Anthony Bell and Annika Martyn were married near Noosa on Saturday.

The celebrity accountant and ex-cricket WAG were joined at the celebration by a string of high-profile guests.

Today host Karl Stefanovic and wife Jasmine were in attendance, as were her sister Jade, Richard Wilkins, newlyweds Sam and Lucy Burgess, as well as Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur and wife Sylvie.

‘The lady. So great. Our celebrant was off the charts.”

The wedding took place at Yandina Station on the Sunshine Coast.

The working cattle farm is a luxury estate set on a 14 hectare estate, with panoramic views of Mt Coolum.

Anika and Anthony said “I do” on the estate grounds and hosted their celebrity guests for their wedding reception in the historic Dairy Barn, which they decorated with fairy lights, white roses and white place settings.

“It was a beautiful ceremony and reception,” one guest told the Daily Telegraph. “You really felt the love in the room.”

The couple confirmed their engagement in May, after making their first public performance on Derby Day Melbourne in November last year.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the star-studded event, Bell said of his new romance: ‘We’ve been running around together for a few months… [Derby Day] is our first public outing. That’s great, we’ve chosen a nice, quiet event.’

Rumors about the couple’s relationship emerged in September 2023 after Annika shared several snaps enjoying time on Bell’s superyacht in the south of France.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Annika is the director of Goop Gang, a weight-loss program for women.

She was married to former cricketer Damien Martyn for five years after tying the knot in 2006, but they split in 2011.
