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

The gown 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 operation, Edwards looked every bit the devoted husband and doting father during the wedding celebrations.
He looked polished and classic in a well-tailored black tuxedo paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a black bow tie.
His look was completed with a white floral boutonniere, which added a fresh and elegant touch to the formal ensemble.
Nadine was glowing as she posed with her new husband and their daughters in matching white outfits, complete with floral headpieces for the little ones.
Dylan shared their joy on Instagram, captioning the first photos, ‘My forever.’

NRL stars were quick to send their congratulations.
Panthers teammate Nathan Cleary commented, ‘Congrats my brother,’ while Mitch Kenny added, ‘Congrats brother. Love you guys.’
Former Panther Stephen Crichton, who tied the knot with his partner Leone just weeks earlier, also chimed in, saying, ‘Big Loveee!!’
The couple, who have been together for more than a decade, share two daughters, born in 2018 and 2019, both of whom played adorable roles in the wedding festivities.
Back in 2018, shortly after Nadine gave birth to their first child, the footy star faced a season-ending shoulder surgery.
They welcomed a second daughter in November 2019 and both children were involved in the wedding celebrations.
