Australian author Sean Williams and Amanda Nettelbeck were married on 19 May 2007.
Of the ceremony itself, Williams commented on three memorable music moments. “The first: walking in to Queen’s wedding march from the soundtrack to Flash Gordon. The second: Amanda and I performing an impromptu bridal waltz to Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love?” The third: interpretive dancing to Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek” at the end of the night.
Williams is the winner of six Aurealis and six Ditmar awards. Dr. Nettlebeck is an associate professor in English and Associate Dean International for the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at The University of Adelaide.
