Wayde and Chesney tied the knot in October 2017. Chesney shared pictures from their big day on their one-year wedding anniversary. 

"I’ve never been the girl who dreamt and planned her wedding since she was 10 years old & Wayde kinda just told me that I can do whatever I want to, as long as he can pick his own suit," she said. 

Chesney described their wedding as the "biggest party ever".

The couple has a lot to celebrate these days. Wayde is heading to the Tokyo Games to defend his 400m Olympic title.
