When radio presenter Lana Searle was cast away on Celebrity Treasure Island back in February, it was perfect timing for the bride-to-be.
“We were in the depths of wedding planning, so it was convenient timing for me to fall off the grid,” the More FM Breakfast Club host tells Woman’s Day, laughing. “There was a long list of things to be done and I’m not a planner, so it was all up to my fiancée, who luckily is great at organising things.
“It’s going to be perfect because she’ll have done it all. I just need to be given the time on the day to turn up!”
Lana, 34, will marry her partner of four years, beauty salon employee Katie Cochrane, 39, in Tutukaka, Northland, on November 19 and the broadcaster says it’s important they have “a ceremony that reflects us as a couple”.
So what are they like as a pair? “We’re just extremely grateful that we’ve found each other. It’s a little bit later in life than some people, so we’re still that sick couple who are madly in love, going out on dates and going away for weekends by ourselves.”
