Sports presenter Lee Furlong marries cricket star Shane Watson

Australia’s golden couple of sport married in a low-key but star- studded ceremony last week.

Stunning Fox Sports presenter Lee Furlong married her cricket hero fiancé Shane Watson at the luxurious, John Singleton-owned Bells at Killcare hotel, on the NSW Central Coast.

The gorgeous couple’s strong family bonds were evident on their special day, with Shane’s father, Bob, as best man and Lee’s mother, Vicki, as bridesmaid.

Tears welled in the pair’s eyes as they exchanged self-penned vows, both declaring to be “partners in crime until the end of time”.

Lee, 24, and Shane, 28, had planned a garden ceremony, but torrential rain forced the wedding party to move indoors.

“It was just too wet,” explains a guest. “They really wanted everyone to enjoy the stunning views, but the grounds were so soaking … they had no choice.”

But Lee, who hosts Fox 8’s Football Superstar, told Woman’s Day she was “very happy with the day”.
