Howie’s Story
Born in China, Hao or Howie as we all know him emigrated to New Zealand in 2015 after spending 5 years working in Kuwait. He knew NZ would be his home as soon as he landed. Howie is an avid lover of animals, plants and yoga. He has an incredible sense of curiosity and a very cheeky sense of humour. Howie is the homemaker of the two and he is very proud of the life he has built in Auckland. Howie is looking forward to celebrating with all his adopted friends and family he has met here in New Zealand.
Scott’s Story
Originally from Australia, Scott moved to New Zealand in 2011 to pursue his career in Fashion. Scott loves drinking with his with friends, eating out, and over-ordering, which is lucky, as his love for running balances out all the calories. Scott loves to learn new things, and if he is instantly good at it, will continue doing it. Scott likes the finer things in life which is likely why he chose Howie to marry. Scott is looking forward to the wedding as it will be the first time in 30 years his whole family will be together.
Their Relationship
Scott and Howie first met on Tinder during the Auckland lockdown in 2021. They officially got together in July of 2022 after Howie invited Scott to Melbourne for the weekend. Their first date was very memorable; they were both incredibly hungover, and it involved singing happy birthday 3 times in a packed restaurant to 3 different tables and Howie breaking into tears while watching a busker perform on the way home. They have a shared love of running, travelling, and the outdoors. They were engaged in July of 2023 on the Gold Coast, and have 3 little babies at home. Their song is Don’t Stop Believing by Journey, so expect to hear it a few times at the wedding!
