Australia’s Abbey Holmes and Keegan Brooksby Get Married At Uluru, Northern Territory


Congratulations to the AFL power couple who embraced the beautiful Australian landscape and got married at the iconic Uluru in the Northern Territory! In the heart of Australia, Abbey Holmes, the internet sensation and former Australian Rules footballer for the Adelaide Football Club in the AFL Women’s league, and Keegan Brooksby, a professional Australian Rules footballer, who recently played at the Hawthorn Football Club in the AFL, orchestrated a wedding that embraced the dunes and desert heat.

How They Met

Their love story kicked off in 2017, at the intersection of Abbey’s return to Adelaide for her second year with the Crows and Keegan’s farewell to the Gold Coast Suns. It was love at first sight, a connection that ignited during an epic eight-hour first date that surpassed all expectations! Starting with a casual 3:30 pm coffee date, anticipating this initial meeting might go for an hour max, the rendezvous continued when Keegan suggested a move at the cinema next door! Once Jumanji wrapped up, Abbey threw “dinner?” out there to which Keegan very quickly jumped at, so the date yet again continued! From that moment, Abbey and Keegan became inseparable.

Planning The Wedding

Uluru holds a special place in their hearts, as the place they got engaged at on November 8th, 2020, As Abbey, the proud “Friend of Australia” through Tourism Australia’s ambassador program, and the founder of Backyard Bandits Australia, shared her passion for domestic travel, Uluru became the perfect stage for their dream destination wedding.

Abbey’s journey in the Northern Territory, where she lived for seven years in Darwin, added an extra layer of significance to the occasion. The wedding wasn’t just a celebration of love; it was a tribute to the incredible opportunities and experiences that shaped Abbey into the charismatic internet personality she is today.
