Covid-19: Auckland's move to level 2 an early wedding gift for Titirangi couple

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Auckland’s move to Covid-19 alert level 2 is an early wedding present for Amy Holland​ and Daniel Tweed.​

The Titirangi pair are thrilled they will be allowed to tie the knot on Saturday at Waterfall Farm in Kaukapakapa.

“We just jumped into each other’s arms,” said Holland, 32, after the Government’s announcement to move Auckland from level 3 to 2 from midnight Wednesday.

The rest of the country will move to level 1 at the same time.

“Something went right for a change,” said Tweed, 28.

Holland, a hairdresser, said they had trimmed 21 people from their guest list to meet social gathering rules.

Level 2 means Aucklanders can have up to 100 people at their wedding.

Another welcome relief for the happy couple is the relaxation of travel rules: Under level 2, people can travel to other regions that are at level 2 or lower.

Holland’s sister is in Palmerston North, one bridesmaid is in Christchurch, and her parents who have been stuck in Huntly since Sunday’s lockdown announcement will be free to drive to the ceremony.

The couple is looking forward to an extended honeymoon in April, touring the South Island.
