Erin Simpson

Complete with smoke bombs, a serenade and the offering of a red rose, it really was a glamorous event.

Black Caps, All Blacks, Bachelors and Shortland Street stars - and the one musician who appeared on the list three times.

It was stressful, to say the least, when a massive fire almost derailed their nuptials. But in the end, everything worked out just as it was planned.

They're not making it easy on themselves thanks to Erin's hectic work schedule.

After making a secret trip to see his future in-laws, the former Bachelor star made the moment all the more special by proposing with Erin’s late grandmother’s wedding ring.

''I knew from quite early on that I wanted to marry Erin.''

It's been a whirlwind year for this smitten pair. They're now enjoying nesting in their new home and are even talking marriage and babies.

After a quick courtship, the pair are ready to take the next step in their relationship. “I just feel like the little girl who has found her Prince Charming,” says loved-up Erin.

He couldn't find lasting love on The Bachelor, but Zac has found his soulmate in Erin and he wants the world to know it.

The former bachelor and his new girl are looking very loved-up indeed.
