Reminiscing the Mackenzie Country



18 months after our nuptials, I finally found the time to complete our thank you notes (I know, this will make any wedding planners pop)! I could not help it but smile at the memories of the event, people involved and everyone who'd remembered and celebrated the event with us.

The mountains that are solid, the water that cleanses, the matagauri bush - albeit full of thorns, produces the sweetest fragrance every year, and the Cross.

The night before with clear sky, such that the nearest galaxies to us are visible - the Magellanic Clouds.


Alpine Springs - skating on ice in our wedding gear!

My homemade bouquet, and loving the snow backdrop to help flaunt the winter theme!


Lake Alexandrina


and of course, Lake Tekapo


Lake Tekapo is a lakeside village in the Mackenzie Country, 2 1/2 hours drive from Christchurch. It's geographic location is so strategic such that the Mt John Observatory have the best views of the night sky. It is also a popular destination for outdoor activities, camping, a romantic getaway and family fun.

We stayed at the Bluewater Peppers Resort for the serviced apartments, so to cater to everyone's needs whilst there. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable indeed. Of course, with beautiful views!

For places to eat, these are our favourites:

(our much delayed wedding reception with the rest of the family and friends was held in Christchurch at the Newbery Lodge)
