As a dazzling Laura Daniel made her way down the aisle to the tune of Jason Derulo's It Girl, her dashing husband-to-be Joseph Moore couldn't wipe the huge grin from his face. Quoting from the comedy Borat, he recalls, "My first thought was, 'Wa-wa-wee-wa!' I didn't know what to think. She looked incredible - stunning!"
Familiar faces from Jono And Ben, 7 Days and Funny Girls, the lovebirds - known together as comedy duo Two Hearts - married on 30 December 2022 at Nadia Lim's Royalburn Farm in the Crown Ranges near Arrowtown.
A-list guests, including Hilary Barry, Rose Matafeo, Chris Parker, Brynley Stent, Tom Sainsbury and Hayley Sproull, descended on the Queenstown Lakes District for three fun-filled days of festivities.
Laura laughs, "We seriously considered eloping because we felt huge pressure to have this amazing wedding!" Fortunately, the spectacular day went off without a hitch and Laura, 32, and Joseph, 34, are now Zooming in to chat about it from Australia after sell-out gigs at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
By the time you read this, they'll have performed in Wellington. And this week, it's Auckland's turn to see their show Til Death Do Us Hearts, which they describe as "an intimate evening of songs about love, life and maintaining a successful relationship with your co-worker".
