Mitchell Johnson marries Jessica Bratich

Mitchell Johnson has married Jessica Bratich in a private ceremony, it has been reported.

The 29-year-old Australian cricketer, who has been dating former karate champion Bratich for several years, exchanged vows in front of 50 guests in Western Australia last Friday.

According to the Herald Sun, Johnson did not invite any of his Aussie cricket teammates or his estranged mother Vikki Harber, who he fell out with when he moved to Perth in 2009.

Bratich reportedly wore a wig at her hen party so as not to be recognised, whereas Johnson celebrated his stag night at a secret location in the Perth Hills.

Although Johnson's manager Sam Halvorsen did not confirm the nupitals, he did say that the couple are "away at the moment" and will return to Perth this weekend.

In 2009, Johnson joined fellow cricketers Shane Watson, Nathan Bracken and Simon Katich in stripping off for a calendar to raise money for the McGrath Foundation, a charity set up by sports star Glenn McGrath following his wife Jane's death.
