“Finally Married”: Home and Away star’s beautiful outdoor wedding
Luke Jacobz and Raychel Stuart have officially tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Sydney's Centennial Park.
The former Home and Away star and his American fiancée looked smitten as they said their vows under a canopy of trees in their intimate wedding surrounded by family and friends.
Raychel was escorted down the aisle 40 minutes early by her new mother-in-law's partner, John.
“It was truly an unforgettable moment,” Raychel giddily told New Idea.
“The whole setting was just so magical,” she gushed.
The newlyweds had both lost their fathers and Raychel’s brothers were unable to attend the event because they couldn’t travel from Los Angeles.
However, the couple sweetly designated two spots on the table for their fathers, with their pictures propped up, as a way of celebrating the memorable event with them.
When Luke first spotted his bride walking down the aisle he couldn’t help but burst into tears, and the beautiful moment has now been captured eternally in one of the photos.
Raychel walked down the aisle in a stunning bodycon wedding dress with a thigh high slit that she jazzed up with her own arrangement of native blooms.
She completed the look with a flowing veil and a pair of white strappy heels.
Luke looked as dashing as he did when he played Angelo Rosetta in Home and Away but has matured into his features as he donned a custom suit with a bow tie.
He clearly couldn’t hold back his excitement as he happily punched the air after saying “I do” and later on posted the happy news on his Instagram.
“So our day finally happened. 499 days apart, 3rd attempt and we are finally MARRIED.”
“I am so proud to be married to my best friend. We have been through so much and now we can enjoy the rest of our lives as Husband and Wife!” he added.
Following their magical ceremony, the couple posed for photos with their brand new marriage certificate before heading to the reception.
Their wedding comes after they were forced to delay their nuptials twice during the pandemic, but the lovebirds have finally managed to turn their “lifelong dream”, into reality.
