'Home and Away's Tessa James marries Nate Myles

Tessa James and Nate Myles have married in an intimate ceremony.

The Home and Away star and National Rugby League player Myles, who got engaged last March, exchanged vows in front of friends and family in a garden out the back of her family's Melbourne home on December 23.

James told New Idea magazine: "I am so very, very lucky to have Nate in my life. And it was the best day."

He added: "I loved it and wouldn't change anything. It was perfect."

The 20-year-old actress wore a Steven Khalil drop-shoulder French lace wedding gown embellished with Swarovski pearl beads and ostrich feathers and a blue family heirloom brooch in her hair.

Myles said: "She looked beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen her look that great. My favourite part would be when her dad lifted the veil off - I was blown away. Honest to God, I tell her every day how lucky I am to have her and I will always love her to death. I don't think I could love anyone as much as I do her."

James admitted that she did have some last-minute nerves, saying: "My moment of freak out was when I drove in and saw everybody. But then I saw Nate. That's all I wanted to do all day and when I did, I thought it was all going to be okay."

The couple were rumoured to have split late last year, but a spokesperson for Myles soon rubbished the reports, saying that their relationship was "still on track".

James's Home and Away co-stars Jodi Gordon, Samara Weaving and Esther Anderson all attended the event, together with Gordon's sports star fiancé Braith Anasta and Myles's teammate Todd Carney.
