On The Up: Auckland couple finally get their dream wedding 12 years after motorbike accident

Matt and Kerryn Hoani were planning to get married in 2013 when a motorbike accident left Matt a quadriplegic and put their dream day on pause. Eleven years later, he finally got to pop the question at Eden Park. They’ve been together for 26 years and finally got to tie the knot on April 2.

For Matt and Kerryn Hoani, it’s been a long time coming. It took “12 years and third time lucky” for their wedding day to take place, Matt tells the Herald . In 2013, the couple were living on the Gold Coast with their daughters.



Matt, now 44, was a truck driver; Kerryn, 43, an insurance broker..
