Ardern told Three’s breakfast television show The AM Show she had set a date but wanted to let guests know first because accommodation was limited in Gisborne. It comes after she told Coast Radio last week the couple planned to get married this summer. Invitations for the big day haven’t been sent out yet. The PM’s office this morning had nothing further to add to Ms Ardern’s AM Show comments. The PM got engaged to Mr Gayford over Easter weekend in 2019 in Mahia. He popped the question at the top of Mokotahi Hill while the couple were on holiday in Mahia.
