Julian Assange has married his lawyer fiancée Stella Moris in Belmarsh prison, in London on Wednesday.
The WikiLeaks founder, 50, remains behind bars in the high-security jail after he was dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in the capital.
Moris stepped out in her bridal dress, designed by Dame Vivienne Westwood, and her elaborate veil as she was spotted outside the prison.
Colourful words - such as ardent and wilful - were embroidered into her veil which added a touch of drama to her look.
Westwood also designed a kilt for the groom.
Four guests and two witnesses were allowed to attend the ceremony, as well as two security guards, the bride said.
Guests had to leave once the ceremony is over, despite the wedding taking place in normal visiting hours.
Supporters gathered outside of the prison to celebrate the wedding.
The couple, who have two children, will pay for the cost of the prison ceremony.
Moris said: “Obviously we are very excited, even though the circumstances are very restrictive. All the guests and witnesses must leave as soon as the ceremony is over, even though that will be before normal visiting time ends.
“Julian is looking forward to the wedding because it is finally happening, many months after we first made the request.”
A Prison Service spokesperson said: “All weddings in prisons must meet the requirements outlined in the Prison Service policy.”
Photography for prison weddings is carried out by jail staff, in line with guidance on “established national policy on photographing prisoners”.
It added: “The relevant policy makes clear the governor can block images being taken if it is believed they will be shared publicly, which can compromise prison security. Accordingly, photos will be taken by prison staff.”
In October, Moris gushed over the first time she met Assange as she said he was “unlike anyone” she had ever met with his “very intense gaze”.
She told The Guardian: “He had a very intense gaze. He didn’t do small talk. He wanted to know where I was coming from. The day I met him, we spoke for two hours. I told him about my life. Julian is unlike anyone I have ever met.”
“He is very direct, engaging, clever, curious.” She added.
Last year, Assange was given permission to get married.
It is just weeks away from the third anniversary of his arrest.
He continues to fight his extradition to the United States where he is wanted over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Assange has always denied wrongdoing and he has won support for his case from human rights organisations as well as journalist groups across the world.
