The Herald Sun reports the wedding was attended by plenty of familiar footy faces and Melbourne names.

Carlton star Jack Silvagni, who recently ruptured his ACL, was the wedding’s MC, while Eddie McGuire and wife Carla were also in attendance.

Thomas won the 2010 AFL premiership with Collingwood and played 258 games in his career with the Magpies and Carlton before retiring in 2019.

The 36-year-old was part of Collingwood’s infamous ‘rat pack’ along with Heath Shaw, Dane Swan and Alan Didak during their glory days. Shaw was a groomsman along with Thomas’ old mates.

Thomas, who has a daughter Tilly from a previous relationship, previously said he wanted his wedding to be a celebration.

“It’s all about having fun,” he said on Triple M’s The Rush Hour.

“It’ll be parents, speeches from best man, maid of honour and then Tash and I and on with the party. Ninety per cent are glamping so it should be good.”
