The cast of the popular sitcom reunite as Julie McGregor weds her long-time love. Glen Williams reports exclusively for Woman’s Day.
Julie McGregor’s wedding was never going to be conventional. The 61-year-old actress who convinced Australians she was a clueless secretary named Betty from Walgett on the Aussie sitcom Hey Dad..! wouldn’t be caught dead in a white tulle meringue.
Instead, she is elegant in a soft-green Chantilly lace jacket, holding a bouquet of … green roses.
As her fiancé, artist Adam McFarlane, 44, bounds into the room with the rings he helped design with jeweller Peter Gordon, Julie can’t stop smiling. And the wedding rings? Adam left the diamonds for Julie, saying, I want meteorite for mine! “When I heard the word meteorite I instantly thought ‘That’s me’,” laughs Adam.
“When I was 18, I fell three storeys onto a concrete floor and ever since I’ve thought, ‘I’m a meteorite.’ Thank God I survived, otherwise I wouldn’t have met Julie.”
Julie and Adam have been together 15 years and only now are choosing to wed. “Adam is younger than me, but that age difference just disappeared because he actually seemed a lot older,” Julie laughs.
