Former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern has taken to social media to describe her recent wedding - using just three words. 

Dame Jacinda shared a photo of her laughing while holding onto her husband Clarke Gayford with one hand, and a bouquet in her other. 

"Worth the wait," her Instagram caption read.

The post has since raked in compliments from the public, with over 100,000 likes and more than 3000 comments. 

Many people described the former politician as looking "beautiful" and "in love". 

"Congratulations, you are a vision," one woman wrote. 

"You look just stunning, an absolute picture," another said. 

"Congratulations, you beautiful humans! You both look utterly radiant," a third weighed in. 

The intimate ceremony, which took place at a winery in Hawke's Bay, was attended by family, close friends and former colleagues.  

Members of the public could be seen waiting outside the venue to try and get a peek at the special day. 

"So beautiful, so glad you two did eventually tie the knot," one woman commented. 

"May your love continue to blossom and connect your hearts to one another and the world," another wrote. 

"Wishing you both much happiness and many years together," one man said. 

Others described the photo as "heartwarming" and "incredible", with one woman describing Dame Jacinda as looking like "a ray of light".
