Lee Cox from Kaiapoi, son of Stuart Cox nō Tuahiwi and the late Mary Riria Cox (née Bartlett) nō Hinemauria and Crete Cox (née Pirini) from Murihiku, daughter of Mateka Dawn Pirini née Anglem nō Temuka and the late Frances Tautuhi o Rongo o Warohiko Pirini nō Te Kaha celebrated their wedding on Saturday 7 November 2015 at Ōuruhia Hall, Belfast.
They were married by the beautiful Fern Whitau nō Moeraki. Crete was escorted by her Uncle David Higgins nō Moeraki and walked down the aisle by her two eldest brothers, Lance and Sean Pirini who reside in Perth, Australia.
The day and night, from the gorgeous makeup by Chantal Tumahai nō Ngāti Waewae; the beautiful weather; and delicious food cooked by the Morgan whānau of Ōnuku was that to remember and shared with our friends, families and tamariki – Ātaahua Vania Pirini (11), Mary-Mateka Cox (5) and Sean Arapata Cox (2).
Thank you to all who helped us make the day unforgettable, and to all our friends and whānau who travelled from afar.
