A surprise beach ceremony before a whirlwind honeymoon – Erin Craven reports on the wedding we’ve all been wishing for.
Just hours before funnyman Rove McManus vowed to spend the rest of his life with Tasma Walton, the happy groom couldn’t contain his excitement at the prospect of becoming a dad.
“Baby races! You little beauty” he responded on networking site Twitter to his friend Meshel Laurie’s own pregnancy news – sparking talk that there may have been more behind his surprise nuptials than a simple desire for privacy.
Questions over whether it was a shotgun wedding were asked after if it was revealed that Tasma – who recently said “more and more, the idea of having a child appeals” – was the one to pop the question.
But last week, it was all about the happy couple. And in a move that has spurred an outpouring of warm wishes for the popular presenter, Rove and Tasma took part in a small, intimate ceremony that surprised even some of their inner circle.
Just 20 close friends and family members, including Rove’s best mate and business partner Craig Campbell, watched as the pair exchanged vows on a private beach in Broome.
In a refreshing break from tradition, Tasma proposed to Rove after first seeking the blessing of his mother Coralie.
With such a busy schedule – at the time of press, Rove was due back at work for his show on Sunday night – the couple weren’t able to take more than a quick break afterwards. They reportedly flew from Broome to the ultra-exclusive outback El Questro Homestead in the Kimberleys for a whirlwind three-day honeymoon.
