MAGPIES were flying high at the Port Melbourne Yacht Club yesterday as Josh Fraser tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Kylie Sutcliffe.

"The nerves weren't as bad as they might have looked," Fraser said at the reception.

"I'm more nervous before a game, actually."

The who's who of Collingwood football club were at the ceremony and club president Eddie McGuire congratulated the newlyweds and said it was a fantastic day.

McGuire said Fraser had held a special place in his heart as the ruckman was the No. 1 draft pick when McGuire started as club president in 1999.

"It's starting to make me feel old," McGuire said when arriving with wife Carla and former captain Scott Burns, who had flown in especially from Perth for the event.

"He is a great fella and a very lucky man to have Kylie as his wife."

Coach Mick Malthouse said the wedding was a long time in the making and congratulated Fraser and his new wife.

Wives and girlfriends wearing bright colours, strappy shoes and spray-on tans were kicking goals as the Magpie girls swarmed into the event.

Guests included Brodie Holland, Nick Maxwell, Shane O'Bree, Jason Cloke, Simon Prestigiacomo and former captain Nathan Buckley.

Fraser said the couple planned to spend their honeymoon relaxing in Queensland for a week before coming back for pre-season training.

You know, I couldn't be happier for Fraser. It's good to see him happy. But, what I don't understand is why we need to have a news article everytime a sportsman gets married. Give them some space!

My point in this one is...

Check out the difference in height lol.

Fraser was 1st pick in 99 when Eddie started the same year.
