LEWIS FAMILY HEARTBREAK OVER WALLY'S WHITE WEDDING

While the rugby league star tied the knot, his children were MIA

- 

Wally Lewis declared it was the “happiest day of his life” as he wed his love Lynda Adams the day after Anzac Day in a no-expenses spared bridal extravaganza.

Behind the scenes, though, Woman's Day reveals that the footy legend's three grown-up children spent the better part of the day enjoying family time with their mum Jacqui. Sons Mitchell, 38, Lincoln, 37, and daughter Jamie-Lee, 34, chose not to attend the over-the-top nuptials, despite their famous dad reportedly pleading with them to reconsider and support him on his big day.

MISSING CHILDREN

In fact, at the very moment Wally, 65, and Lynda made their way down the aisle at St Mary's Anglican Church at St Mary's Anglican Church in Brisbane's Kangaroo Point, just a short five-minute drive away, youngest son Lincoln was attending an Australian Tourism Exchange event at the city’s nearby Convention Centre. “So honoured to be the MC today for this year’s Tourism @australia ATE,” the actor posted to Instagram.
