Your weddings: Jessica and Doug Barnett’s special day

It was a classic case of two Kiwis locking eyes in a London bar.

In a classic case of two Kiwis locking eyes over a snakebite in a London bar, Jessica and Doug Barnett became the traditional travelling couple, taking off to far-flung places and eventually getting engaged on a yacht in the Greek islands.\n\nThey returned to New Zealand, settling in Christchurch, where the pair tied the knot in a beautiful, elegant setting at Newbury Lodge.\n\nHarking back to their London days, the bride arrived in a black cab to surprise her groom. \n\nAfterwards, they took off to Rarotonga for some much-needed R&R.

Beautiful bride Jessica Barnett.
