Canterbury Bulldogs star Max King walked down the aisle with his glamorous model girlfriend Christy Young on Wednesday.
The Bulldogs prop and his new bride, both 25, exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends at Curzon Hall, one of Sydney’s premier wedding and event venues.
Christy looked like a blushing bride in her sleeveless modern design with a structured bodice and full skirt with a thigh-high slit.
The brunette beauty wore her hair parted down the middle on her big day and accessorized her look with statement earrings.
Meanwhile, Max looked dapper in a classic black suit paired with a white shirt and black bow tie.

Christy made a great appearance that day and arrived at her wedding in a white stretch limousine.
She made sure all eyes were on her as she stepped out of the vehicle, showing off her tanned pins before making her way down her very own red carpet.
The stunning bride carried a delicate bouquet of flowers as she entered the venue.
The couple appeared to be in love during the ceremony as they held hands and exchanged moving vows.
At one point, Christy lifted her leg and laughed, much to the amusement of friends and family.
When the couple were pronounced husband and wife, their tender kiss drew cheers from the crowd.
Max and Christy announced their engagement back in February and shared a photo of the moment he got down on one knee.
The couple, both Christians, famously abstained from sex during their engagement.

“We’re so loud and proud about our faith… it’s never been something we’ve shied away from because it’s so important to us,” Christy said on 2DayFM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin show in March.
“We talked about it (remaining celibate) early on…on the first or second date.”
“Christian Dating 101 means not wasting anyone’s time, it’s a conversation we haven’t shied away from and honestly we’ve reaped so much fruit in our relationship in terms of communication… it’s just so good.”
Young laughed as she described how her pastor met King and believes the fact that the couple remain celibate has certainly helped his play on the football field.
“We met in church. I was living on the Gold Coast and he was sitting in front of me…we didn’t talk that day but the pastor brought us together. “If you want a good guy, find him at church,” she laughed.
“When it (sex) isn’t the focus, it’s like we’ve just been able to have such good conversations and grow our relationship and we have such a good support system for each other.”
“It (celibacy) actually helps him because we just have such a good foundation in our relationship.”

The couple attend Glow Church together in Sydney’s south, but Young said she wasn’t always so sure about their blossoming relationship given his profession.

“When I met him I thought, ‘Oh, you’re a football player, red flag, what have I gotten myself into,'” she said.
‘Secure [his teammates are supportive] …but when we started dating, they were like, “Like it’s you guys.” [abstaining from sex].
“The Bible says, ‘Deny the flesh and God will bless you’: and we have borne great fruit from it.”
“I feel so blessed to have met Max…we are the pieces of the puzzle that fit together and it’s all up to God,” said the glamorous model.
King, whose great-grandfather, grandfather and father all played rugby at the highest level, has previously been vocal about his desire to live a good Christian life.
But he felt like he had to hide it originally.
“I had just turned 17 when I finally admitted that I had been leading a double life. My big secret? “I was a secret Christian,” he said in 2018.
“Every Sunday I would get dressed for the gym but drive to church. “When I arrived I would change and then put back into my gym gear before heading home.”
