Gorry and Markstedt got engaged back in 2023 having first met while they were both playing for Sweedish team Vittsjo GIK back in 2022
They held hands as they walked down the aisle and saluted their wedding guests by each holding up their bouquets.
The couple, who have two children between them, Harper and Koby, got engaged back in 2023 ahead of the Women’s World Cup, during a romantic getaway to Sweden.
The Australia midfielder, who has 114 appearances for Australia and is currently playing for West Ham in the Women’s Super League, announced the news on Instagram, posting a picture of herself and Markstedt, holding hands with their engagement rings.
‘The best love stories never end. YES,’ the Australian superstar wrote on Instagram.
Markstedt, 35, hung up her boots in 2023, after a distinguished career playing for several teams in Europe, including Sweedish side Vittsjo GIK.
It was here that the pair would meet, with Gorry joining up with Vittsjo for the 2022-23 season.
Markstedt had helped her find a place to live in Sweden and it was here that their romance began.
The happy couple have since spoken out on their big day, telling New Idea that Hamilton Island holds a special place in their hearts.

‘When Clara and I were up here in 2022, we joked we’d get married here,’ Gorry told New Idea.
‘But now it’s all come to life… It’s incredibly special. Hamilton is a special place for me and the family. It’s a part of Australia that I like to go to when I want to get away. It’s just absolutely beautiful, and it’s in our backyard.’
The pair danced to Swedish singer Victor Leksell’s ‘Svag’ during the evening celebrations, a song that the pair would sing together in the car when they first met.
Their daughter Harper also had some important duties on the day as the couple’s flower girl.
The pair went dress shopping together, but hilariously nearly picked the same dress!
‘I hate dress shopping, you don’t find me in dresses very often,’ Gorry said.
‘But our dresses are very much ‘us’ … as soon as I walked into the store, I picked mine out straight away, which was something I never thought would happen.’
However, Markstedt added: ‘The first dress I touched and was like “Oh my gosh!” … Katrina was like: “Don’t touch that! I’ve already eyed it out!”‘
The pair will spend the next few days relaxing and enjoying the celebrations with family and friends on Hamilton Island.
