Ruby Brownless and her fiancé Josh Wallis kicked off their ‘wedding week’ in spectacular style on Friday night, as they welcomed a bevy of celebrity guests to Noosa for their lavish nuptials.
‘It’s wedding week,’ the daughter of AFL great Billy Brownless beamed, as she posed on a wharf with her Western Bulldogs beau for a few pre-wedding snaps in a breathtaking backless dress.
The 25-year-old model and Instagram influencer and the brother of former Western Bulldogs star Mitch Wallis tied the knot in front of a star-studded crowd on Saturday.
The pair got engaged over Christmas in 2023 during a holiday on Queensland’s scenic Hayman Island and have been dating since 2019.
US country singer Zac Bryan, 28, suited up for the occasion, as the plus one of Ruby’s close friend — and his new girlfriend — Hannah Duncan, 27.
‘Gonna delete 30 beers,’ the Something in the Orange crooner captioned a selfie from Friday evening.

Meanwhile Ruby’s sister Lucy happily played the role of excited camera woman, as she captured the special moments unfolding at sunset for social media.
‘I love you,’ Lucy captioned a golden hour selfie taken with the bride to be.
Their mother Nicky Brownless, 58, looked positively radiant in golden hour light as she posed for a photo solo.
Nicky and her ex-husband’s former close friend AFL star Garry Lyon are engaged to be married.
Garry blindsided his best mate by starting a relationship with his wife of 18 years, just 12 months after they separated.
The former Melbourne captain controversially went public with Nicky in 2016.
Garry, 60, was among a smattering of guests that were spotted leaving for the venue on Friday afternoon, , despite his infamous fallout with the bride’s father.
Garry and his wedding party were heading to the secluded wedding venue, nestled in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The tranquil property is set on 34 acres of forest, while the sun and surf of Noosa is just 20 minutes away.

The bombshell falling-out between the former best mates stunned the footy world after Lyon split from his wife Melissa, ran off with Nicky and later moved in with her and Billy’s four children, Lucy, Ruby, Oscar and Max.
The Brownlesses’ 18-year marriage didn’t survive the stunning turn of events and the Cats legend has given several raw accounts of how badly Lyon’s actions hurt him, at one stage confessing he had ‘a bit of hatred’ for the Melbourne Demons icon.
A month after the shattering news broke, he bluntly said ‘a good mate wouldn’t do that’ before sensationally confessing he believed Garry and Nicky’s secret relationship could have been going on for years.
The former mates appeared to bury the hatchet in 2020 when Billy joined Nicky, their children and Lyon to celebrate Christmas.
That followed Brownless admitting the pair were in a ‘good spot’ earlier in the year.
Photographs shared on Christmas Day showed the blended family spending the day together.
Lucy photographed her sister gazing out over the ocean water, as she took in her last sunset as a single woman.
She also snapped a selfie with Bryan’s partner Hannah, and shared a beautiful family portrait, which included herself, Ruby, brothers Oscar and Max, and their divorced parents grinning from ear-to-ear.

US country star Zac Bryan suited up for the pre-wedding party
Geelong great Brownless and Nicky looked happy in each other’s company as they enjoyed the pre-nuptials party.
But there is another wedding guest courting some attention thanks to his own high-profile split.
Zac Bryan jetted into Australia earlier this week with his partner Hannah, who is originally from Melbourne.
The country star has been pictured with her a number of times since his public split from podcaster Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia in October 2024.
Since their breakup, Brianna has gone on to make public several allegations about their relationship, claiming the singer offered her US$12million to sign an NDA.
