They reportedly exchanged vows in the presence of family and friends on Spencer's Glen Affric estate.

Spencer's brother James stepped up as best man and gave a reading during the ceremony.

The groom looked utterly dapper in a three-piece midnight blue suit from Tony Lutwyche.

According to Hello!, Vogue was a vision in a Paul Costello off-white, silk, V-neck wedding dress.

And as for the wedding cake (the highlight of any reception), the guests feasted on a three-tier sponge featuring buttercream frosting with fresh fruit.

It sounds like a dream. Now the parents-to-be have the arrival of their first child in August to look forward to.

Congrats to Vogue and Spencer!

Get your pride flags out! 

The Royals are leaving their fabulous mark on the history books.

He to due to tie the knot with his long-term partner, James Coyle.

Speaking to the Daily Mail about the historic nuptials the dad said: 

"I really wanted to do it for James. He hasn't been married. For me, what's interesting is I don't need to get married because I've been there, done that and have my wonderful children; but I'm pushing it because I think it's important for him. James hasn't had the stable life I have. I want to be able to give you that."

The marriage is expected to take place in the private chapel on Lord Ivar's country estate in Devon, later this summer.

During the ceremony, he will be given away by his ex-wife, Penny.

Lord Ivar has three daughters with his ex-wife. 

The dad-of-three opened up to the Daily Mail about his children's reaction to the news:

"When I mentioned it to our eldest daughter, Ella, she said, 'Oh Pap, it's not a big deal. It's so normal nowadays'. Of course that generation, they're completely cool about the concept of this…We'll be pronounced partners in marriage, but the ceremony itself will be very small. It's just for the girls and close family and friends.

We can't wait to see the pictures!

Love was quite literally in the air this week when whe two air stewards had their marriage officiated by Pope Francis during a flight to Chile.

Paula Podest, 39, and Carlos Ciufardi, 41, who have been together for 10 years, were both working as flight attendants on the Catholic leader's plane when the idea struck.

The pair, who have two children together, have been civilly married since 2010 and had been planning to hold a religious ceremony.

However, their plans were halted after the church they had planned to marry in was damaged in a earthquake.

After explaining their circumstances, Pope Francis offered to officiate their marriage there and then – 36,000 feet above sea level.

“What he said to us is very important: ‘This is the sacrament the world needs, the sacrament of marriage’,” Ciufardi told reporters.

“Hopefully this will motivate couples around the world to get married.”

A photo released by The Vatican shows a handwritten document, signed by the Pope, validating the couple's marriage.

Twitter users were quick to congratulate the happy couple and commend Pope Francis for his kind act. 

Talk about taking love to new heights…

2018 looks set to be the year of celebrity romance, as yet another famous couple announce they have tied the knot.

Ricky Martin revealed that he married his partner, Jwan Yose, telling E! News, “I'm a husband!”

The singer and actor confirmed the exciting news at the premier of his new TV show, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, earlier this week.

The 46-year-old plays the role of Versace's partner Antonio D'Amico, in an episode that explores the 1997 murder of the fashion designer.

 

I️ love this man. #Khallas!

Although the star did not disclose the date of the wedding, he told reporters that the pair plan to hold a three-day celebration in the coming months.

“We exchanged vows and we’ve sweared everything and we’ve signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything.”

Ricky and Josef confirmed their relationship in 2016, six years after the singer publicly came out.

The pair got engaged later that year.

Ricky, who is also a father to nine-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino, recently told Out magazine there is a “beautiful sense of freedom” that come with being part of a “modern family.”

Is it just us or is everyone and their mother getting engaged this month?

As a wise Hugh Grant once said, Love actually is all around this festive season, and while the tiniest part of us is trying desperately hard not to be bitter, most of us are just loving all the cute proposal videos doing the rounds.

And this might just be our favourite yet…

Last week, Gavin James helped his friend Rob pull off one of the most romantic marriage proposals of the year.

The singer-songwriter took some time out from his busy to film himself singing a few bars of the festive classic Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas before informing the future bride that her partner had an important question he wanted to ask.

Oh course, she said yes, and Rob took to Twitter to thank Gavin for all his help.

Congratulations are in order for the happy couple!

Earlier this year, P!nk explained that she has had to tackle some very delicate issues with her six-year-old daughter, Willow.

While accepting the 2017 Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards. the singer revealed that her oldest child considered herself ugly.

"I look like a boy with long hair," Willow told her mother.

Stunned by both her daughter's candour and lack of self-belief, P!nk decided to use world-famous artists to teach her daughter that refusing to follow the crowd when it comes to a gender-specific appearance is something to celebrate.

As P!nk explained in her speech, her approach seemed to work, and Willow is now growing up in a 'label-less' house – something the singer feels is a benefit to her daughter.

Speaking recently to The Mirror, the singer reaffirmed: "We are a very label-less household. Last week, Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like, 'Great!'"

"And we are going to live with you while our house is getting ready," Willow warned her mum.

However, Willow's family home isn't the only place where diversity is celebrated P!nk added, before recognising her child's school attempts at contributing to the conversation.

"The bathroom outside the kindergarten said, 'Gender Neutral, Anybody,' and it was a drawing of many different shapes," the What About Us said.

"I took a picture of it and I wrote: 'Progress.' I thought that was awesome. I love that kids are having this conversation."

