Emily van Egmond married her partner Kat Thompson and so many of her Matildas teammates attended that you would have thought the entire team was present.
The couple smiled from ear to ear as they were seen holding hands walking to greet their guests after the ceremony which took place at a winery at Krinklewood Estate in New South Wales' Hunter Valley.
Thompson dazzled in a stunning white dress while Egmond wore a black tuxedo with a bow tie.
The couple were joined by several of Van Egmond's Matildas teammates, including Sam Kerr and his pregnant fiancée Kristie Mewis.
Kerr and Mewis posed for photos alongside Ireland and Arsenal star Katie McCabe, as well as teammate Caitlin Foord.
Clare Polkinghorne, Mackenzie Arnold and Steph Catley were also in attendance, while the recently retired Lydia Williams also posed for photos in a glamorous red and white dress.

The couple smiled from ear to ear as they tied the knot in a ceremony at a vineyard in Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
Several of Van Egmond's teammates were present, including Sam Kerr (second from left), who posed for snaps alongside teammate Kristie Mewis (left). Arsenal star Katie McCabe (second from right) and Caitlin Foord (right) joined the pair for a photo.
Hayley Raso, who recently signed a two-year deal to join Tottenham, stunned in a flowy blue dress, while fellow Matildas stars Alanna Kennedy and Steph Catley were also all smiles as they celebrated the happy couple.
Kerr was also seen alongside her father, Roger, who had flown in from Perth to mark the occasion.
The Krinklewood estate is located just two hours and thirty minutes from Sydney and sits on 150 acres of land nestled among the Brokenback mountain range.
The venue offers a stunning venue for weddings and events, with Van Egmond and Thompson's party dazzling as the sun shone down on them on Friday.
Wedding guests can get married in the venue's courtyard, in the fountain garden, on the residence's balcony or on the stepped lawn, which overlooks the mountain range surrounding the vineyard.
Van Egmond popped the question to Thompson in June of last year, posting the happy news on Instagram with a series of stunning photos of the happy couple near the beach in San Diego, California.
She was joined by other stars including Sam Kerr, her pregnant fiancee Kristie Mewis, Mackenzie Arnold, Hayley Raso, Caitlin Foord, Alanna Kennedy, Clare Polkinghorne, Lydia Williams and Steph Catley for the ceremony in the picturesque Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
Chelsea striker Kerr, 31, and West Ham midfielder Mewis, originally from the United States, flew in from Perth, where they had been spending time with the Matildas captain's family over the Christmas period.
On the flight to Australia, Kerr was wearing a black compression sleeve on her right leg to treat her ACL injury, but was seen in Perth having abandoned aid.
Clare Polkinghorne, Foord, Mackenzie Arnold, Steph Catley, Lydia Williams and Hayley Raso (LR) also dazzled as they posed for photographs at the venue.
Kerr was also pictured enjoying the day alongside her father, Roger, as the Chelsea star wore a black tuxedo, tie and shorts.
American star Kristie Mewis wore a stunning blue and white dress and was seen holding her baby bump with the West Ham star and her partner Kerr, announcing they were expecting a baby earlier this year.
Kerr will be sidelined until February or March 2025, with the Chelsea star currently recovering from an ACL injury.
Steph Catley, who signed a new contract to stay at Arsenal in September, smiled as she dazzled in an elegant gold dress.
Arnold, who left West Ham to join US club Portland Thorns earlier this year, was wearing a brown vest and trousers.
The search for the next Matildas coach could extend beyond the February international window as Football Australia is determined to take its time to appoint the right long-term candidate.
Former mentor Tony Gustavsson departed in August and interim coach Tom Sermanni has coached the Matildas in six friendlies since his appointment in September.
That interim reign could continue until February's SheBelieves Cup and beyond, as the FA considers candidates for the next four-year cycle.
The coach needs to lead Australia in the 2026 Asian Cup at home and qualify and compete in the 2027 Women's World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.
But Johnson noted there were still six women's international windows in 2025, plus two before the 2026 Asian Cup to prepare for.
“The hard deadline is as soon as possible, and as soon as possible means finding the right person,” Johnson told AAP.
'So we have a window in February and then a window in April. I hope we've at least confirmed who our coach is in one of those two windows, I hope.
'But again, I don't want to set strict deadlines because the priority is getting the right person, and the right person is important, right?
McCabe and Foord went public with their relationship earlier this year and announced they were a couple on Instagram.
Mannchester City and Australia star Alanna Kennedy (right) was also seen smiling while wearing a green top and black pants.
Van Egmond popped the question to Thompson in June last year, and the couple initially met in 2022.
'Now we have this monster called Matildas – expectations are high.
'We have a women's Asian Cup at home and the expectation of the community, as it should be, is that we win that tournament.
'So we're playing the long game on this one. And it's about getting the right person, not how quickly we make the appointment.'
Johnson insists the FA is immersed in the recruitment process, including interviews and assessments, as it searches for the right candidate.
“We've looked under every rock,” he said.
'We have searched locally. We have searched globally.
'We have looked at many potential candidates for that position, but we have narrowed them down and are focused on getting the person who we believe will best serve the team.
“We are not there yet, but we are certainly getting closer to that point and we will make the appointment in 2025 as soon as we can.”
'We have made hundreds of screenings. And rest assured, we have spoken to the right people and will continue to do so.”
The FA appears to have entered the market at an awkward time, with many club and national team coaches already hired.
It is understood that Thompson and Van Egmond met in 2022 and announced that they were publicly dating on Valentine's Day 2023.
Before today's ceremony, Thompson and Van Egmond had hosted their guests at the Enzo Cafe in the Hunter Valley for drinks and breakfast.
Van Egmond smiled as he posed for a photo with Kerr Friday morning before the ceremony.
“All the best coaches are hired for long periods in the best national teams and clubs in the world,” Johnson said.
“And if you want to find the right person, there will be some restrictions.”
There is no preference for an Australian or overseas coach, and Johnson is focused on getting the right, “tactically astute” and successful mentor who can bring out the best in the Matildas.
“We're in a local but global sport and since I've been here, we've recruited Australian and overseas coaches,” Johnson said.
The FA has consulted with senior players throughout the process.
“The message has been loud and clear,” Johnson said.
“Just get the right person, get the best person.”
