Love Island star Anna McEvoy marries fiancé Michael Staples at stunning wedding ceremony at luxury Corfu villa in the Greek Islands

Anna McEvoy is a married woman. 

The Love Island Australia star walked down the aisle with fiancé Michael Staples at a glamorous ceremony at Corfu, in the Greek Islands this weekend.

The couple opted to hold their ceremony at the upmarket Courti Estate, described as a ‘Luxury Corfu Villa’ with nine bedrooms for guests. 

Anna, 32, looked gorgeous in a Alin Le’ Kal wedding dress from the Melbourne couture designer. 

The flowing gown included a long, floral embroidered train and boned corset bodice with dainty straps.  

For makeup, the bride glowed in a natural look with a soft pink lip, while wearing her hair up in a bun with some loose strands around her face. 

Anna completed her wedding ensemble with a pair of pearl earrings and carried a white rose bouquet.

The groom also chose a high end look, wearing a BELANCĒ tuxedo from the luxury tailoring brand based in Sydney. 

It featured a white blazer and black trousers, accented with a white dress shirt and black bowtie. 

Bridesmaids looked gorgeous in soft blue satin gowns and carried bouquets of white blooms. 

White Volkswagens were the car of choice for guests, who took great pleasure in posing around the picturesque grounds. 

Friends and family offered a glimpse at preparations for the day, under the witty hashtag #annagetsstapled. 

‘Our wedding day at The Courti Estate was magical,’ Anna told the Herald Sun on Sunday.

‘It was the idyllic European wedding of our dreams, that turned out even better than we could have imagined. Michael and I couldn’t be happier’ she went on. 

‘So overwhelmed with love from our amazing family and friends, who travelled all the way to Greece to support us.’ 

Earlier this year, Anna revealed on her podcast Where’s Your Head At? that her Greek wedding is in fact not legally binding.  

‘I have a little secret. I have only decided this morning that I’m sharing this secret. Obviously we’re getting married in Greece, as you know,’ she began.

Anna then went on to say that because the celebrant she chose for the wedding in Greece is not officially recognised, she decided to actually marry Michael back home in Australia before they left. 

‘On the 28th of April, Michael and I went to the registry office with both of our parents in Melbourne. Our dads were the witnesses. It was actually a very special moment,’ she said.

Anna detailed the process of getting married in the registry office in Melbourne, explaining, ‘It’s a beautiful old building.

The cost of the marriage registry is $500 for either a 6-person or 50-person room. 

According to the influencer, the couple was made to stand in front of their parents and say ‘I do’ in unison.

‘It was so awkward. Imagine your parents and your in-laws just staring at you and you and your partner are just standing there holding hands,’ Anna said.

Anna reflected that the entire experience at the registry office was overly formal and ‘too serious.’ 

‘It just felt too serious, it was giving me the ick a little bit,’ she said, before telling Matt that she and Michael could only bring themselves to do a ‘peck’ for the kiss at the end of the ceremony. 

Earlier in the episode, Anna said that they were already in Greece for the ‘official wedding.’ 

‘By the time this episode comes out, I will be officially Mrs Staples. I will be married.’

Co-host Matt was astounded by the news in the pre-recorded episode: ‘How cool is that?’ he said. 

‘And today, when this episode comes out, will be our recovery. We’ll be recovering from the wedding, having a little pool party,’ Anna added.

Anna revealed she’d was getting married on the Greek island of Corfu early last year, after getting engaged to Michael in October 2022.

Their wedding venue is part of a fully renovated nine-bedroom estate, where the bride and groom’s family and close friends are staying. 

‘We put a deposit down on a wedding venue in Corfu, but Michael and I have both never been to Corfu,’ she said on her podcast in 2023.

The couple acknowledged a lot of people wouldn’t be able to attend their wedding due to the distance.

So an intimate engagement party for family and friends was held in April.

Anna and Michael are planning a large affair with up to 90 guests so those who can’t fly to Greece will be able to celebrate with them.

Anna said she had done a lot of research on Greece, and thought there would be heaps of suitable venues, but only a few caught her eye. 

She rose to fame on season two of Love Island Australia, and won the show with Josh Packham but they split in December 2020.
