FORMER Guantanamo Bay inmate David Hicks has married girlfriend Aloysia Brooks in a secret ceremony north of Sydney.

The couple tied the knot at Terrey Hills in Sydney on Saturday night.

David's father Terry, who travelled from Adelaide for the event, said he was pleased his son was now able to begin living a normal life.

"We are grateful that things are going along an even line and he can get on and hopefully be left alone," he said.

Major Michael Mori, the former US military defence lawyer for Mr Hicks, was also spotted at the weekend wedding in the northern Sydney suburb of Terrey Hills, the newspaper said.

Mr Hicks, who pleaded guilty to a charge of supporting terrorism, was held at the US military detention centre in Cuba for more than five years after being captured in Afghanistan in December 2001.

In March 2007, under a plea bargain, he was sentenced to seven years' jail but ordered to serve only nine months with the rest of his sentence suspended.

He returned to Australia and was released from Adelaide's Yatala Jail more 18 months ago.

Mr Hicks met Aloysia after he moved to Sydney last year.
