Over a year on from their engagement, Cub Sport bandmates Tim Nelson and Sam Netterfield have tied the knot, officially getting married in a small ceremony in Brisbane over the weekend.
Back in July of 2017, Cub Sport’s Tim Nelson and Sam Netterfield announced to the world that they were engaged, before also calling on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to legalise same-sex marriage in Australia.
While speaking out frequently in support of same-sex marriage, Tim and Sam also shared their story with triple j last year, explaining just how they fell in love with each other.
We fell in love over the course of eight years,” explained Sam. “Since the end of high school, we just became the best of friends.”
“First year out of school, we worked and then we travelled together. All the while we’ve been in a band together.”
Tim explained that it was spending a month apart that made him realise just how strongly he felt for Sam. “It was the longest that we had been apart,” he explained. “I guess it was really the catalyst for me recognising that there was a reason I was so miserable when I wasn’t around Sam.”
Now, the pair have tied knot over the weekend, surrounded by family and friends in a small ceremony in Brisbane.
Tim and Sam also managed to raise a whopping $1,800 for LGBTIQ youth organisation Minus18 after accepting donations in lieu of gifts at their ceremony.
To help celebrate their new vows, Tim, Sam, and the rest of Cub Sport are set to hit the road next month when they support Vance Joy on his Nation Of Two Aussie tour. Check out the full range of tour dates below, and check out a bunch of wedding snaps as well.
