Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern may be getting married this summer - but maybe don't expect a wild hen's do beforehand.<\/p>\n
That is if her reaction to a gift from TVNZ's Breakfast team is anything to go by.<\/p>\n
At the end of her last interview on the Breakfast show for the year, the PM was given a gift from the team.<\/p>\n
As she opened it, host John Campbell revealed it was something for her hen's party, if she had one - to which Ardern made a face.<\/p>\n
\"Wow, this could be any manner of distasteful gifts,\" she joked.<\/p>\n
She then lifted out a sparkly headband emblazoned with the word \"bride\", a bridal sash and a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n
Holding up the headband, she laughed: \"I can promise you, this will never see the light of day.\"<\/p>\n
Her upcoming wedding to Clarke Gayford is planned for this summer in Gisborne.<\/p>\n
Asked on ZM this month about how her wedding plans were going, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said \"you'd have to ask Clarke, he's in charge\".<\/p>\n
\"I said to someone I do really think I'm the least-engaged bride. I know the big stuff, but he's really doing the lot.\"<\/p>\n

Asked if he was moving a marquee in on the back of a truck, in reference to Clarke's TVNZ show Moving House, \"you know what, it's not that far off\".<\/p>\n
And while the joke could have revealed details of her wedding ceremony, Ardern denied that would be actually happening on her big day.<\/p>\n
She said her comment just represented \"that it's going to be pretty low key\".<\/p>\n
In July, Ardern admitted in a radio interview that she won't be embarking on a honeymoon after her big day. She is too busy leading the country after all.<\/p>\n
Chatting to MoreFM hosts Gary and Lana, Ardern was asked if she had any honeymoon plans in the works.<\/p>\n
\"No, no, I don't. I'll probably be going back to work,\" the PM confessed.<\/p>\n
She added she didn't think she's missing out on a right of passage for a bride.<\/p>\n
\"I guess it's my choice, for having major life events while in this job. So, no one's fault except my own. No complaints from us.\"<\/p>\n
