An estimated 120 guests are expected to attend the nuptials, with Matildas teammates Mackenzie Arnold and Alanna Kennedy already sharing images of Perth beaches in the lead-up to the ceremony.
Mewis gave eager fans a sneak preview of the wedding festivities on Tuesday, sharing a carousel post on Instagram of her and Kerr in white — accompanied with the caption “Tomorrow”.
Fans were quick to flood the comments of Mewis’ post, expressing their excitement for “the royal wedding”.
“Your wedding will be so special,” one commenter wrote.
Another said: “Can’t believe it’s nearly royal wedding day!”
“To me, this is the wedding of the century,” another soccer fan wrote.
The couple have been together since 2021, with the duo announcing their engagement in late 2023.
Mewis previously gave fans a small glimpse into the highly-awaited nuptials on her podcast Mewis Squared, revealing teammates from both the Matildas and the United States national team would be in attendance.
“Talking to 120 people in one night is a lot — I’m stressing about not being able to give enough time to everyone,” she said.
The couple’s son Jagger Mewis-Kerr, who was born in May, will also play a special role at the wedding.
“(Jagger) is a little too young to have a role, but Sam is going to walk with him down the aisle which is very, very sweet,” she said
“That is going to be gut wrenching for me, I will sob when that happens.
“He is probably going to be wearing a little matching outfit with her, it’s going to be absolutely adorable.”
She also revealed the ceremony would not start until later in the evening, saying her and Kerr “want to celebrate New Year’s Eve with everyone”.
The couple’s honeymoon plans may be delayed however, with Kerr set to take the pitch with Chelsea on January 11.
