The groom looked smitten with his new bride. Michael sported a dapper ivory suit jacket and a beaming smile for the big day.

Anna's bridesmaids wore a soft blue gown to perfectly complement the bride.

Fans finally got a glimpse into Anna and Michael's lavish celebration with photos posted to Instagram under the witty hashtag #annagetsstapled.

Anna previously revealed on her podcast Where's Your Head At? that she and Michael had already secretly married in Australia prior to their Greek wedding.

"Do I want to share this secret?" she pondered to co-star Matt Zukowski.

"Our wedding that we just had yesterday [in Greece] was not a legal ceremony. It's our wedding day for us and in our eyes the day we got married," she said.

In an interview with 9Entertainment earlier this year, Anna said a destination wedding was what she'd always hoped for – but that didn't mean planning was easy.

"I've always dreamed of having a destination wedding so feeling like those dreams are about to become a reality is just so exciting," she said at the time.

"But, I'll be honest, it wasn't all as easy as I thought it would be; I think you don't really realise how much time and energy planning a wedding takes until you start the whole process – and having it overseas adds a whole other layer.

"You have to do so much research and put your faith in people on the other side of the world, it can be quite daunting at times."

Anna said this was the most challenging part; she and Michael hadn't even visited their venue before they booked it.

"Not being able to visit obviously makes it tricky too, because you have to rely on what the internet tells you. We booked our venue site unseen and it was so exciting but also a bit terrifying at the same time!"

Anna said she and Michael had tried to stick to a guest list of 50 people, but that blew out to 80 after everyone RSVP'd 'yes' despite the distance.

The couple have been together since September 2021, and in a previous Instagram Q&A Anna revealed how the pair met and who made the first move.

"We met at a Channel 9 event, I went up to Michael and introduced myself," she told followers.

"He's my best friend! I feel safe with him! His emotional intelligence and support make me feel confidence to do life with him."
