Former New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has finally exchanged vows with her long-time partner, Clarke Gayford, in a secret ceremony. The couple, who had been tight-lipped about their wedding plans, surprised fans by getting married in a small, intimate ceremony in Hawke's Bay. Despite the pandemic-related delays, Ardern and Gayford managed to pull off a beautiful wedding surrounded by close family and friends. The former Prime Minister looked stunning in a traditional gown as she said 'I do' to her partner.

The wedding was not without drama, as anti-vax protesters gathered outside the venue, attempting to disrupt the peaceful ceremony. However, Ardern and Gayford remained undeterred and focused on celebrating their love in the midst of the chaos. Guests, including former colleagues like Grant Robertson and Andrew Campbell, were seen arriving at the venue, adding to the excitement of the day.

In a touching moment, Ardern was spotted throwing her bouquet to cheers from the guests, marking the end of a beautiful ceremony. The newlyweds, who had been engaged for almost five years, finally sealed the deal in a highly secure event that will be remembered for years to come.

In a surprising turn of events, Ardern and Gayford had initially planned to marry in 2022 but had to postpone due to Covid restrictions. However, they didn't let anything stand in the way of their love and managed to have a perfect wedding day despite the challenges. The couple's love story, which started in 2014, has finally culminated in a beautiful marriage, showcasing their unwavering commitment to each other.
