Throughout the season of The Amazing Race Australia 2025, Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills made it clear that if they won, they’d get officially married on the mat. Unfortunately for them — and for us as viewers — Georgie and Rob came a close second to the Curry brothers, and we missed out on the first The Amazing Race wedding ever.
During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Georgie and Rob revealed just how close the wedding was to happening.
“We were just chatting [to producers] in the pre-interviews. And, people always ask us — which is lovely, legitimately —when are you guys getting married? And I was like, ‘Hey, if we win The Amazing Race and we win $100,000 for the Australian Children’s Music Foundation, we’ll get married.’ Because what could be better than that? And then the closer we got, we’re like, ‘Are we going to actually get married?'” Georgie explained.
“It was wild, but as we progressed, we’re like, ‘No, yep, that’s going to happen’. The producers were taking it seriously, like Beau had a full script in case we got married, in case we won. They got us rings that we have. There was this huge bouquet, which I saw after,” she added.
“We were like, ‘No, sorry guys, we did not win’ because they were prepping like we could have won, because we were the favourites heading into that last round.”
Georgie added that if they’d reached the mat first, host Beau Ryan was ready to officiate their wedding.
“Beau had done a three-hour online course, and we’re like, ‘We’re so sorry, Beau, because we didn’t win and we made you sit there and do all that’, but yeah, he was ready. So yeah, we were going to get married by Beau Ryan in Java.”
However, in hindsight, Rob added that their parents probably wouldn’t have been “furious” at them for saying “I do” in Java without them there.
Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny’s wedding plans
Rob and Georgie got engaged back in 2021 during a road trip in Sydney. The couple told Chattr that although their Amazing Race wedding was only moments from happening, they’re yet to make any firm plans for their actual big day.
“We think next year, next year could be the year, but we haven’t made any plans. And I hear that’s really important with weddings,” Georgie joked, with Rob added, “Apparently, you have to plan them.”
Georgie explained that part of the allure of getting married on The Amazing Race was the fact that they wouldn’t have to play into part in planning their own wedding.
“This is another part of the thing, because it would have been great to get away with the wedding and not plan anything and have, like, a full production team figure it out,” she said.
However, Rob added that despite not getting a televised wedding on The Amazing Race, the show’s producers are still keen to help them plan their big day.
“So at the end of the race, after the drinks, so many of the segment producers, or the challenge producers, came up and said, if you need us to progress, to plan anything for you, let us know.”
