Former Australia skipper Steve Smith and his long-time girlfriend Dani Willis have taken their relationship to a different level. The lovebirds tied the knot on Saturday (September 15).
Informing about his marriage to fans and followers, Smith took to Instagram and posted a picture with Dani. His caption for the adorable image read: “Today I got to Marry my best friend. What an absolutely incredible day. @dani_willis looked unbelievably beautiful.”
The wedding came more than a year after Smith got down on one knee and proposed Dani Willis on top of the famous Rockefeller Centre in New York.

Smith is currently serving a one-year ban imposed by Cricket Australia (CA) for his involvement in the ball-tampering plot against South Africa at Newlands in March. During this difficult phase, the banned Aussie cricketer has often thanked Dani for being his constant support system.
Besides Smith, CA had also imposed severe punishments on former Australia vice-captain David Warner and rookie opener Cameron Bancroft. While Warner was banned for one-year after he was found to be the chief instigator in the entire saga, Bancroft was barred from international cricket for a period of 9-month.
In its statement, Cricket Australia had also mentioned that the convicted trio will have to complete 100 hours of community service before being considered for future selection. While Smith and Bancroft will have to wait two years before they are considered for leadership roles, Warner will never again be considered for captaincy.
