Ancient At home and away Star Luke Jacobz has finally married his fiancée Raychel Stuart, three years after their originally planned wedding date.
The couple originally planned to wed in November 2020, but they were forced to postpone their wedding twice due to lockdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fortunately, the couple finally became husband and wife on June 3 after marrying in a small, intimate ceremony in Sydney, new idea reports.

Jacobz, who played Angelo Rosetta on the Australian soap, revealed he had started to give up hope of being able to marry Stuart, adding the couple were “delighted” that their “lifetime dream” had finally come true.
The bride even arrived at the ceremony 40 minutes early, before being walked down the aisle by Jacobz’s mother’s partner, John, in a moment that Jacobz described as “really special.”
Stuart revealed seeing his fiancé waiting for him at the end of the aisle was “unreal” and “dreamlike”, while Jacobz joked that he had used all the tissues intended for his new wife.
“I was a mess,” he said. “When I saw Raychel I lost him because we had been waiting so long for this to happen. I ended up using all the tissues, not Raychel who was part of the plan.”
After five years of engagement and marriage, the couple have revealed they hope to start a family after spending their honeymoon in the United States.
Jacobz starred in At home and away as police officer Angelo from 2008 to 2011, his character becoming embroiled in a tumultuous relationship with Charlie Buckton and gunning down co-worker Jack Holden in a shock storyline.
He made a brief return in 2020 to investigate the murder of Ross Nixon, Jacobz telling digital spy that he was happy to receive a mixed reaction from fans upon his return.
“I love these kind of answers, I think they’re awesome!” he said at the time.
“You can’t have a show where you like everyone. There has to be someone you don’t like, and I know there are fans who won’t like Angelo coming back – he is a bit naughty!”
