The star’s big day was all she’d dreamed of – traditional, elegant, intimate – and shared with her “perfect partner” Stuart Webb.
The dappled, golden sunlight streams through the massive glass windows, catching the tears gently pooling in Kate Ritchie’s eyes as she gazes at the man she adores, former professional rugby league player Stuart Webb.
With a nervous tremble in her voice, the little girl Australia watched grow up as Sally from Home And Away inhales deeply and whispers “I do”, sealing her fate with her “perfect partner” in an emotional, fairytale wedding ceremony.
Stuart, clearly overwhelmed by his stunning bride, then slips a wedding band on Kate’s finger to join the giant, cushion-cut diamond engagement ring by Sydney-based jeweller Percy Marks, and the congregation erupts in spontaneous and heartfelt applause.
The scene is a high point in a day filled with unforgettable moments, and one that Kate spent months ensuring was exactly the way she’d dreamed it would be from the time she was a little girl playing at being a bride.
From the setting – the picturesque historic town of Hagley near Launceston in Tasmania – to the venue, the 1828 homestead Quamby Estate, down to the carefully chosen guest list, food and flowers, it was Kate’s day in every way – warm, unpretentious, elegant and, most of all, extremely private.
