Dr Harry Cooper marries partner in sweet ceremony
Dr Harry Cooper, best known for his time on Better Homes and Gardens, has married his long-term partner, Susan “Suze” Sheeran, in a ceremony ten years in the making.
The couple shared exclusive photos of their special day with Woman’s Day, telling the publication it was a day they waited their whole lives for.
“It was a magical day and I wouldn’t change a thing!” Sheeran told the publication.
“I’ve waited all my life for this bloke … he’s a real genuine person - what you see is what you get.”
Cooper and Sheeran tied the knot at their 125-acre property in Port Macquarie earlier this month, with just 42 of their closest friends and family joining them for the intimate ceremony.
Sheeran glowed in her white lace gown, with Cooper complementing her look with his cream two-piece suit and panama hat and a four-legged friend joining them for the ceremony.
“It was Suze’s idea to have Wendy in the wedding, our 12-year-old black Australian stock horse mare, as our ring-bearer,” Cooper explained.
“We got Wendy at Christmas time for her to ride.”
Sheeran added: “She was dressed up in roses … it was just wonderful.”
The Better Homes and Gardens vet admitted he teared up when he saw his bride coming down the aisle.
“She was just stunning … I’m all choked up just thinking about it,” he told Woman’s Day.
The 78-year-old also recalled the moment he first laid eyes on Sheeran, saying it was love at first sight when they met at a friend’s backyard barbecue.
“I saw a blonde lady sitting down at the end of the table … and I thought she was so good looking,” Cooper said cheekily.
“Our friends disappeared swimming and we weren’t prepared for that, so we got talking and had a lot in common.
“She’s very caring, she’s so hardworking and I’m so lucky to call myself her husband.”
“We just connected - we clicked straight away,” Sheeran added.
