Aussie stars touch down in New York for Andy Lee and Bec Harding’s rumoured wedding
Some of the biggest names in Aussie TV and radio have started to arrive in New York City as comedian Andy Lee prepares to marry fiancée Rebecca Harding.
The Hundred host, 45, and Harding, 36, are rumoured to be days away from tying the knot in New York where the couple and their close friends have been spotted.

Lee and bride-to-be Harding were spotted strolling the streets of the Big Apple on Monday looking loved up in chic bridal-inspired outfits.
The groom stepped out in a three-piece beige suit and suede loafers while Harding wrapped her arm around Lee wearing head-to-toe white with sparkling butterfly white heels.
While details of their nuptials have been kept secret so far, the soon-to-be newlyweds were reportedly leaving their welcome party.
Lee’s best mate and confirmed groomsman Hamish Blake with wife Zoë Foster Blake have also arrived for what’s believed to be the star-studded wedding celebrations.
Blake and his wife were spotted on Wednesday morning looking much more casual.
The LEGO Masters host, 44, wrote a baggy white tee with a beige jacket and khaki trousers.
The Go-To founder, 46, was seen touching up her lip gloss while wearing black trousers and a bright yellow polka-dot jacket.

Lee has confirmed he’ll have three groomsmen, including Blake, his brother Cam Lee and long-time friend Michael “Horgs” Hogan.
It’s suspected Harding’s sister, Poppy Harding, will be a bridesmaid.
On Sunday, Hogan was seen running late to his flight with Lee joking he “nearly had to replace a groomsman”.

In a video posted to his Instagram story, funny-man Lee asked a Qantas gate attendant to “page” his friend over the speakers.
Once Hogan made the flight, Australian cricketer Dan Christian was snapped enjoying “sky beers” on their groom’s private flight.

New York holds a special place in the hearts of Lee and Harding with the couple returning yearly. The city is also home to Lee’s Aussie themed Old Mates pub.
The pub was founded by Andy and is backed by some pretty notable Aussies including Blake, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins, basketballer Patty Mills, surfer legend Mick Fanning and Aussie showman Hugh Jackman – who, you never know, might make a wedding appearance!

Leading up to the day, Lee and Blake have teased plenty of clues (and red herrings) as they prepared for the wedding.
This includes quite the unique rehearsal filmed for the Hamish & Andy podcast.

Speaking to nine.com.au in June about their upcoming nuptials, Harding revealed the pair are going for a “fairly traditional” vibe, but also want it to feel like a “big, fun party”.
Lee confirmed the couple plan to have a small and intimate wedding, with just 80 guests in attendance. Official invites were sent out over the break last Christmas.

Harding also gave a hint about her bridal look, teasing it will be traditional.
“My personal style is much the same, so I imagine my bridal look will follow suit,” she revealed.
The soon-to-be newlyweds, who are building their “dream home”, announced their engagement in 2024, getting engaged after a milestone ten years together.
