It was the wedding of the year, the union of Nine Network golden couple Today Show host Sylvia Jeffreys and reporter Peter Stefanovic on Saturday at the gorgeous Kangaroo Valley in NSW.
Such a high-profile event was always going to be a paparazzi target and while they did their best to get a “scoop” on the big day, it was the newly married couple and their wedding guests who managed to one-up them by posting several photos from the day.
They let the paparazzi with their blurry drone pics and distant footage shot from a helicopter.
Guest and fellow Nine reporter Richard Wilkins was at the event and he talked about the buzzing of the paparazzi drone and helicopter during the outdoor ceremony as Jeffreys and Stefanovic exchanged vows.
MMOL talk about weddings from the most expensive to the cheapest so far this year. Post continues…
“We were all standing around there at this sort of lake and the boys were there, all the Stefanovics and all their handsomeness was standing there,” Today Show Entertainment Reporter Richard Wilkins, 62, told Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa this morning.
“And then the bridesmaids came by one by one and then Sylvia walked out with her dad and there were rose petals flying around…the only pain was the drone and the helicopter.”
Wilkins said the wedding was beautiful but the papparazzi got a few things wrong. Firstly, big brother Karl wasn’t the best man as has been widely reported, but Pete’s best mate Michael “Monty” Tramonte from Aussie band The Delta Riggs doing the honours and delivering the speech.

They look very happy together, and it appears to have been a lovely wedding. But I have to ask, am I the only one surprised by the amount of coverage this wedding has had? Not just here, but other news sites, and in the papers (and I'm betting in the mags too). I had only the vaguest idea of who they are, are they really big celebs and I just didn't know about it? I'm not trying to be nasty or anything, I'm just surprised by how many articles I've seen, it's nearly Royal wedding level!
I totally agree! I wouldn't have recognised either of them before Saturday and the level of coverage has reached saturation level. I am also appalled by what was reported as Karl's speech. He is an obnoxious bloke who has lost all credibility with me.
So you know who Karl is but not the other two??
Yeah right.......
I was thinking exactly this!
They look so happy and in love, it's a divine dress and location - but I don't get the fuss. Hardly celebrities... I only clicked here as I saw this comment and had to agree!
my thoughts exactly! and same goes for Karl
