Andy Lee said his wedding to Rebecca Harding felt as though it had “gone on for weeks” as he arrived for brunch in New York City.
The 45-year-old comedian opted for a relaxed look in a white T-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap as he headed into Old Mates Pub in Lower Manhattan. The Australian-themed venue is co-owned by Lee, Hugh Jackman, Hamish Blake and Mick Fanning.
Lee told the Daily Mail that the wedding had been “13 years in the making” and had turned out “amazing”. He said Harding took his breath away when she appeared on their special day.
“She was perfectly Bec,” he gushed, clutching his cheek at one point.
The newlywed soon stepped out of the car in a playful dress, shielding her eyes with stylish sunglasses following the previous evening’s celebrations.
The statuesque brunette was all smiles and told the Daily Mail she felt “great” before posing for an impromptu photo opportunity on the pub’s steps.

A stream of famous guests soon followed, with several attempting to keep a low profile by concealing their faces behind sunglasses.
Wolverine star Hugh Jackman was spotted entering the venue. In his typically charming fashion, he flashed the peace sign at the press and said he felt “awesome”.
Andy’s longtime comedy partner Hamish Blake also made his way inside, saying he felt “good” and joking with the Australian press that New York City was “a long way to come for a report”.
Radio personality Lauren Phillips and her boyfriend, Paul O’Brien, made a stylish entrance as they arrived at the venue, lowering their heads to avoid questions.
Rebecca looked breathtaking in a white strapless gown believed to have been created by an Australian designer as she left The Bowery Hotel in Lower Manhattan for the ceremony. She was accompanied by assistants carrying umbrellas and her stylist, Elliot Garnaut.
The gown featured a dramatic train and structured bodice. She completed the look with delicate diamond earrings and, naturally, her engagement ring.
The brunette wore her hair in a romantic half-up, half-down style, while minimal makeup allowed her natural beauty to take centre stage.
Andy was supported by three groomsmen: Lego Masters host Hamish, one of his brothers and his best friend, Michael Horgan.

The couple arrived in the Big Apple for their wedding celebrations over the weekend.
On Monday night, they appeared to hold a pre-wedding celebration with their friends in Manhattan.
Andy and Rebecca were spotted strolling down the streets of New York in bridal-inspired outfits.
Rebecca and Andy’s relationship began after they first met at a Melbourne café in 2014, where Andy famously left his email address for Rebecca on a napkin.
She eventually got in touch and the pair went on their first date the following day.
Andy popped the question after 10 years of dating in 2024, and Rebecca admitted she was genuinely shocked by the proposal, despite how long they had been together.
The happy couple plan to split their time between Melbourne and New York, where Andy part-owns an Australian pub called Old Mates.
