CRICKET world champion David Warner has tied the knot with partner Candice Falzon at an intimate ceremony in the south coast countryside.
After a twelve-month engagement, the birth of his daughter and winning the World Cup, the explosive opening batsman finally wed his love at a picturesque country estate, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Up to 100 family and friends joined the couple over the Easter long weekend at Terrara House near Berry in NSW.
International cricketers Peter Siddle and Moises Henriques were on hand to support their team mate.
Australian actor Dominic Purcell was also spotted among the wedding party.
Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom were left disappointed with the pair seemingly sequestered from their hotels to a secret location overnight.
Australian wicket keeper Brad Haddin, who was seen enjoying drinks with Warner the night before, was also a significant omission, prompting speculation he may be best man.
The reason for the smoke and mirrors is rumoured to be due to the couple’s sale of their wedding rights to Woman’s Day for $500,000.
Warner’s father was spotted dressed in his wedding day finery, sipping a bottle of water outside the Berry Inn.
While Peter Siddle and wife Anna took the opportunity to do some last minute shopping.
About 2.45pm, several buses arrived outside the Berry Boutique Motel and guests were taken on a short drive from the town to the venue.
Hired security guards and trees ensured privacy for the ceremony, although a drone was reportedly spotted circling the skies around the estate.
A popular wedding venue, Terrara House, offers all the features for a memorable wedding day with silk marquees, chandeliers and on site chefs.
One shopkeeper said she could see something was going on by the influx of tall athletic types along the main street.
“I can see lots of big boys walking around so I know something is going to happen this weekend,” she said.
Accommodation in the town was booked to capacity on the busy Easter long weekend with the wedding party filling two boutique venues to the rafters.
The day before, the wedding party gathered at local watering hole, the Great Southern Hotel to watch the football.
Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin was among the crowd of well wishers shouting beers and chatting with Warner and Falzon’s parents.
After the game, Warner stayed to share a quiet moment with his old man before heading back to his hotel.
