My Story.
My name is Anania.
I am the Founder, Owner and Operator of Married 15 ways to Friday. I was born and raised in Aotearoa and am currently operating on the North island; Te-Ika-A-Maui.
When I was fifteen I began dreaming up this business, so about a year and a half ago now. Although it may seem like a slightly perplexing career choice at my age, for me it was an obvious choice.
Growing up with the peak decade of wedding movies inspired a love for romance and fashion from the beginning.
A tale as old as time, I began dreaming up and designing my future wedding as a child, taking inspiration from the iconic Monica Geller (Friends, 1994-2004), Maggie Carpenter (Runaway Bride, 1999), Hannah (Maid of Honor, 2008), Jane Nicolas (27 dresses, 2008) and especially Liv and Emma (Bride Wars, 2009). Throughout the years there have been many different renditions of the day, but the thing that changed the most was always the dress. Upon reflection, I believe this is because the design of my dream dress changed and evolved as I did.
The outfit you choose to wear on your wedding day is a personal one. It always has been; trends come and go, but no one can deny that every wedding garment is unique in one way or another. Nowadays, that can be part of the challenge. There are so many options, it can be a struggle to find a garment that is right for you.
Enter, Married 15 ways to Friday.
Posing a unique opportunity to wear a garment with history (known or mysterious!) While still being your choice, and your taste, Married 15 ways to Friday strives to provide every bride with an outfit they love, without compromising on price, style, post-code or the quality of experience.
Whether you are like me (a dreamer and planner since day dot), whether you are the opposite and you don’t particularly care what you look like so long as you can dance all night, or whether this is completely new and you have never given it a single thought, I hope you find an outfit you feel beautiful in on your special day!
