Former New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern weds long-time partner

Wellington [New Zealand], January 14: Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern married her fiance Clarke Gayford in a highly secure ceremony on Saturday.
The event took place at a vineyard on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, in the Hawke's Bay region, where Gayford's family live. The ceremony at Craggy Range winery took place amid high security.
Ardern has not publicly commented on the wedding.
Local media reported she wore a dress by New Zealand fashion designer Juliette Hogan. The small ceremony was attended by family, close friends and local lawmakers, including former prime minister Chris Hipkins, Stuff and the New Zealand Herald reported.
Ardern's original plans to wed Gayford in Gisborne in January 2022 were scuttled due to anti-Coronavirus restrictions in the country.
The restrictions included mask requirements and reduced gathering limits. "Such is life," she said at the time.
The couple were engaged in early 2019, almost one year after welcoming their daughter Neve in June 2018. When she unexpectedly resigned as prime minister in January last year, citing exhaustion, Ardern addressed Gayford during the press conference.
"And to Clarke: let's finally get married," she said at the time.
