJ, 6, Tila, 3, and 1-year-old Louie. AMANDA: Michael is 6’5” so he really stands out in a crowd. That’s how I spotted him in a Wellington bar in 2007. I’d just finished a year’s course at the NZ Institute of Sport (NZIS) and he had moved down from Hawke’s Bay to attend the NZIS basketball academy. He’s also incredibly handsome and as soon as I locked eyes on him, I knew that was it.
