All Black Aaron Smith has this weekend tied the knot with long-time partner Teagan Voykovich.
The couple is yet to share any photos from the ceremony, which took place near Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel Peninsula.
Voykovich posted photos of the venue and herself with her bridesmaids to her Instagram stories.
The posts were flooded with congratulatory messages from followers as well as wedding guests.

NZRPA Mitre 10 Cup Young Player of the Year Freedom Vahaakolo in action for Otago against Tasman.
Outstanding Otago wing Freedom Vahaakolo has been snapped up by the Highlanders on a short-term contract. Vahaakolo scored seven tries in his debut season for Otago last year and won the NZRPA Mitre 10 Young Player of the Year award, impressing his peers with his pace, power and finishing ability.

Highlanders fans were puzzled when Freedom Vahaakolo missed out on a Super Rugby contract. Eyebrows were therefore raised when he missed out on a full Super Rugby contract but the door has now opened in Dunedin, with Highlanders wing Sam Gilbert not expected to be available until April as he recovers from the ACL injury he suffered last year.
Hannah’s caption says it all: “The greatest gift, our little Bills. Merry Christmas everyone! And what do you think of media star Toni Street’s sartorial Christmas? The entire family is wearing snowflake jumpers, adults in navy, and the younger tribe in red. We love wee Lachlan’s cool jumper with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Then there are the Beckhams, with sleek black PJs with white piping – Victoria no doubt had a hand in this choice. Her caption reads: “Merry Christmas everybody! Sending lots of love from us all x family time is so precious x kisses.” Richie and Gemma McCaw both posted a sporty shot from the beach yesterday, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. But there are no silly hats. Gemma’s post reads: “Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Wishing you a special day filled with love, laughter and happiness.”

Magpies halfback Folau Fakatava will likely have to make a massive call at some point in the next year after his 2021 Highlanders contract expires. But former Magpie Aayden Clarke, who is chief executive of Pacific Rugby Players, is just happy the 20-year-old Tongan will have a choice to make at all.
Fakatava was one of the New Zealand-based rugby stars chosen to select the Moana Pasifika team in their first-ever fixture against the Māori All Blacks in Hamilton last weekend.
