Australia’s elite were out in full-force on Saturday night to celebrate high-profile Sydney defamation lawyer Rebekah Giles officially locking in her ‘happily ever after’ with Melbourne property developer Tim Price.
Giles tied the knot in a spectacular, star-studded black-tie affair inside the iconic Sydney Opera House, with a star-studded crowd including power couple Karl, 51, and Jasmine Stefanovic, 42, and champion boxer Harry Garside, 28.
Following last month’s legendary, champagne-soaked ’90s Hong Kong glamour-themed hen’s night at Lady Chu, Sydney’s elite were seen laughing it up as they celebrated the exclusive wedding in top-notch style.
True to form, the guest list read like an eclectic, glittering Who’s Who of Australian law, media, sport, and high society, with the festivities including fine dining and a live classical music troupe.
But despite the ultra-exclusive, sophisticated setting, the high-powered crowd proved they certainly know how to let their hair down – with Today host Karl Stefanovic leading the charge.
In a hilarious social media snap shared by the groom, Karl could be seen pulling off the ultimate wedding photobomb.

As the newly married couple stood arm-in-arm looking out at a stunning, floodlit view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from inside the venue, a beaming Karl crouched down in the foreground, flashing a cheeky double thumbs-up to the camera.
The bride looked absolutely spectacular from the back, her elegant white gown paired with a massive, structured white bow resting at the top of a long, beautifully braided ponytail interwoven with delicate white flowers.
Meanwhile, the groom looked equally sharp, opting for a classic white dinner jacket.
The star-studded media and society elite were out in full force to support the couple, who first met after being introduced by their mutual friend Brae Sokolski and welcomed a child together in 2020.
Elsewhere at the event, Karl’s stylish wife Jasmine looked sensational in a sleek, floor-length black gown by designer Rachel Gilbert.
The sophisticated dress featured elegant long sleeves, a high neckline, and a daring thigh-high split heavily embellished with shimmering crystal beadwork.
Other pictures captured a tuxedo-clad Karl being all smiles as he posed alongside his stunning wife against the backdrop of the glittering Sydney skyline and the Opera House’s dramatic geometric glass windows.
Also letting his hair down was famous Australian Olympic boxer Harry Garside, whom Giles successfully represented in 2023.

The bash is the first leg of the couple’s marathon wedding celebrations. Having successfully managed to juggle their high-powered careers and family life, the newlyweds are reportedly packing their bags and decamping to Europe for a second round of nuptials

Garside seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the glamorous festivities, posing for a broad-grinned, arm-in-arm photo with a tuxedoed Karl Stefanovic.
However, the overwhelming romance of the evening might have got to the single athlete.
Posting a mirror selfie on his Instagram while holding a glass of champagne on a purple-carpeted staircase, Garside cheekily captioned the snap: ‘Weddings make you want to just marry someone and run away into the hills never to be disturbed again.’
The spectacular Opera House bash is only the first leg of the couple’s marathon wedding celebrations.
Having successfully managed to juggle their high-powered careers and family life between Sydney and Melbourne, the newlyweds are reportedly packing their bags and decamping to Europe for a second round of nuptials.
While her best friend Taryn Williams previously joked at the hen’s night that Bek’s previous two husbands were merely part of an ‘extended audition process,’ friends say Saturday’s stunning celebration proved that Tim Price has officially won out.
