It’s hard to believe that it’s already 25 years since the country fell in love with, well, two people falling in love. Zane Nicholl and Paula
Stockwell were matched by their mates during a groundbreaking radio promotion for The Edge called Two Strangers And A Wedding. Back in 1999, there was no Love Island, no Married At First Sight, and no Tinder – it was the first time there’d been an opportunity of this type in Aotearoa.
Remarkably, for this pair, who first laid eyes on each other at the altar, the mutual attraction was instant and their love grew quickly. And now, as parents to three young adults, they’re sharing their own relationship advice with their children, Max, 22, Jack, 19, and Olive, 14.
“It’s pretty simple – be honest, speak your truth and always be mindful of the other person,” tells Zane, 56, settling in for an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day at the couple’s Hamilton home.
“We recently had some feedback that our kids are great to have around – grateful for what they have and helpful towards anyone who is having any sort of issue. I think that’s the best compliment any parent can receive. It makes my heart sing!”
“We’re very lucky that our kids are nice, kind and soft-hearted,” chips in Paula, 52.
Quite possibly, they’ve had two of the country’s most wonderful role models.
