The release of white doves marked the marriage of local Danielle McDonald to celebrity WWE NXT Wrestler Michael “Mikey” Nicholls. Family and friends gathered at a magical garden ceremony held at the family home in Muchea under a stormy summer sky to celebrate a love and partnership that has withstood the tests of time and distance.
Michael’s international commitments as an Australian professional wrestler, competing under the ring name of Nick Miller, have seen him based in Japan and America. With Danielle living here, they have travelled back and forth for the last 7 years to be together.
The bride and groom met at work where they both care for people with disabilities. This caring ethic is shared with the bride’s mother, Joanne McDonald and maid of honour (and sister), Leanne Hunt, who are both foster carers.
Danielle’s ring bearers were her dog Lilly (8) and brother Brendan (14).
The couple are spending a well deserved break on their honeymoon in the Bahamas.
