Kyle Sandilands is suited, booted and ready to say ‘I do’ as he prepares to tie the knot with fiancée Tegan Kynaston this afternoon.
The radio host, 51, looked dapper as he posed alongside his groomsmen in photos shared exclusively with Daily Mail Australia.
He was joined by nightclub identity John Ibrahim, his manager Bruno Bouchet, and convicted drug smuggler Simon Main, who is the best man.
The groomsmen wore navy morning suits complete with pale blue ties and white floral lapels, while Sandilands distinguished his outfit with a vest.
Sandilands’ suit also stood out with his family crest embroidered on the chest. His baby son Otto will be wearing a similar emblem during the ceremony.

Sandilands spoke out in defence of his controversial best man Simon Main as he prepared for his wedding to fiancée Tegan Kynaston this morning at the InterContinental hotel in Sydney’s Double Bay.
Mr Main, who once worked as Liza Minnelli’s personal assistant, was jailed in Italy in 2000 over his role in attempting to shift 333,000 ecstasy pills worth $10million.
Having a convicted drug trafficker serve as Sandilands’ chief groomsman has raised questions of whether it is appropriate for NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to attend the wedding as high-profile guests.
This criticism has mostly stemmed from Liberal politicians, the ABC and gossip columnist Andrew Hornery, who is known to dislike Sandilands immensely.
The radio host, 51, who was seen arriving solo at the InterContinental at about 9am, told Daily Mail Australia: ‘These are my friends. My mate did something stupid 25 years ago. What, he has to be condemned for the rest of his life?’

‘[Main] gets embarrassed for me and I said, “I don’t give a f**k.” My friends are my friends and they’re the most honest, solid people I’ve ever met,’ he added.
‘I’ve met plenty of people over my life that have promised this and that, then been complete charlatans.
‘These guys are true men of their word and that’s why they’re my lifelong friends.’
Sandilands officially kicked off his wedding preparations this morning as he’s set to marry his fiancée Kynaston in the afternoon.
