Usman Khawaja marries Rachel McLellan at Maleny Manor

AUSTRALIAN test cricketer Usman Khawaja married partner Rachel McLellan in a lavish Sunshine Coast ceremony on Friday.


The couple, who became engaged in 2016 during a romantic holiday to New York, tied the knot at the picturesque Maleny Manor after Khawaja made a hasty return to Australia from the trouble-plagued tour of South Africa, which saw David Warner, Steve Smith, Cameron Bancroft cop bans following the ball tampering scandal.

Queensland and Brisbane Heat bowler Ben Cutting stood by Khawaja’s side as the couple exchanged vows, while Cutting’s long-term partner and former Miss World Australia Erin Holland acted as McLellan’s bridesmaid.

As they primped and polished in preparation for the wedding on Friday morning, McLellan and her bridal party dined on fresh fruit and crossaints and sipped Moet and Chandon Rose Imperial from a custom labelled bottle featuring the words “Mrs K” in gold lettering.

McLellan last month opened up about her decision to convert from ­Catholicism to Islam to marry the man she loves.

She wore another custom gown by Melbourne-based Grech for the Allan Border Medal night back in February, telling The Courier-Mail it was “almost like a pre-wedding trial”.

McLellan took to social media earlier this week to share her excitement about the wedding.


“Words can’t describe how excited I am to marry my best friend,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a photograph of the couple.
