Hazlewood wed Cherina Murphy-Christian last Wednesday, in what Aaron Hazlewood said was a "small, sort of low-key wedding" attended by family and close friends including the likeable star's Bendemeer-based parents, Trevor and Anne.
Oxley High schoolmates of Hazlewood mingled with cricket internationals such Australian captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head.

Tamworth-based Aaron, who is also a fast bowler, and one of Hazlewood's schoolmates were members of the wedding party.
"The weather was great - couldn't have got a better day," Aaron said.
"It was really good to see him finally tie the knot to his high school sweetheart," he added.
The three-day event - which Aaron described as "well-planned" - included a round at the Cypress Lakes Golf and Country Club the day before the wedding.
"That also was a really good day ... It just added to how good a week it really was," he said.
A family lunch was held the day after the nuptials.
It couldn't have worked out any better.

Aaron said the three days "couldn't have worked out any better".
"Everything went to plan. It was a really special couple of days."
He continued: "We planned a few other things in and around it [the wedding].
"It's not very often everyone gets together in the same place, so we try to make the most of it when we can."
The Bendemeer-raised gun and Murphy-Christian were in the same year at Oxley High.

"She's been part of the family for a long time," Aaron said.
The Sydney-based couple had delayed their honeymoon, he also said, adding: "But I'm sure they'll plan something down the track a bit further when they've got some spare time."
