During a private ceremony at Sydney’s Centennial Park, Luke Jacobz and his American wife appeared to be head over heels in love.
Earlier this month, the former Home and Away star, 42, and his American love, Raychel Stuart, 35, exchanged vows in front of family and friends in a forest setting.
In a tightly fitted wedding gown with a thigh-high split and a plunging neckline, Raychel looked gorgeous.

Raychel created the floral arrangements herself and carried a bouquet of regional flowers as an added personal touch.
