Rutherford, 29, spent Thursday on the ground at the Mount Maunganui slip site. He spent the day before his wedding there too, alongside Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, as well as making a visit to the site of the Pāpāmoa landslide. “I did find it really conflicting, but I knew that my priority needed to be my community, and then on the Saturday, my priority being Hannah and our marriage. “I think that’s one of the reasons why we make such a formidable and strong team, her support for me, her love. The pair were married in an intimate affair at the popular wedding venue, Black Walnut, in Whakamārama, a 30-minute drive from Tauranga.
