The outdoor ceremony was followed by a lavish four-course meal in the sprawling gardens of the hotel.

The speeches were beamed onto a giant screen and following the dinner guests were treated to a spectacula­r fireworks display.

The bride wore a simple yet elegant white gown and her bridesmaid­s were dressed in blush pink dresses. Wedding festivitie­s continued over the weekend, with a laid-back party by the swimming pool and some of the rugby players going snorkellin­g in nearby caves.
