See the stunning pics of Matildas star Ellie Carpenter's French wedding as she marries her soccer player girlfriend
Matildas star Ellie Carpenter has tied the knot with her teammate Daniëlle van de Donk in a breathtaking ceremony that came almost 18 months after they got engaged. The 25-year-old met the love of her life as they both played for top French side Lyon and the Aussie revealed their nuptials in a post to Instagram on Wednesday night. Carpenter treated her followers to two photos of the wedding, which was held at a mansion in France, along with the caption 'I choose you. I will always choose you.' The post drew heartfelt messages from her Matildas teammates Emily van Egmond, Emily Gielnik, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Steph Catley and Charli Grant. Another Matildas star, Teagan Micah, was part of the wedding party. Van de donk's gown was made by leading bridal brand Pronovias, while Carpenter's gown - which featured a veil - was created by Collingwood-based custom dress maker Mia Ateliers, with the soccer star describing it as 'the dress of my dreams'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ellie Carpenter (@elliecarpenterr) The ceremony - which was the centrepiece of three days of celebrations - was held at the Château Hermitage de Combas in southern France's Servian region. 'The setting is so lush and green, it's beautiful,' Carpenter told Vogue. 'It's got this unique, elegant vibe but still feels grounded in love and who we are as a couple. Intimate, natural, and full of heart.' The couple met while playing internationally and really got to know each other when van de Donk joined Lyon in 2021. They first went public with their romance in 2023 and announced their engagement on New Year's Day last year. The Matildas defender shared the news to Instagram alongside a loved-up photo of the couple taken in front of a stunning ocean vista in the Maldives. In the image, Ellie is seen embracing her fiancée as she flashes her stunning engagement ring. Danielle captioned the touching frame with some tender words. 'My person for life,' she wrote, adding a red love heart and ring emoji. That announcement came after Carpenter spoke out about the cruel abuse she received from online trolls following the Matildas' loss to England in the Women's World Cup semi-final on home soil. She was forced to turn off the comments on her Instagram account after an unfortunate mistake in the 71st minute of the match that proved costly in Australia's eventual 3-1 defeat. Carpenter was given time off by the Matildas for her nuptials and was not in camp when the side's new coach Joe Montemurro addressed the squad for the first time late last month.

Spanish bridal label Pronovias sees €193 million capital cut
Pronovias, the Barcelona-based bridal fashion house known for its elegant wedding gowns and global presence, is taking decisive steps to support its financial recovery. To guide the label back toward profitability, its owners— Bain Capital and MV Credit—have withdrawn €193 million from the share capital of Catiberia Acquisition Holdco, the holding company overseeing all Pronovias operations. The capital reduction occurred at the end of March, as reported in the Official Bulletin of the Commercial Registry (Borme) and revealed by the Spanish newspaper El Confidencial. This move allowed the company to repay a substantial portion of the €211 million injected by the two funds in May 2023—shortly after acquiring Pronovias—to stabilize its accounts and activate a recovery plan. The transaction occurred in two phases through Mermaid Bidco Limited and excluded the previous owner, Pronovias BC Capital, from the capital structure. According to the latest data from the Commercial Registry, Catiberia Acquisition Holdco reported a deficit of €129 million in fiscal year 2023, driven by accumulated losses due to the pandemic's prolonged impact on the bridal fashion industry. In response, the company announced a redundancy plan in mid-2024 that affected 64 employees at its offices in El Prat de Llobregat, near Barcelona, as part of its broader effort to return to profitability. Alongside its financial restructuring, Pronovias has been undergoing a significant brand transformation. In an interview with in 2024, managing director Marc Calabia explained that the company is executing a comprehensive strategy to reestablish Pronovias as a reference point in the global bridalwear market. As part of this repositioning, the label has partnered with notable partners, including the National Art Museum of Catalonia and Italian designer Elisabetta Franchi, with whom it recently released a capsule collection. Earlier this year, Pronovias unveiled an updated strategic plan for 2025–2027, centered on international expansion and redesigning its El Prat de Llobregat headquarters showroom. Reflecting this new direction, the brand chose not to participate in the 2024 edition of Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, which took place in April. The group currently operates a diverse brand portfolio under the Pronovias umbrella, including Vera Wang Bride, House of St. Patrick, White One, Nicole Milano and Lady Bird. Today, the company's
