7NEWS reporter Elspeth Hussey and her beau Alastair Dillon have tied the knot almost 20 years after their first kiss.

The couple met one another two decades ago, before sharing a smooch at a pub in Melbourne when they were both 21.

Going their separate ways back then, they rekindled their romance in recent years and on Saturday exchanged vows at St Mary’s Church, North Adelaide.

“We had to order in a marquee 48 hours before the wedding, which did wonders for the stress levels but it turned out to be a dream day,” Hussey said of springing into action when thunderstorms were forecast.

She add: “We had the most incredible time. We got engaged in Europe so we wanted the wedding to feel like a Tuscan summer.”

With Italian food on the menu and “lots of champagne and spritzers”, the now Mr and Mrs also had an Italian Millefoglie wedding cake “constructed in front of everyone”.
