Australias Abbey Holmes And Keegan Brooksby Get Married At Uluru, Northern Territory
As the sun set over the majestic Uluru in Australia’s Northern Territory, power couple Abbey Holmes and Keegan Brooksby exchanged vows amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Outback. The former AFL Women’s player, Abbey, who rose to internet fame, joined forces with her partner, Keegan, a professional footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club, to create an unforgettable wedding celebration that harmonized perfectly with the desert landscape.
From planning the perfect ceremony amidst the iconic dunes to selecting vendors that shared their vision, every detail of Abbey and Keegan’s special day was infused with their love for each other and the stunning Australian backdrop.
How They Met
In 2017, Abbey’s return to Adelaide for her second year with the Crows collided with Keegan’s farewell to the Gold Coast Suns. It was love at first sight when they met on an epic eight-hour date that exceeded expectations. Initially, they had planned a casual coffee meetup at 3:30 pm, expecting it to last around an hour. However, things took a turn for the better when Keegan suggested they grab dinner next door after watching Jumanji together.
Abbey enthusiastically agreed, and their night continued with an effortless flow. As the date came to a close, Abbey and Keegan had already grown inseparable. Their connection was undeniable, and it marked the beginning of a beautiful love story that would unfold over the years.
Planning The Wedding
Uluru, a sacred site for Abbey and her partner, holds a unique significance as it was the place where they shared their most memorable moment – an engagement on November 8th, 2020. As a proud ‘Friend of Australia’ through Tourism Australia’s ambassador program and founder of Backyard Bandits Australia, Abbey has long been passionate about showcasing the beauty of domestic travel. This passion culminated in Uluru becoming the ultimate destination for their dream wedding.
The ceremony wasn’t just a celebration of love; it was also a testament to the incredible experiences that have shaped Abbey into the charismatic internet personality she is today. Her seven-year journey in the Northern Territory, where she called Darwin home, added an extra layer of depth and meaning to the occasion.
