The Western Bulldogs forward got married in his hometown of Deniliquin, a three-and-a-half hour drive from Melbourne.
Jack Riewoldt spilt the beans about Martin’s hit-and-run wedding antics on the Balls & Bumpers podcast, which he co-hosts with Supercars star Scott McLaughlin.
“He (Martin) organised a private driver and instead of staying the night in Deniliquin, we all stayed in the Big Four caravan park which was amazing, an absolutely fantastic place that is,” Riewoldt explained.
“He got a driver to drive him up and wait at the wedding.
“They picked Dylan Grimes up on the way at Mt Macedon and got to the wedding at 4.30pm.
“The dress code was cocktail, Dusty had a white shirt and jeans on but no one batted an eyelid.
“The the driver waited until 2am in the morning and then took him back to Melbourne.
“We tried to send the driver home at certain times but it didn’t work.”
