We would like to welcome you to our website. This site was originally built in 2001 to share the preparation and countdown towards our wedding on June 2, 2001 in Auckland, New Zealand. Because so many of our family and friends weren’t able to be in Auckland for the day, we put together this little corner of the internet to share who we are, our families, and the celebration itself.
The wedding-PumicaAndBiren.com domain was purchased in 2001 and has been continuously owned ever since. The original website was hand-built with minimal programming tools, using Microsoft’s ASP — an emerging web technology stack at the time.
Twenty-five years on, this website has been lovingly restored — same words, same photos, same cream and gold colours — so that it still works on today’s browsers and phones. Please take a moment to sign our Guest Book or revisit the Photo Gallery.
