Matildas star Katrina Gorry makes huge reveal about her upcoming wedding as she parties at hen's do
Katrina Gorry has finally revealed when she'll tie the knot with her fiancee Clara Markstedt almost two years after their heartwarming engagement announcement. The Matildas star announced she will marry her Swedish love on June 15, making the date public in an Instagram post that showed the couple celebrating their hen's party together on Sunday. Gorry captioned her post - which featured photos of her and Markstedt in colourful wigs and wearing matching 'Bride to Be' sashes - with the words, 'The perfect HUx. 20 days until I get to call you my wife.' 'Hux' refers to a combined hen's and buck's party. The 32-year-old West Ham star revealed she got engaged to her long-term partner just before the last Women's World Cup, sharing photos of Markstedt's romantic proposal at a stunning seaside location. 'The best love stories never end. YES,' the Matildas veteran posted on social media along with photos of her and Markstedt embracing and showing off their engagement rings. 'She said YES! How did I get so lucky?' wrote Markstedt, who is also a talented artist as well as a veteran of the high-quality Swedish league, the Damallsvenskan. Matildas stars were quick to congratulate the popular veteran, 30, over the brilliant news. 'I love this! I'm so happy for you both,' wrote goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold, with Arsenal star Steph Catley saying: 'STOP, So, so, so happy for you guys!' Close mate and Matildas legend Michelle Heyman was also stoked with the news. 'WOW!! Congratulations beautiful! This is the best news ever! I can't wait to celebrate with you!' the A-League Women's star said. More good news followed for the couple in June last year, when Markstedt gave birth to their son Koby Peter David Gorry. The name includes a touching tribute to Markstedt's late father Peter, who passed away during last year's World Cup. 'Big sister is absolutely in love and our hearts are so full,' they wrote, referring to their daughter Harper. At the time, the midfielder was recovering from an ankle injury that required surgery last August and ruined her Women's Super League season. Gorry suffered another ankle injury in April, forcing her to withdraw from the Matildas' international camp. She was not named in the Aussie squad to take on Argentina on May 30 and June 2 after being given personal leave.
