- Mitch Moses marries fiancée Bri Gardoni
- The couple has been dating since 2018
- Newlyweds have a daughter Aspyn
Parramatta Eels halfback Mitchell Moses is a married man after walking down the aisle with his fiancée Bri Gardoni this weekend.
The NRL star and his new bride exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, although details of the ceremony are not yet publicly known and can only be pieced together with the help of social media posts from his teammates and guests.
Gardoni looked beautiful in a white wedding dress, surrounded by bridesmaids, also in white.
Moses looked sharp in a white tuxedo jacket, while his teammates and friends were dressed in dark suits.
The odd one out was extremely fit-looking Parramatta front rower Junior Paulo, who stood out from the crowd in a stylish pink jacket.
Mitch Moses took time out from the festivities to pose for a photo with some of his Eels teammates, including Regan Campbell-Gillard, Bryce Cartwright, Dylan Brown, Junior Paulo (in pink jacket), Bailey Simonsson and Ryan Matterson

Footage posted on social media by Paulo's wife Mele shows guests clapping and cheering as the newlyweds enter the reception and perform their first dance as a married couple.
The celebrations included Moses' teammates, including Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Dylan Brown, Ryan Matterson and Bryce Cartwright.
Brown posted a video of Moses being hoisted onto the shoulders of two guests during the reception as the crowd danced and sang to the accompaniment of live Lebanese drummers.
Gardoni, who has been dating Moses since 2018, took to social media in early 2023 to announce their engagement.
She posted a photo on Instagram with Moses and their daughter Aspyn next to a ring on her engagement finger.
“14.2.23,” the caption on the romantic photo read, along with a love heart emoji, suggesting the footy star popped the question on Valentine's Day.
The halfback famously missed Aspyn's birth because he had to fly to Townsville for the Eels' preliminary final against the North Queensland Cowboys in 2022.
Bri wasn't due to give birth until a week later, but little Aspyn couldn't wait to join the world and Moses got the call while in Townsville, hours before the match.
It was later revealed that coach Brad Arthur told his star player to return home for the birth, even if it meant losing the preliminary final due to his absence.

'What are you doing here? Go away,' said Arthur.
But the father-to-be told him he couldn't abandon his teammates and instead witnessed his child's birth via FaceTime.
“I just looked at him and said, 'I can't.' I can't leave these guys here considering how hard we've worked all year,” Moses said.
Needless to say, Bri was initially unhappy with Moses' team-first attitude.
“She was a little nasty at first when she was put in there and said, this is how it's going to happen,” Moses said.
'She was a bit dirty. But she understood. She has supported me through everything. She's seen how much work I've put in this year to get to the position we're in.
'I have a family now – this is all for them.'
