Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding<\/a> have officially tied the knot after 12 years together, surrounded by their loved ones in New York City.<\/p>\n

Harding, 36, was spotted stepping out of a city hotel in a breathtaking satin strapless wedding dress on Tuesday. The gown featured a long, sweeping train that trailed gracefully behind her as she walked. <\/p>\n

Harding\u2019s hair was in a sleek half-up, half down style, and she wore dewy make-up to complement the elegant look.<\/p>\n

In the photos, Harding was flanked by celebrity stylist Elliott Garnaut as she exited the hotel, before heading off to walk down the aisle to meet Lee, 45.<\/p>\n

The nuptials come days after rumours were running rife that the couple were about to tie the knot, with many of their closest friends being spotted in New York City ahead of the speculated big day. <\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s best mate and confirmed groomsman Hamish Blake<\/a> with wife\u00a0Zo\u00eb Foster Blake<\/a> were spotted in the city, as were Lee\u2019s brother Cam Lee and long-time friend and Michael \u201cHorgs\u201d Hogan.<\/p>\n

New York has always held a special place in the hearts of Lee and Harding, with the couple using the destination as a special yearly getaway where it frequently marks relationship milestones. The city is also home to Lee\u2019s Aussie themed Old Mates<\/a> pub in downtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Their love story<\/p>\n

The couple have first met at a Melbourne caf\u00e9 in October 2014, when Lee famously gave Harding his details on a napkin.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald\u2019s Two of Us column in 2022, Lee said he was writing jokes for that year\u2019s Logie Awards when the waitress caught his eye.<\/p>\n

“She was attractive, but it was more her bubbly personality and how she wasn’t good at her job,” he said.<\/p>\n

“She’d leave a table knowing about the person’s grandchildren or dog, but forget their order.<\/p>\n

\"Andy<\/p>\n

Harding has previously said their Welsh Terrier will of course be a part of their wedding.\u00a0Instagram \/ @andytomlee<\/p>\n

“I ordered cups of tea I never drank and eventually left a note on a napkin.”<\/p>\n

But Lee called as soon as she emailed him and the pair soon met again.<\/p>\n

“She told me she was two weeks away from finishing her master’s degree for the year. I said, ‘That’s a Tuesday. I’ll call you on the Saturday and tell you where I’m going to take you,’ and we went out Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday,” he told the SMH.<\/p>\n

For her part, Harding once said during an interview for 60 Minutes that she wasn’t initially interested in Lee.<\/p>\n

“He hadn’t had a girlfriend in a while, he was Cleo Bachelor of the Year, I thought he was a bit of a sleazebag, maybe,” she said.<\/p>\n

The couple went public with their relationship at the Australian Open in January 2015 but after media pressure split briefly in 2016.<\/p>\n

After about six months apart, Lee and Harding rekindled their relationship and appeared arm in arm on the Logie Awards red carpet in April 2017.<\/p>\n

After a decade in the spotlight, a number of homes bought together including a massive renovation project, as well as their beloved pet pooch, fans had been pushing for the pair to tie the knot.<\/p>\n

Their engagement <\/p>\n

Lee and Harding, who are building their \u201cdream home\u201d,\u00a0announced their engagement<\/a>\u00a0in 2024, getting engaged after a milestone ten years together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked Bec to marry me on Sunday,\u201d Lee announced the Hamish & Andy<\/a> podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it a bit quick? That\u2019s all I wanna ask,\u201d Blake joked, before getting serious revealing he and wife Zoe Foster-Blake<\/a> were \u201ccrying\u201d at the news.<\/p>\n

Lee said he took Harding to their “new old house” under the guise they needed to film videos for social media before they start the build.<\/p>\n

While standing in front of the old marble fireplace Lee said he pretended he could see something inside the fireplace and went to take a look before producing a napkin, in a nod to how they met.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was down there, I stayed on one knee and I gave her another napkin \u2014 because when I first met her at the caf\u00e9, I wrote on a napkin my details \u2014 and I gave her another napkin,\u201d Lee said of the romantic proposal.<\/p>\n

The friends spoke to Harding on the show and revealed Lee was forced to delay his proposal unexpectedly after she\u2019d booked their dog, Henrietta, in for a grooming appointment.<\/p>\n

Hours later, the couple showed off the engagement ring in a joint Instagram announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding have officially tied the knot after 12 years together, surrounded by their loved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-630001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
