Two couples, Richard Rawstorn and Richard Andrew, and Jess Ives and Rachael Briscoe will be married at the historic Rotorua Museum. Guests are already assembling at both venues. In Auckland deputy mayor Penny Hulse and MP Louisa Wall who pushed the marriage Equality bill through Parliament in April will attend and TV cameras from a variety of channels are already setting up.
