Selwood #Selwood
Geelong Cats star Joel Selwood married special needs teacher Brit Davis in a lavish ceremony last year.
But on Monday, Brit revealed how a crisis almost destroyed their ‘perfect’ wedding.
She told the You and Me podcast: ‘If you speak to our wedding planner, Laura, there was a very, very near miss that probably would have turned the wedding the opposite way.’

Brit explained: ‘We nearly had a bit of a fire, I don’t even know what happened, but she dealt with it and I didn’t even know until the next day.
‘So she was running around like a headless chook, but I didn’t know a thing.’
The fire aside, Brit said every detail of her wedding was perfect and that she wouldn’t change a thing.
