Jesinta Franklin reveals struggle to get married to Buddy: 'It was extremely hard'
Jesinta Franklin deserves major props. She managed to pull off one of the Aussie celebrity weddings of the year last November without the press or anybody outside of invited guests knowing about it.
How Beyonce of her!
But planning her secret Blue Mountains nuptials with all the stealth that Queen Bey puts into releasing new albums was as difficult as it sounds.
Jesinta, 25, revealed just how tough it was for her and Buddy to make it to the altar in private in a new interview with the The Sydney Morning Herald.
"[It was] extremely hard," the model told SMH's Date with Kate Waterhouse column. "Especially because I worked nearly every day in the month leading up to the wedding. I was so excited and had to contain it all."
But why all the secrecy? Why not let all of her fans in on the excitement?
"So much of our lives are so public, so it was important to us to have that one day just to ourselves without the stress of the media being involved," she added.
While they said "I do" far from the "stressful and intrusive" paparazzi, Jesinta and Buddy, 29, were more forthcoming about their Gold Coast honeymoon. The newlyweds regularly shared location pics on Instagram. (See the slideshow below.)
"We just enjoyed each other's company," Jesinta said of their post-wedding getaway. "We didn't need or do anything fancy; just being with each other was enough."
And it seems like Jesinta, who dropped her Campbell surname and took her husband's after marrying him, is still basking in the newlywed glow.
"He is extremely generous," she said of Buddy, "and not a day goes by that he does not make me laugh."
