It's been five years since the law changed allowing gay wedding ceremonies in New Zealand! It was back on 5th September 2013 I performed my first gay wedding ceremony after the New Zealand Government ratified same-sex marriages. Over the past five years, I have been so very lucky to have met a huge number of beautiful women and men from New Zealand and overseas. All are deeply in love and just wanted to get married in gay wedding ceremonies.
