By nature, young queer couple Teegan and Mahatia have always challenged the conventional. The day of their commitment ceremony, the eccentric officiant – Marry Me Dee – makes a promise to throw their wedding free of charge when same-sex marriage is legalised. Two years later, with the Marriage Amendment Act 2017 passing, Dee honours her promise and calls on an entire industry of wedding professionals to put together a rockin’ wedding for what will truly be an affair to remember. AND WE WON is a 5 minute documentary that highlights the need to challenge and redefine traditional conventions when they do not work or apply to you as we all deserve the right to equality.
