Every single glorious photo from Laura Byrne and Matty J's wedding.

Laura Byrne and Matty 'J' Johnson are officially husband and wife! 

Three and a half years after their engagement and following several postponements, the couple finally tied the knot on Friday, November 11. 

The wedding took place on the South Coast in New South Wales at Cupitt's Estate in Ulladulla.

Laura wore Kyha Studios, while Matty J wore M.J. Bale, and both of their wedding bands were custom-made by Laura. For the reception, Laura changed into a white corset top and gold sequin pants.

The couple were surrounded by their daughters, dog Buster, family and friends, including Laura's Life Uncut co-host Brittany Hockley.

"When I first saw you I thought, 'Holy sh*t, there she is'," Matty J said in his vows, in a video obtained by the Daily Mail.

"I was determined to get you pregnant as soon as possible and, as luck would have it, you felt the same way.

"The only issue was there was a reality TV show in the way and 24 women I had to work my way through at the same time."

As a subtle nod to their first meeting on the 2017 season of The Bachelor, Laura arrived at the wedding in a Chrysler stretch limo - the car used on the first episode of the reality show.

"There was a lack of options when it came to vehicles," Matty J told Yahoo Lifestyle earlier in the week.

"So then I was like, look, there's going to be you plus the kids plus your bridal party plus your mum and dad. Just a limo, like a Chrysler stretch limo, seems like the obvious choice. It means everyone's together, you can do it in one trip, and there was one available.

"So it's like the same type of limo that you'd see on The Bachelor where our love story began. It's that same vehicle that will drop Laura off along with her bridal party at the venue."

It was a perfect day for a wedding. And it was all captured beautifully by Alex Marks Photography.

The couple has since revealed their favourite parts of the day.

"I think it was when the girls walked down the aisle. Seeing Marlie and Lola, their dresses were so beautiful. I’ve never seen both girls look so angelic before. Then to see Laura ... I was so excited to see her dress and it was just so beautiful," Matty told Who Magazine.

"For me, the ceremony itself was a huge highlight. It was so fun, we laughed and cried our way through it. My best friend Kiah Van Hoeke was our celebrant and that was really special, too," Laura said.

They also explained that Hockley served as a witness on the day, signing their marriage certificate for them.

In October, Matty J celebrated his buck's party on Sydney harbour and canoeing with his mates and Australian Olympic champion Jess Fox.

While Laura spent the weekend away earlier that month for her hen's party with girlfriends, celebrating with cut-outs of her soon-to-be husband's head.

The couple, who fell in love on the fifth season of The Bachelor, got engaged in April 2019 and have two daughters.

Their first, Marlie-Mae, was born in June 2019, and their second, Lola, in February 2021.

Congratulations to the Johnson family!
