Singer-songwriter and former rugby player Pete Murray has wed his long-time sweetheart Amanda Coutts in a low-key ceremony near Byron Bay.
The ceremony took place in the tiny hinterland village of Eureka over the weekend, with the couple leaving the church hippie-style in an old-fashioned kombi van. The van made a cameo appearance on the cover of Murray breakthrough album, 'Feeler'.It was Coutts who originally encouraged Murray to take the leap into the singer-songwriter spotlight after a succession of major injuries forced him to end his promising rugby career.
Guests reported that the Elvis classic 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You' serenaded the couple as they left the Eureka Uniting Church, with hymns during the 45-minute ceremony including 'Morning Has Broken' and 'Glory, Glory Hallelujah'.
The couple have a two-year old son, Charlie, who regularly travels with his parents while Murray tours.
