The Wiggles stars Emma Watkins and Lachy Gillespie tied the knot on Saturday in a fairy tale wedding in the NSW Southern Highlands.

Emma, 26, looked divine in a long-sleeved ivory lace couture gown custom-made by Suzanne Haward while husband Lachy Gillespie, 29, chose a suit with Scottish detailing.

Emma shared a snap of the big day on her Facebook page, with the caption: “Lachy. Love. Laughter. The best day of my life.”

While Lachy wrote: “Seeing Emma was the most magical moment of my life. Everything else just seemed to melt away.”

The wedding was held at Bowral’s Hopewood House and was attended by 200 guests, including the other half of the popular children’s band, Simon Pryce and Anthony Field, who even played the bagpipes during the ceremony.

Two other original Wiggles, Murray Cook, 55, and Jeff Fatt, 62, were also in attendance. Greg Page was the only one absent, due to a “prior commitment”.

It was a rather Wiggly affair all round, in fact, with the couple’s rings featuring Emma’s signature Wiggles bow engraved on them and the cake featuring their Wiggles skivvy colours.

The couple announced their engagement last May.
