\u201cDespite pretty treacherous weather in the lead-up, we were very lucky for our pre-function, and on the wedding day, the clouds literally parted, and we had gorgeous sun.\u201d <\/p>\n

Parore, 55, met Price through friends of friends nearly five years ago, but it was six months before they started dating.<\/p>\n
In their time together since, they have become a multi-property-owning, multimillionaire power couple, and parents to twins Elliott and Heidi in January last year.<\/p>\n
The wedding was Parore\u2019s third; he wed model Miller Rose Macleod-McGhie in 2014, before they split two years later. Society Insider understands he married second wife, interior designer Danielle Francis, around 2019, with the couple splitting a few years later.<\/p>\n

Parore\u2019s former partner Sally Ridge, their children Astin, and Mclane, and Ridge\u2019s partner, multimillionaire property developer John Darby, were all in attendance for his wedding to Price.<\/p>\n
The couple split in 2010 after a seven-year relationship. Their separation dragged on for several years due to legal disputes over assets.<\/p>\n
One wedding guest told Society Insider it was a testament to how well Parore and Ridge support each other in the latest phases of each other\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n
Parore and Price even served wines from Amisfield \u2013 Darby\u2019s Central Otago winery \u2013 among the \u201cnumerous bottles of champagne and cocktails served throughout the weekend\u201d, the wedding guest says.<\/p>\n

Astin, 22, and Mclane, 20, walked with their younger siblings down the aisle ahead of the bride \u2013 Astin with his 1-year-old brother Elliot and Mclane with Elliot\u2019s twin, Heidi \u2013 and later made speeches during the reception.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the twins being so cute, they nearly stole the show at the ceremony. Libby and Adam\u2019s lives are complete; they are truly on a journey together forever,\u201d another guest of their wedding told Society Insider.<\/p>\n

Price says having Parore\u2019s children speak at their wedding was super special, as was having all their friends and family<\/a> come together at their Hokianga property in Koutu for the three-day celebrations.<\/p>\n More than 130 guests made their way to Koutu, either driving or arriving in helicopters on Friday, January 23, staying at accommodation options at the couple\u2019s property, surrounding Airbnbs and the Sands Hotel Hokianga.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s compound sits on the point looking out over the harbour. It features three baches and a teepee, set among beautiful grounds, which include a spa, pool and tennis court as well as a helipad to house Parore\u2019s Bell Long Ranger helicopter.<\/p>\n Parore\u2019s fellow former Black Cap teammates Chris Cairns and Dion Nash were there, with Nash\u2019s wife, former Black Fern Bernice Mene.<\/p>\n Also in attendance were multimillionaires including Voyager founder Seeby Woodhouse; Lighthouse Financial\u2019s managing director Matthew Harris and his fianc\u00e9e, physiotherapist Emma Louise Loftus; Silicon Valley-based Kiwi tech entrepreneurs Erika and William Palmer; and Fiji-based former star of The Apprentice New Zealand, tourism guru Olivia Rogers. <\/p>\n After a casual drinks and dinner reception on the Friday evening, the next day Price and Parore exchanged vows on the helicopter pad, surrounded by a circle of white chairs and white rose stems rising from the ground. <\/p>\n Price looked radiant in an off-the-shoulder white Nova Grace dress by Vivienne Westwood, featuring a train and classic Gucci horsebit shoes. Her hair was styled by the Rich List\u2019s go-to hairstylist, Robyn Munro, and her makeup was by Blair Gamblin, whose work has appeared in glossy magazines. <\/p>\n Parore looked dapper in a white dinner jacket and black tie and black Herm\u00e8s loafers. <\/p>\n The couple were married by their good friend, wedding celebrant Niki Osborne, in front of pink and white flower towers created by luxury wedding florists, Little Leaf Florals. <\/p>\n Guests then mingled across the expansive grounds, dotted with umbrellas and drink stations, while the newlyweds had photos on the beach, before gathering in a large, beautifully decorated marquee for the reception.<\/p>\n The couple had two masters of ceremony, Will Palmer, and Price\u2019s brother, Thomas, who made quite the entrance in a purple and pink sequinned jacket, spraying bottles of champagne.<\/p>\n The newlyweds\u2019 and Astin and Mclane\u2019s speeches are said to have come straight from the heart.<\/p>\n At the reception, guests enjoyed a seasonal menu created by Northland Private Dining caterers Salt and Seed and curated by Parore and Price, followed by dancing the night away to Auckland wedding singer Lee Gray. A champagne brunch followed the next day.<\/p>\n The newlyweds headed to Marlborough a few days after the wedding for a five-day trip walking the Queen Charlotte Track.<\/p>\n Sources say they were keen not to be away from their twins for any longer and arrived home on the weekend to the new multimillion-dollar Remuera home they\u2019ve just moved into.<\/p>\n Family honeymoons are planned this winter at the couple\u2019s villa in Bali and their 17th-century, five-bedroom chateau in Bordeaux, France.<\/p>\n Greta van den Brink\u2019s big music plans<\/p>\n Auckland-based Rich List heiress Greta van den Brink<\/a> is staking a claim for herself as a quadruple threat: the 26-year-old champion polo player, stuntwoman and actor is getting ready to release her debut album, two years after starting out as a singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n She launched her latest track, Mr Ego, at a listening party at Ponsonby\u2019s Nami record bar on Tuesday night, ahead of the release of her album, This Wasn\u2019t Planned, in May.<\/p>\n Van den Brink is the youngest daughter of Tony and Christine, who are reportedly worth $450 million. Tony owns Van Den Brink Group, most famous for its Brink\u2019s Chicken brand, and Christine was a talented fashion designer on the scene in the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n Greta is very aware of the privilege of growing up at Willow Park in Karaka, a 136ha farm and estate worth more than $26m, but insists her parents always kept her grounded and grateful.<\/p>\n \u201cI had an incredible upbringing swinging in willow trees, and I never wore shoes unless riding a horse,\u201d van den Brink says.<\/p>\n \u201cMum and I would go shopping, and I would point out what I liked, and then she would make it for me herself, changed up and much better.<\/p>\n \u201cI know being born into wealth is the luck of the draw, but that luck is truly being the daughter of two parents who love each other deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n She credits her singing voice to her dad, whom she remembers singing 50s and 60s love songs throughout the house when she was growing up.<\/p>\n Her parents met riding horses and are now hugely influential in New Zealand\u2019s equestrian scene \u2013 dad Tony is president of the NZ Polo club, and next week two of her brothers, Matthew and Steve, are playing in the NZ Polo Open in Clevedon. She says she couldn\u2019t be prouder of her family\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n A keen drama student during her time at Diocesan School for Girls, van den Brink then went on to graduate from prestigious drama school The Actors\u2019 Program (TAP) in 2019, where she was mentored by actor and co-founder Sara Wiseman.<\/p>\nFormer Black Caps Chris Cairns, Adam Parore and Dion Nash.<\/p>\n
