Former Newcastle Knights player, Alex McKinnon and his long-time girlfriend, Teigan Power have tied the knot during an emotional ceremony at Pokolbin.
25-year-old Alex fulfilled a promise to rise from his wheel chair on their wedding day, standing to his feet as Teigan joined him at the altar.
Alex's promising NRL career was cut short when he suffered a devastating spinal cord injury during a game against Melbourne in 2014.
Despite the injury leaving him wheelchair-bound, Alex set himself a goal of walking Teigan down the aisle, but later admitted such a feat would be impossible, promising instead to rise to his feet when she joined him at the altar.
More than 150 guests, including some of the NRL's biggest names, attended the ceremony.
Brisbane Broncos skipper, Darius Boyd was Alex's best man.
