While it appeared that the foursome did not arrive together, Garry and Billy, 58 were spotted chatting as they stood in a local cafe.

Garry meanwhile was also looking much more casual than he was the previous night when he was seen leaving for the nuptials Dressed eerily similar tor his former best matte, Garry wore a plain beige T-shirt and a pair of similarly coloured shorts. He, too finished his casual look with a navy blue cap that featured a gold crab insignia. He also wore a pair of dark sunglasses, suggesting that he wasn't staying, or just popping in to say 'hi'.

Billy's daughter Lucy was also in attendance, flaunting her trim and toned pins in a sleeveless light brown dress. The trio were spotted sharing a laugh and a good chat as they sat at the table enjoying their breakfast.

While no images of Ruby and Josh's nuptials have surfaced yet, Ruby took to Instagram on Friday to celebrate the start of 'wedding week'. 'It's wedding week,' the daughter of AFL great Billy Brownless beamed, as she posed on a wharf with her Western Bulldogs beau for a few pre-wedding snaps in a breathtaking backless dress. US country singer Zac Bryan, 28, suited up for the occasion, as the plus one of Ruby's close friend — and his new girlfriend — Hannah Duncan, 27.

'Gonna delete 30 beers,' the Something in the Orange crooner captioned a selfie from Friday evening. Meanwhile Ruby's sister Lucy happily played the role of excited camera woman, as she captured the special moments unfolding at sunset for social media.

Their mother Nicky Brownless, 58, looked positively radiant in golden hour light as she posed for a photo solo. Garry controversially went public with Nicky, who is the ex-wife of his former AFL Footy Show co-host Billy, in 2016. Garry blindsided his best mate by starting a relationship with his wife of 18 years, just 12 months after they separated.

The bombshell falling-out between the former best mates stunned the footy world after Lyon split from his wife Melissa, ran off with Nicky and later moved in with her and Billy's four children, Lucy, Ruby, Oscar and Max. The Brownlesses' 18-year marriage didn't survive the stunning turn of events and the Cats legend has given several raw accounts of how badly Lyon's actions hurt him, at one stage confessing he had 'a bit of hatred' for the Melbourne Demons icon. A month after the shattering news broke, he bluntly said 'a good mate wouldn't do that' before sensationally confessing he believed Garry and Nicky's secret relationship could have been going on for years.

The former mates appeared to bury the hatchet in 2020 when Billy joined Nicky, their children and Lyon to celebrate Christmas.
