Victoria Fren says her new husband Nathan Moran's late grandfather Barry who sadly passed away a week before their wedding "was definitely looking down on us" given the unseasonably sunny skies and "perfect" weather the couple enjoyed on their special day at the picturesque Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat in the NSW Southern Highlands on May 6.
Along a winding path, into an ancient rock cathedral shaded by gum trees, the 29-year-old bride made her way down the aisle on the arm of her father Mark Fren, who was overcome with emotion.
"When I saw Victoria, I was bawling my eyes out. I just couldn't stop," Mark tells Woman's Day. "I didn't know whether it was because I saw my little girl was getting married, she was all grown up, or I was thinking of my bank account!"
The star of the day was less-than-impressed at her dad's show of emotion, though. "It actually p***ed me off," Victoria joked to Woman's Day. "Everyone was looking at him instead of looking at me. It's about me!"
VOW OF LAUGHTER
The family's signature humour was evident in the couple's vows, too. While groom Nathan, 30, revealed his relief that the big day had finally come around so he could ditch the "man shakes", Victoria promised to continue bringing back duty-free alcohol for her new husband from her trips overseas with her famous family for Nine's Travel Guides.
The groom's Aboriginal heritage was also celebrated, with Nathan's cousin Brenden delivering a moving Acknowledgement of Country and didgeridoo performance during the ceremony. "It was amazing," says Victoria, who explained how the whole day was inspired by Nathan and his family's love of the bush.
