“I am in awe of how amazing people are thank you to Maddi, Lucy, Jazz, and everyone who gave their time to make this elopement a very extra special one.”
Jai, 30, ended his professional rugby league career in May after he revealed he had gone through months of testing and treatment for MND.
He has since received a swell of support from the NRL community, including the competition announcing it will throw him the “world’s biggest birthday party” on July 12 as the main event of a series of fundraisers to support him as he navigates the disease.
Last month, Jai rung the South Sydney legacy bell before his former clubs the Rabbitohs and Broncos played in a fundraiser match.
South Sydney wore all-white jerseys with “Arrow” printed on the back, while Brisbane’s had his heritage number “222″ stitched in.
Jai, Berina and their daughter Ayla were also seen at the AFL’s Big Freeze event, which helps to raise money for the FightMND charity.
Arrow played 178 NRL games after his 2016 debut and represented Queensland 12 times in State of Origin.
