The couple had a small ceremony, after postponing their destination wedding that was to take place in Hawaii last year – which they had already finished planning when the pandemic hit.
‘We were going to have it where Jurassic Park was filmed and we did it all within five days of being in Hawaii,’ the footy star told the Herald Sun last year.

Sharni told the Herald Sun last year: ‘We rescheduled the wedding for November back in April and we postponed again to a New Year’s Day wedding in Melbourne. We decided to be real adults and we pulled the trigger and bought a house.’
She added: The amount of people who have said to us, ‘we wish we bought a house instead of blowing it on a wedding’, is pretty amazing. It’s a silver lining.’
Star: Sharni is a Collingwood AFLW player and former netball player
