THE OFFICIAL WEDDING ALBUM
ON SALE
FROM MONDAY, JANUARY 16
It was the moment New Zealand had been waiting for with feverish anticipation – the wedding of All Black legend Richie McCaw to his hockey sweetheart Gemma Flynn. Dubbed New Zealand’s own royal wedding, the happy couple didn’t disappoint, exchanging vows in stunning style on the edge of Lake Wanaka on Saturday.
Woman’s Day is delighted to share the official coverage of the wedding of Mr and Mrs McCaw held at The Olive Grove in Wanaka, with the exclusive photos and story on-sale from today.
“Richie and
Gemma’s wedding was breathtakingly lovely and I’m
thrilled we can share the romantic event with our
readers,” says Sido Kitchin, Editor-in-Chief of
Woman’s Day.
Gemma, 26, was the picture of
elegance, wearing a white custom-made Anna Shimmel silk
satin gown, shoes by Valentino and diamond earrings by
Sutcliffe Jewellery. And Richie, 36, looked more handsome
than ever in a black Ermenegildo Zegna suit.
They exchanged wedding vows in front of 170 family and friends, before choppering to the top of the Crown Range for a photo session with dramatic views of Wanaka - where they were engaged just over a year ago - providing the picture-perfect backdrop.
“I hope readers enjoy this intimate glimpse
into the special day of the extradinary Richie McCaw, a Kiwi
legend who brought us so much national pride and joy in his
career,“ says Sido. “I think we all love knowing this
humble hero has found such personal happiness with Gemma –
and wish them both all the very best for the
future.
“Richie and Gemma understood their was
unprecedented interest in their wedding day, and made the
considered decision to share this story because they
appreciate the enormous support of Kiwi fans in their
careers – and knew they’d enjoy being included in their
special celebration.“
