Narelda Jacobs is a married woman. 

The Channel 10 presenter walked down the aisle with bride Karina Natt in a fun-filled ceremony at an indoor venue in Sydney on Saturday.

The 48-year-old looked to be having an absolute ball in images shared to Instagram on Sunday while surrounded by friends, family and famous guests. 

The two said 'I do' in front of a floral arch placed before a huge window at what appeared to be an upper floor location. 

Narelda and her new wife each opted for white ensembles, with the TV star choosing a fitted gown with fur accents from Aussie luxury label Zhivago. 

It clung close to her figure before flaring out into a romantic train, with the fur shoulder details adding a glamorous air. 

She added a pair of dangling earrings and opted for a glowing makeup look with a plum lipstick. 

Karina meanwhile also dressed in a Zhivago gown, which likewise sat close to her figure and included high fashion raised shoulders. 

The dress included an open back and reached floor length, with a slight shimmer to the fabric. 

She chose a rosy makeup palette with a dark pink lipstick and added a pair of glittering hoop earrings. 

Among the celebrity guests were MasterChef Australia star Melissa Leong and celebrity chef Kylie Kwong.

Also in attendance was comedian Luke McGregor and his wife Dr Amy Thunig-McGregor.

Following the intimate vows ceremony, the brides changed outfits to party into the night. 

The new wives donned matching opalescent disco frocks with plunging necklines and a 1980s style silhouette. 

They looked absolutely delighted and smitten as they posed for photos with their guests, before hitting the dance floor.  

Natt is the chief of staff for South Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. 

Jacobs was previously in a long-term relationship with filmmaker Stevie Cruz-Martin. 

While it's unclear when Jacobs and Cruz-Martin broke up, the film and television director now appears to be based in London.

She debuted her new romance in an Instagram post in early 2023, sharing a photo of the two women kissing during Sydney World Pride celebrations.

In the caption, Jacobs revealed the pair went on their first date in February that year, going public when they had been an item for just four weeks. 

'Can't ignore the numbers. First date 23/02/23. One month later 23/03/23,' she wrote.

Natt first appeared on Jacobs' Instagram feed on March 4 that year.

Jacobs told The Australian in 2021 she was brought up being told it was wrong to be gay and she would go to hell for her sexuality.

She also said she wanted her daughter Jade Dolman to have a more tolerant and accepting childhood than the one she had.

'I wanted Jade to grow up with an open mind; I didn't, because of our very Christian upbringing. We thought gays were going to hell,' she said.

Jacobs, who was raised in a strict Christian family before coming out at the age of 21, previously struggled to accept she was gay.

'I buried my sexuality so deep because of how we were brought up,' she told The Sydney Morning Herald in February 2021.

Her mother Margaret has made it clear she does not accept her sexuality, but loves her all the same.

'[My mother and I] have great conversations about all sorts of things, but there are certain things we just don't talk about,' she said.

'I would love to be able to talk about relationship stuff with my mum, but I know that I will never be able to.'
