Gogglebox star Jad Nehmetallah marries fiancée Sarah in lavish cathedral ceremony in Sydney – seven months after their engagement in Italy

Gogglebox star Jad Nehmetallah and fiancée Sarah tied the knot in a very traditional ceremony at St Mary’s Cathedral on Saturday. 

The reality TV personality, 39, and his love couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they exchanged vows in front of a huge crowd of friends and family. 

Sharing a sweet kiss at the altar as their loved ones cheered them on, they then held hands as they descended the front steps of the cathedral into a dancing crowd. 

In traditional Arabic style, the newlyweds kicked off the reception party early as they danced with their guests outside the venue. 

Some played Middle Eastern instruments, including the mijwiz, while others clapped and formed a circle around Jad and Sarah who swayed together to the music.

Sarah stole the show in a rhinestone encrusted strapless gown by Steven Khalil which featured a fitted bodice before flaring out into voluminous skirts.

With a long train and veil dragging across the ground behind her, the bridesmaids made sure the glamorous frock remained pristine throughout the day.

The bride of the hour blew kisses to her loved ones as she left the cathedral, clasping a bouquet of white roses in one hand. 

She enhanced her natural features with bronzed eye shadow and a nude lip and added a soft curl to her long dark tresses.

Meanwhile, groom Jad donned a traditional black and white tuxedo from Tailor & Co and neatly groomed his short brunette locks.

He arrived at the ceremony venue in a classic car to applause and congratulations from his loved ones, taking a moment to dance with his male family members.

Later, Jad and Sarah were hoisted up onto the shoulders of their guests as the boisterous crowd kept the celebrations going at the reception. 

The after-party venue was decked out in lavish table settings with a caviar station and open bar for all.

Violinists and a singer serenaded guests as they enjoyed their reception dinner and a huge raspberry and cream topped cake.

Later, a DJ kept the music going all night and the traditional instruments emerged once more while hundreds of guests filled the dance floor. 

At one point, Jad and Sarah could be seen dancing in the middle of a circle of drummers. 

As the party kicked into high gear, the happy couple even took to standing on their table to dance and sing with the crowd. 

The lavish wedding comes after Jad and Sarah announced their engagement following a whirlwind romance.

Jad popped the question in Puglia, Italy at Castle Elvira on July 12, 2024.

He got down on one knee on a rooftop adorned with flowers and candles, and hired a cellist for an extra romantic touch.

Sharing the news to Instagram, Jad wrote: ‘Today was magical, a true fairy tale. God has blessed me with a real life angel. Sarah, you are the epitome of a woman. 

‘Beautiful, soft, caring, loving, smart, supportive and funny. You make me feel like a King.

He described his future wife as ‘beautiful, soft, caring, loving, smart, supportive and funny’.

‘We bring out the best in each other,’ Jad gushed.

He said that their connection was instant and deep, built on shared values, a love of travel, food, family, and fun.
