Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt married soap babe Bec Cartwright in a lavish ceremony at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday.
The former Wimbledon champion wed the pregnant Home and Away star after a whirlwind romance of barely seven months.
Hewitt proposed to Cartwright, who plays Hayley in the Aussie soap, just after losing the Australian Open final in January - and that was only six weeks after they had first got together.
The couple have bought a home together on a beach near Sydney and their first child is due later this year.
180 guests attended the wedding service and the pair were driven directly into a car park beneath the venue to avoid fans and photographers waiting outside.
They later took a cruise across Sydney harbour before their reception in the city's Taronga Park Zoo.
