Former Bachelorette contestant Jackson Garlick has officially tied the knot with his model fiancée Lyndsay Gates in a stunning ceremony at Sydney's Botanic Gardens. The couple exchanged vows two years after their romantic engagement in Mexico.
A Picture-Perfect Sydney Ceremony
The 31-year-old reality television star, who appeared on Angie Kent's season of The Bachelorette in 2019, couldn't contain his happiness as he waited at the altar for his bride. On Friday, surrounded by loved ones, the pair became husband and wife in an emotional outdoor ceremony.
Lyndsay made a breathtaking entrance on the arm of her father, embodying classic bridal elegance in a traditional white gown. Her strapless dress featured a corset bodice and voluminous skirt, complemented by simple white pumps and a sheer veil. The blonde beauty wore her golden tresses in soft curls and kept jewellery minimal with a gold bracelet and her diamond engagement band.
Wedding Fashion and Celebrations
Meanwhile, Jackson looked dapper in a white tuxedo with black slacks, grinning ear-to-ear throughout the ceremony. The former rugby player was photographed signing the marriage certificate with his new bride before adorning her wedding finger with a diamond-encrusted gold band designed to match her pear-cut engagement ring.
The couple read their vows against a beautiful outdoor backdrop surrounded by white flowers as friends and family watched on. The wedding party added dramatic contrast to the proceedings, with bridesmaids wearing black gowns in different styles while carrying white bouquets. Their male counterparts opted for classic black tuxedos standing behind the groom.
From Mexican Proposal to Sydney 'I Dos'
The happy couple began their journey to the altar four years into their relationship when Jackson proposed during a family holiday in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in October 2023. The Garlo's Pies sales executive dropped to one knee on a hotel balcony to celebrate his 30th birthday, capturing the moment on video as other holidaymakers cheered from nearby balconies.
Following their ceremony, the newlyweds kicked off a raucous celebration with friends, clearly overjoyed to begin their married life together. The outdoor Sydney setting provided the perfect backdrop for their special day, marking the culmination of their two-year engagement that began on Mexican shores.
