AFL star Lachie Whitfield marries Adelle Beckwith in stunning Mornington Peninsula ceremony

GWS Giants defender Lachie Whitfield has married Adelle Beckwith.

The AFL star, 30, married his glamorous businesswoman partner in the Mornington Peninsula over the weekend.

The lavish ceremony saw the pair get hitched in luxury at the Jackalope Hotel about an hour and half drive from Melbourne.

Lachie looked dashing in a classic black and white suit with a black tie and white carnation in his suit pocket.

Meanwhile, Adelle stunned in an elegant silk wedding gown that bared her bronzed shoulders.

For the reception, the blushing bride switched to a less elaborate outfit, but maintained an air of sophistication with the lacy sleeves and a short satin skirt.

In one candid moment captured by their friends and posted to Instagram, Lachie bent down to plant a kiss on his bride while she sat on some stairs.

Other guests gave a sneak peek at the opulent candlelit dinner, as well as the chic wedding cake they served up for occasion.

It comes as Lachie was recently embroiled in a comedic skit controversy that saw his club fine him $5000 after an AFL investigation earlier this month.

Lachie was one of thirteen players handed penalties for the infamous Wacky Wednesday celebrations that featured offensive skits, with an anonymous source complaining to the AFL.

Lachie and his teammate Connor Idun ‘enacted a scene from the movie Django Unchained characterising slavery’ in a skit for the notorious post-season party.

Josh Fahey (four game suspension) dressed as former NRL player Jarryd Hayne and Jake Riccardi (two match suspension) as a taxi driver.

In the course of the skit, Fahey simulated inappropriate acts on a sex doll. Riccardi was not involved in that part of the skit.

Harvey Thomas (two match suspension) dressed as a professional sportsman believed to be Josh Giddey and Joe Fonti (two match suspension) as a girl, acting inappropriately during their skit.

Toby McMullin (two match suspension) and Cooper Hamilton (two-match suspension) simulated the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre.

Additionally, club leaders Toby Greene, Sam Taylor, Tom Green and Harry Perryman were fined $5,000 each for not displaying ‘appropriate levels of leadership’ in their failure to stop the acts continuing.

It is also understood there was a skit involving American music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs who is being investigated for sex trafficking and assault. 

The club has reported that it will provide further education for the entire playing group, in addition to the already mandatory education sessions in relation to violence against women, and racial and religious vilification.
