"Yesterday we celebrated our love with an intimate ceremony in our backyard. 10 bloody years of marriage!" Zoe, 37, wrote alongside several photos of the event.

Of this moment she shared: "I had a moment where I sat in that room and truly felt how lucky we are,' she wrote emotionally. After the week from hell, having the people you love around you is all that matters. It felt so much sweeter last night."

Zoe continued: "Everything sentimental - our vows on the menus, photos of us over the years, candles for our loved ones who couldn't be with us."

Alongside several photos of the event, Zoe posted a video showing her performing a dance for her husband, the same dance she performed at their wedding in 2013.

Zoe revealed she had hired the same band who played the song at their wedding in 2013, Suite Az.

"His face when he hears the song start… This dress 10 years on and this song was our first dance which was choreographed and learnt over six weeks,' she wrote on Instagram alongside a video of the moment.

"Corny. Yes. The dress. Yes it fits. But not well enough for my signature dance moves. Mama can still drop it just not in this," she continued. "I could hardly move in it - you can tell from the dancing videos. Terrified it would split."

Front and centre at the celebration were Zoe and Benji's children Benjamin Fox and Ever J.

Zoe wore a wedding gown from Sphere Bridal Gallery before changing into the same custom-made Steven Khalili dress she wore in 2013 for the wedding dance. Following a ceremony in their backyard the couple hosted a reception at a restaurant in Gladesville, Sydney.

Zoe and Benji Marshall have spoken about their past traumas before meeting, with Zoe escaping an abusive relationship and Benji grieving the loss of the man he considered to be his father.

"We saved each other," Zoe told Who. "We've seen our therapist for 12 years together because we both knew how valuable it was and we had hang ups, we had trauma that we needed to heal together, or we were going to let all the toxic sh-t in."

Benji Marshall retired from NRL in October 2021 after a successful career with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
