Cartwright and Hewitt were married on 21 July 2005. The event was shrouded in secrecy, with reports of guests being required to sign confidentiality agreements. Despite this, they chose very public venues for the wedding (Sydney Opera House) and reception (Taronga Zoo). As a result, it was given much media attention.
