Breakfast’s Matty Mclean to tie knot with partner

- Ricardo Simich

Wedding season is upon us with a TV star and others set to walk the aisle in their own romantic way.

Breakfast’s Matty Mclean (pictured, left) is soon to wed real estate agent Ryan Teece (right ) at Parihoa Farm, the home of The Great Kiwi Bake Off in Muriwai.

“We fell in love with the venue as soon as we turned up there for a site visit — it’s a beautiful farm right on the rugged west coast, and the most incredible place for us to tie the knot,” Mclean tells Spy.

“Ryan and I are coming up on six years together now — we got engaged on our fifth anniversar­y — and it really just feels like the perfect next step. I truly can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.”

Mclean, 36, says he and Teece, 31, are so excited about celebratin­g their big day this summer and everything seems to be in order and going to plan.

Mclean says the pair are doing it their own way and it’s going to be one heck of a party.

“Although there’s something slightly nerve-wracking about throwing the biggest party of your life! Luckily, we have some incredible people by our side to make sure the day runs smoothly — and as long as there’s food, booze and music, I think everyone should have a great time.”

Meanwhile, superstar influencer­s Sarah Harris and Joshua Williams — who used to be known as NZ’S Ken and Barbie of Instagram — are planning a relatively small affair in February, also at Parihoa Farm.

“Much to everyone’s surprise we’re keeping our numbers small and intimate with no phones!” they tell Spy.

“We decided to just have our closest family and friends so we get to spend time with every individual person and be 100 per cent present.”

The pair, who got engaged in Bora Bora in 2019, have set a plan for the imagery they want to efficientl­y capture the day, so they can party the night away with their nearest and dearest. — Herald on Sunday
