Delta Goodrem married the love of her life, Matthew Copley, in Malta in June.

On a thrilling Thursday, I had the privilege to give Vogue Australia an exclusive sneak peek into my enchanting wedding story.

On June 2025, the husband and wife experienced something even more enchanting than either of them had ever imagined, as Delta expressed in a heartfelt Instagram post.

She went on to say, “We exchanged our vows against the backdrop of the Maltese sky, making our family’s fairy tale come true, with countless angels contributing to this beautiful event.

As a devoted follower, I cherish each recollection of that special moment – the affection, the mirth, the joy-filled tears, and the dance that lasted until the first light of dawn.

As a die-hard admirer of Paul Vasileff’s designs, I was absolutely spellbound when the radiant bride, age 40, graced the altar in an off-the-shoulder wedding gown boasting a tantalizingly sweetheart neckline crafted by none other than this South Australian fashion maestro.

The French tulle gown features gorgeous lattice detailing and a two-and-a-half metre train.

I’ve been absolutely thrilled to share that for three solid months, I collaborated hand-in-hand with this brilliant designer to bring a dress into existence that was nothing short of deeply personal and extraordinarily special.

Delta shared with Vogue that there was an instant bond between herself and Paul once he got engaged, and they began collaborating right away on the couture project.

The dress, crafted over approximately 500 hours, incorporated elements symbolizing the couple’s love story, such as their wedding date, a pair of swans, and cherubs, delicately sewn into the material.

In addition, Vasileff was the one who dressed Delta for the 2016 Logie Awards, and he called teaming up with her an ‘ideal collaboration’.

In the 900-year-old St. Paul’s Cathedral of Mdina, dating back to the 12th century, Delta and Mathew declared their love for each other by exchanging vows.

The event subsequently unfolded within the enchanting grounds of Palazzo Parisio, a historic 18th-century mansion boasting beautiful gardens, situated in Naxxar.

Delta switched to two more outfits during the party, ensuring she’d feel at ease to dance all night long as Conrad Sewell and Vince Pizzinga entertained the high-profile attendees.

Two gowns, crafted specifically for the singer, were designed by Melbourne’s own couturier, Con Ilio. One of these is an evening gown adorned with hand-sewn pearls and crystals, ideal for parties.

Delta and Mathew received their unique, tailor-made gold and diamond wedding rings from Melbourne-based jeweler, Anton Jewellery.

The performer shared with Vogue that it was crucial for her to feel authentic on the day, a sentiment of great importance to her. She desired the overall aesthetic to be earthy and genuine amidst the fantastical setting.

Delta had her makeup applied by Noni Smith, and Michael Brennan handled her hairstyling. On that particular day, Meggy Smith served as the stylist.

As I recount the story, let me share with you a detail: my partner graced us all in an elegantly tailored Tom Ford ensemble from head to toe, as I shared with Vogue magazine. To keep the enchantment alive, I didn’t cross paths with Matt the night before our heartfelt vows.

Speaking about the occasion, she mentioned that it was particularly unforgettable when they first crossed paths at the aisle because they followed the custom of not meeting each other the evening prior.

The wedding, organized by Sarah Young Luxury Events and Weddings along with Wonder Event, was flawlessly executed.

According to Delta, every minute felt like a magical story coming alive. The entire day and the following week spent together surpassed anything we ever dared to imagine.

Attendees of the highly exclusive wedding were said to have been given comprehensive schedules well ahead of time, as the event served as the conclusion of a two-year long meticulous planning phase.

The wedding was an extravagant multi-day celebration attended by the couple’s nearest and dearest.

On the day after their wedding, the newlyweds relaxed at an upscale beach club together with Richard Wilkins, his partner Mia Hawkswell, his son Christian, and Today show host Renee Bargh.

Additionally, Delta was accompanied on her beach outing by well-known individuals from her close circle, such as her mother Lea and brother Trent.

After exchanging vows in a charming Maltese ceremony, I, being utterly smitten, couldn’t wait to celebrate our union further. So, the very next day, we transformed the ocean into our dance floor, hosting an unforgettable yacht party for our dearest friends, two days after saying “I do.

The team embarked from Valletta’s shore, stepping aboard a lavishly hired yacht for a leisurely voyage across the glittering Mediterranean, mirroring the extravagance of celebrities – nothing was overlooked in the preparations.

Instead of plunging into the sparkling waters for a sunbath or raising a toast with champagne glasses while cherishing delightful moments on the deck, the newlywed couple and their sophisticated attendees savored a laid-back yet glamorous day filled with post-wedding tranquility.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can tell you that this place holds more than just sentimental value for the singer – it’s where her heart and career intertwine in a beautiful dance. It was here that she shared one of life’s most cherished moments with her partner, Copley, during their romantic engagement. Beyond the romance, it serves as a testament to deep-rooted personal and professional connections that have enriched her journey.

In a YouTube video posted in 2023, Delta discussed her connection with the southern European country.

She went on to reveal her Matt’s roots.

In a heart-filled exclamation, she shared with me a fascinating tidbit about her roots, “My beloved ones hail from the enchanting island of Malta!” She further revealed that a significant number of her cherished bandmates and vocal harmonizers can trace their ancestry back to this captivating Mediterranean nation as well.

It is understood that they were introduced by mutual friends.

As a lifestyle enthusiast reflecting on my personal journey, I can confidently say that my partnership with Matthew is one of unity and strength – a formidable team, if you will.

Working alongside Matt feels incredibly straightforward as we constantly share our lives, making it effortless to address our true emotions. It’s a delight to collaborate with him.

Previously on Neighbors, the actress has had romantic connections with several well-known individuals, ranging from Nick Jonas, Brian McFadden, and tennis legend Mark Philippoussis.

On April 26, the artist famous for “The Innocent Eyes” celebrated her hen’s party in Sydney, surrounded by dear companions. Following this, she flew abroad to take part in an extravagant event.

In September 2023, the singer, known for keeping her personal affairs confidential, became engaged to Matthew, her long-time guitarist and creative partner, without revealing much about it publicly.

‘My best friend asked me to marry him,’ she giddily captioned the image, alongside a ring emoji.

The Born To Try hitmaker also shared footage of the precious moment to the social media platform.

Recently, Delta completed an exclusive run of shows in the UK to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of her legendary Mistaken Identity album. However, it was not only her voice that sparked conversation among the audience.
