Olympic medallist and dual world champion James Magnussen has married his longtime partner Rose McEvoy in a waterfront ceremony in Sydney’s Watsons Bay.

The couple took their decade-long relationship to the next level with family and loved ones on Friday.

 Magnussen was one of Australia’s leading swimmers during the early 2010s, winning world titles in the 100m freestyle and claiming Olympic silver and bronze medals, while McEvoy built her own profile as a model and former Miss Universe Australia.

Sydney’s wet weather on the day added an extra layer of coordination as guests arrived and the bridal party made their way into the venue.

McEvoy wore an off-the-shoulder white gown with a structured bodice and a full skirt that flowed as she moved.

The fabric gathered in soft layers, and attendants were seen lifting sections of the dress as she stepped along the wet pavement to keep it clean and in place.

Wet weather in Sydney created challenging conditions as guests and the bridal party arrived at the harbourside venue

Her hair was styled in a neat updo, covered by a sheer veil, and she carried a bouquet of white flowers with green accents.

She paired the look with pointed white heels, moving carefully as she approached the entrance.

Magnussen, known throughout his career as ‘The Missile’, wore a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie.

He remained close to McEvoy as she arrived, watching on as helpers adjusted her gown and guided her through the entrance.

At one point, she stepped out from a car under an umbrella as multiple attendants worked around her, lifting the dress and helping her up onto the curb.

The movement of the gown created a sense of motion as it was gathered and carried, with the bride balancing carefully on her heels.

Another moment shows McEvoy standing at the doorway of the venue holding her bouquet, composed as she prepared to enter, while Magnussen stood nearby as guests gathered behind them.

Guests arrived in formal attire, navigating the wet ground and moving quickly between cars and the venue.

One guest stood out in a bright red dress under a long coat, holding an umbrella and smiling as she approached.

Other attendees in tuxedos were seen adjusting jackets and chatting as they walked inside.

A vintage white car was used for part of the arrival, with McEvoy briefly visible through the window before stepping out. The vehicle added a traditional touch to the setting.

The wedding follows Magnussen’s proposal in Croatia, which took place shortly after he had been working around the Olympic Games.

In front of family and friends, he dropped to one knee and asked McEvoy to marry him.

‘If you push me in [the water] I’m going home,’ he said.

‘I love you, will you marry me?’

McEvoy later shared the moment publicly, writing: ‘For the first time in my life, I was speechless.’
