The McCaws make it official with Facebook snap

  • 15/01/2017

The closest thing we have to a New Zealand royal couple have posted their first picture as husband and wife. 

All Blacks great Richie McCaw and Black Sticks hockey star Gemma Flynn uploaded the photo on Sunday morning, confirming the country's worst-kept secret - they did indeed get married on Saturday.

McCaw posted a photo of the couple holding hands on font of Lake Wanaka on Facebook just before 10:30am, with the caption: "Awesome to wake up on our first day Mr and Mrs McCaw." 

Going by the caption it seems Gemma will be taking Richie's last name, becoming Gemma McCaw. 

The couple got married at the Olive Garden wedding venue in Wanaka on Saturday afternoon, after much speculation across the New Zealand media. Sports stars flew to Wanaka from around the country, including All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, and fellow Black Sticks stars Rose Keddel and Olivia Merry.
