Former 'Home And Away' star Esther Anderson marries her longtime love

Former Home And Away star Esther Anderson has tied the knot with her fiance, Howard Moggs.

Esther was well known for playing resident policewoman Charlie Buckton on Home and Away, from 2008 until 2012 when her character was killed off.

According to the DailyMail, the couple, who currently live in LA, exchanged nuptials back home in Australia.

The romantic ceremony took place in Esther's hometown of Geelong, just outside of Melbourne.

'It was magic, just ridiculously beautiful and romantic,' the brunette beauty told New Idea in an exclusive interview.

'I have never been so happy in my whole life.'

Blushing bride Esther, who was the picture of elegance in a low-cut beaded gown by Israel bridal house Berta Bridal, was walked down the aisle by her father Jack after the pair arrived at stunning Terindah Estate on the Bellarine Peninsula in a cream vintage Jaguar.

Esther's maid of honour was her sister Lara Eldridge, and other guests included the actress's former cast mates, Tessa James, and Bernard Curry and Kimberly Cooper, who performed at her reception.

Before exchanging stunning Cartier rings, the groom broke down in tears as he watched his bride, 35, walk down the aisle.

'You are the proof that dreams come true,' he said in his vows. 'I look forward to every day because you are part of it.'

Esther and Howard got engaged last February on Valentine's Day.

She initially thought that when he suggested they take some champagne into their back garden, the pair were going to celebrate the purchase of their new house.

But she got a huge surprise when Howard got down on bended knee, surrounded by tealights at sunset.

'I thought it was a lovely way to celebrate our new home but suddenly he was down on one knee asking me to marry him,' she explains. 'I didn't see it coming at... I was speechless until I realised I hadn't said "yes".'
