Sprinter Freeman walks down the aisle
Olympic champion Cathy Freeman has married Melbourne stockbroker James Murch in a private ceremony on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula.
Under a sea of umbrellas put up to foil the long lenses of paparazzi photographers and TV cameras, the champion sprinter walked down the aisle to wed Mr Murch in front of 120 guests at the Spray Farm winery at Portarlington.
The couple is believed to have signed an exclusive agreement with a magazine for
$100,000 but the fee will be donated to charity, the Nine Network reported on
Saturday.
It's the second trip down the aisle for the Sydney 2000 gold medallist in the
women's 400m, who has been with Mr Murch for three years.
A musician driving into the winery ahead of the 4.30pm (AEST) ceremony told the Nine
Network that the couple had chosen Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are for their
wedding dance.
Weddings guests were confronted by a phalanx of security guards at the entrance to
the estate.
