AFLW star Kate McCarthy was every inch the blushing bride as she married partner Kate Lee on Saturday.
The Channel Seven star and ‘Queen of Triple M footy’, 31, exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at the Post Office Hotel in Melbourne.
The Brisbane Lions player wore a traditional lace gown by popular Australian boutique Grace Loves Lace, while Lee wore a strapless dress by bridal company Milla Nova.
‘We had the most perfect day ever,’ McCarthy told the Herald Sun.
‘Surrounded by our most cherished people long into the night. It couldn’t have been more perfect.’
‘I cried so much when we first got there which I was not expecting considering I am quite used to be in big crowds. Was completely overwhelmed that I was about to marry the most beautiful and perfect person in the world,’ she continued.

The beaming brides married in the gastro pub’s warehouse style Dining Hall venue, which features a large dance floor and a private outdoor garden, surrounded by family and friends.
The couple’s dogs, two mini dachshunds and a greyhound, ‘behaved themselves wonderfully,’ McCarthy continued.
‘Even a once in a lifetime cyclone in Brisbane didn’t stop my family and friends making it down for the day to celebrate. Nor could a few other obstacles. It was simply perfect.’
McCarthy proposed to Lee at Zonzo Estate Yarra Valley winery in 2024.
‘One more sleep until this is surpassed as the best day of my life! I cannot wait to proudly call you my wife,’ she gushed this week, reposting the proposal photos.
Among the guests were McCarthy’s AFL commentator colleagues including Zoe Cutter, Barry Denner, Dale Thomas, and Jack Heverin.
‘Congratulations to the queen of Triple M Footy Kate McCarthy on marrying her Queen Kate Lee. Awesome day/night and we are all so proud of you!’ Heverin captioned a lovely group photo.
‘Triple M rocks the wedding,’ Cutter wrote alongside the same snap of McCathy surrounded by her smiling colleagues.

The Channel Seven star will co-host the Sunday Footy Feast program alongside Jason Richardson and Campbell Brown after she returns from her honeymoon.
In September, she suffered a life-threatening health scare after she collapsed at Melbourne Airport and was rushed to hospital.
McCarthy had been in Melbourne for the AFL Grand Final coverage before she was flown to Brisbane.
But ahead of her arrival back in Melbourne, two days after the Grand Final, Kate began feeling unwell on her flight.
Kate, who played AFLW for Brisbane, St Kilda and Hawthorn, was quickly connected to monitors by paramedics.
It wasn’t long before she went into Ventricular Tachycardia — a life-threatening and fast abnormal heart rhythm — and was rushed to hospital.
McCarthy is now well and enjoying the first days of married life in Bali.
