Radio star's island wedding 'WE'RE NUTS ABOUT EACH OTHER!

It's said that smooth seas never made a good sailor, and the living proof of that comes in the shape of radio star and keen yachtie Hamish Coleman-Ross, the longtime host of Newstalk ZB's top-rating mental health programme The Nutters Club.

Always topping its timeslot, Hamish has been involved in the show since its inception and took the helm from Mike King in 2017.

And now he's also officially number one in the life of primary teacher Yvette Farnell after the pair tied the knot on Auckland's Motuihe Island.

After several COVID postponements, the lovebirds, both 38, exchanged vows in front of a backdrop of their beloved ocean and an intimate party of 70 guests ferried over to the wildlife sanctuary.

"This day is something I've wished for my whole life," said Hamish as he waited for his bride-to-be in the sand, in a custom pencil-grey suit from Barkers. He gasped when Yvette breezed across the grass to him in an ivory Anna Schimmel gown to the ENZSO version of Crowded Houses' Message To My Girl.

"We knew we would be very emotional reciting our vows, so we asked Penny to keep it simple," Hamish explains afterwards, referring to Auckland councillor Penny Webster, who acted as celebrant. "But I didn't think I'd be so swept away when I saw her - it was so wonderful."

Maid of honour Lucy Campbell, who met Yvette at high school, tells us, "Seeing them both just glowing with love and excitement when they first set eyes on each other was the highlight of the day. I witnessed my best friend marry her perfect match."

But this beautiful day almost didn't happen as Yvette, a doting mother to Harry, 15, and Ashley, 13, almost chickened out of their first date back in 2014. Luckily, Hamish managed to convince her to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the film Hercules and they quickly bonded over mocking the movie.
