NRL star Dylan Edwards concluded a busy year with a touching milestone – marrying his long-term partner Nadine in a picturesque ceremony on Tuesday.
The Penrith Panthers fullback celebrated his love surrounded by family, friends and his two young daughters.
However, the lead-up to the big day was not without drama.
Just days before the Byron Bay wedding, Edwards underwent shoulder surgery, a procedure he had put off for years to focus on his stellar NRL career.
The operation now allows the 28-year-old to recover in time for Round 1 of the 2025 NRL season in March.
The setback didn’t dull the glow of the couple’s special day, with Nadine looking radiant in a silky, backless white dress.

The dress featured a high halter neckline with a backless design, highlighting her shoulders and giving the look a modern yet minimalist feel.
Her makeup was soft and natural, enhancing her features with a radiant glow.
Despite his recent surgery, Edwards looked like a devoted husband and loving father during the wedding celebrations.
He looked elegant and classic in a well-tailored black tuxedo paired with a crisp white dress shirt and black bow tie.
Her look was completed with a white floral boutonniere, which added a fresh and elegant touch to the formal ensemble.
Nadine looked radiant as she posed with her new husband and daughters in matching white outfits, with floral headpieces for the little ones.
Dylan shared his joy on Instagram and captioned the first photos: “My forever.”

NRL stars were quick to send their congratulations.
Panthers teammate Nathan Cleary commented, “Congratulations bro,” while Mitch Kenny added, “Congratulations bro.” I love you guys.’
Former Panther Stephen Crichton, who married his partner Leone just weeks earlier, also chimed in, saying: “Big love!!”
The couple, who have been together for over a decade, share two daughters, born in 2018 and 2019, who played adorable roles in the wedding festivities.
In 2018, shortly after Nadine gave birth to her first child, the soccer star faced season-ending shoulder surgery.
They welcomed a second daughter in November 2019 and both children participated in the wedding celebrations.
