Ali and Casey's magical big day.

On a cloudless Queenstown afternoon, perched high on a stone-clad mountain, All Black comeback king Ali Williams married his sweetheart Casey Green in front of a celebrity-studded guest list of 130 friends and family.

The beautiful ceremony was held outside the quaint chapel of the luxury Stoneridge Estate, set on the banks of Lake Hayes.

Casey (30) looked stunning in a full-length ivory chiffon Jane Yeh gown with a sweetheart neckline, French Chantilly-lace cap sleeves and bodice, and a belt embellished with Swarovski crystals, with her hair covered by a crystal-studded lace veil.

From the Editor (abridged)
Casey and Ali's magical day went perfectly, thanks to wedding organiser Jacqui Spice from Touch of Spice, who last month celebrated her own international success, winning a coveted Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist award - the only New Zealander to do so this year.

"The trick is to make sure the bride and groom have a perfect day. They don't need to know what you've done to make that happen, " says Jacqui, who believes the costs of a wedding planner can make a great event perfect. "It's worth it - depending on what you want, it only costs from about $2500 and you don't have to stress."

As you can see from our photographs, there was no stress on the day - only joy, fun and a whole lot of love....
