Australia cricketer Ricky ponting and wife Rianna are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary on Sunday, June 24.

The former Australia captain married law student Rianna Cantor at an exclusive harbour-front wedding on the same day in 2002.

A Wisden report says, “In 2002, Australia's one-day captain Ricky Ponting, 27, married Rianna Cantor, a 23-year-old law student, in Sydney. His father, Graeme, said Rianna was "a very special woman" who had helped give Ricky the maturity to lead the national team. A hundred guests dined on oysters and Tasmanian champagne at a reception paid for by a women's magazine in exchange for exclusive access."

The couple had met at a Melbourne restaurant on Boxing Day 2000. ‘I had no idea who he was,’ Rianna said. "I hate cricket with a passion."

According to Wikipedia, their first daughter Emmy Charlotte was born in Sydney on 26 July 2008, while their second daughter Matisse Ellie was born in Sydney on 8 September 2011.
