JLS singer Aston Merrygold has married his fiance Sarah Lou Richards after a five-year engagement.
The couple have been together for ten years and share two children.
The 34-year-old former boyband star got engaged to Sarah, 36, on Christmas Day 2017 and the happy couple announced they had tied the knot on Wednesday.
They shared a black and white photo which showed Sarah's hand on top of Aston with their wedding rings taking pride of prominence in the frame.
The newly married couple captioned the snap: "Husband and Wife #MrandMrsMerrygold."
Aston's fans and their celebrity friends were soon congratulating them on the big news.
TV presenter Rochelle Humes, who is married to Aston's JLS bandmate Marvin, led the way by commenting on the Instagram post: "Dream team"
Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh also shared her love for the occasion, writing: "Ahhhhh congratulations"
Aston's other bandmate, JB Gill, commented: "Beaaaaaaautiful! Love this news and HERE for the floating!! welcome to the club Team Merrygold."
Sarah was a backup dancer for JLS leading her to meet Aston, over a decade ago.
The couple were initially planning to marry a couple of years ago but the coronavirus pandemic meant they they had to put those plans on hold.
Aston and Sarah already share two children, sons Grayson, four, and Macaulay, two.
Aston and Sarah initially wanted a low-key wedding but they decided to supersize it after Covid kept them away from friends and family.
"I would have been happy with a register office and Sarah would have too, but we both realised during Covid that we want our wedding to be a party," he explained.
"We want to celebrate with all our loved ones. The JLS boys have all got special roles to play on the day, although I haven’t told them what they are yet."
The couple are thought to have had 150 people on the guest list.
In July, Aston told The Mirror: “JLS boys have their duties for the day but none of them are my best men.
"My two little boys are going to take that role, and then one of my best friends since I was 13. I’ve put a few feelers out there to performers to see if anyone is available and I’m still waiting to hear.
“Adele would be pretty good. She has a lot of heartbreak songs, but I’m sure she can put a spin on some of them.
“It would be very expensive to book JLS. Maybe there will be a couple of tunes if I can persuade them to jump on the mic. Karaoke is a must at a wedding – when everyone is absolutely battered.”
