It was a double celebration on Saturday for ex-Protea captain Graeme Smith.
The retired national cricketer said I do to Romy Lanfranchi on the same day the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Graeme, 38, and Romy got engaged in October last year.
The bride looked stunning in a white mermaid-style boob tube lace dress, while a dapper Graeme was uitgevat in a dark suit and light pink tie.
Both shared their joy on Instagram, with Romy, a lawyer, expressing her thanks to everyone who helped make their special day awesome.
She wrote: “I am not often at a loss for words, but today I am. There are no words to describe our special day.
“To say everything exceeded all our expectations is an understatement... My cup runneth over. That is all ...”, with a heart emoji.
On Monday the groom tweeted a picture from his wedding, captioned: “2 November was an incredible day!! #wedding #love #beloftebos #family #friends #blendedfamily #celebrations.” He added a wedding ring emoji.

This is a second marriage for both of them and they now have a blended family, with five kids between them.
Graeme has children Cadence, seven, and Carter, six, with his first wife, Irish singer Morgan Deane. They split in 2017 after being married for six years.
Romy has two sons with her late husband, Michel Lanfranchi. In December 2016, Romy gave birth to her and Graeme’s son.
She told YOU magazine in 2016 that they were introduced by mutual friends after his separation from Morgan.
She said: “He’s a steadfast person. He’s a solid man and we have the same values and interests.”
