You could forgive The Block NZ’s biggest-ever winner Sam Cable for thinking the universe was against him when it came to marrying his gorgeous fiancée Lydia Lawrence.
Not only did their 3 March Waiheke Island wedding day fall just weeks after Cyclone Gabrielle wreaked havoc on the North Island, but it was actually the couple’s third attempt at getting hitched, with the pandemic forcing them to cancel their big day twice since Sam popped the question back in February 2020!
In the intervening years, the couple has bought a house and had a baby boy, Sebastian,who is now an adorable 18-month-old.
“It’s crazy to think we’ve been planning our wedding since before Sebby even existed,” marvels Sam, 36, now a bar owner and national operations manager for a gym chain.