"This debate has been the soundtrack to our relationship," so said Australian MP, Tim Wilson, while addressing his partner, Ryan Bolger, in the Australian House of Representative today.

Referring to the same-sex marriage debate which had been been raging in Australia prior to the country's vote to legalise it last month, Wilson was present to contribute to legislation, and used his platform to ask one very significant question.

Visibly emotional. Wilson reflected on their journey together – both personally and professionally – before proposing to his partner.

"In my first speech I defined our bond by the ring that sits on both of our left hands. They are the answer to the question we cannot ask," Wilson said.

"So there’s only one thing left to do; Ryan Patrick Bolger, will you marry me?”

Ladies, prepare yourselves for this one.

As Hollywood couples go, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are among our favourites.

And one of the reasons we adore them so much is because they don't pretend to be perfect.

From disclosing she sometimes finds marriage difficult to revealing that she regularly attends couple's therapy with Dax, Kristin refuses to sugarcoat the reality of her relationship for the press and public.

And recently, she went one step further by admitting she struggles with the concept of monogamy.

"I'm quite positive we are not meant to be monogamous. It's difficult, and it requires a lot of attention, vulnerability, and openness," she said during an interview with Men's Journal.

Elaborating on this 'openness', Kristen explains that Dax is more than happy to speak up when it comes to what he needs of their four-year marriage.

Kristen celebrates this trait as she believes open communication prevents the possibility of infidelity.

"He's very open about what he needs to stay satisfied in our relationship, because if one partner isn't satisfied, you just kiss it goodbye; somebody's going to stray," she argued.

"He's very direct about his emotions and I'm grateful for that because it lets me in on the way he thinks as far as tending to our marriage— when we should go to therapy, when we have to be better at intimacy, all those things in order to meet each other's needs."

Kristen and Dax, who share two children together, have been together since 2007.

According to The Sun, the couple tied the knot in front of close family and friends at Remenham Church near their home in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon.

A source close to the pair reportedly told the paper: “They wanted a very small, personal affair, with their daughter Mabel, family and close friends rather than a circus. It was a lovely occasion. Mabel was guest of honour.”

Guests at the service included Noel Gallagher, Jonathan Ross and Laura's presenter sister, Kirsty Gallacher.

Russell is said to have spent £2,300 to hire a New Orleans paddle steamer to transport guests to an Indian-themed wedding reception.

The pair, who have known each other since 2007, began their romantic relationship in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Mabel, in November 2016.

The British comedian famously married singer, Katy Perry, in 2010, however their relationship quickly broke down leading to a speedy divorce in July 2012.

Once know for his womanizing ways, Russell has been keeping a low profile since becoming a father for the first time.

Previously speaking of fatherhood, Russell said: “It’s the most wonderful thing. To have something outside of yourself that’s more important than you. Other than West Ham United.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!

In a rare glimpse into the personal lives of one of the world's most famous power couples, Jay-Z has admitted his marriage to Beyoncé 'wasn't built on 100 per cent truth'.

During a sit-down conversation with Chris Rock, Will Smith, Kendrick Lamar and Jesse Williams that was streamed on Tidal, Jay opened up about about relationships in the public eye.

He said: "This is my real life. I just ran into this place and we built this big, beautiful mansion of a relationship that wasn’t totally built on the 100 percent truth and it starts cracking."

"Things start happening that the public can see. Then we had to get to a point of 'OK, tear this down and let’s start from the beginning.' It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done."

The rapper went on to explain how he wanted to make things work.

"We’ve been in that space where we just got to the place that in order for this to work, it can’t be fake – not once. I’m not saying it wasn’t uncomfortable because obviously it was, but because we’ve been doing it for so long it was less uncomfortable."

The admission comes after the release of his latest album 4:44, in which he appears to confirm allegations that he had been unfaithful in his marriage.

In the title track, Jay seems to apologise for this actions, saying it took the couple's daughter, Blue Ivy, to make him him realise the severity of his actions.

He raps: "I apologise, often womanise, took my child to be born, see through a woman’s eyes. Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles. Took me too long for this song. I don’t deserve you."

Since the album's release, Jay-Z has not been in the good books with the Beyhive – and we can't imagine his latest admission is going to help him in that department. 

But regardless of what we think, the couple seem to have moved on from the drama and are instead working together to raise their family.

A recent study by the University of Washington's School of Social Work, has revealed that married same-sex couples enjoy a higher quality of life than single LGBT adults.

In 2014, 1,800 LGBT people over the age of 50 were surveyed in the 32 states of America where same-sex marriage was already legal at the time.

Of those who took part, one quarter were married, one quarter were in long-term relationships and the remainder were single.  

The results were published to Eurekalert last week.

The research revealed that in general, participants in relationships (married or long-term), showed better health outcomes than those who were single, with those who were married faring even better, socially and financially.

The study also found that single LGBT adults were more likely to have a disability and reported lower physical, psychological, social and environmental quality of life.

It is thought that the tax exemptions, and social benefits enjoyed by married couples may be a contributing factor. 

As same-sex marriage was only legalised in Ireland and across the United Sates in 2015, research on the subject is quite limited, however, researchers say they will continue to examine the influence same-sex marriage has on the health and well-being of the LGBT community.

Are you looking for love, or simply want to get your current lover down the aisle? Well, we may just have your answer. 

According to Emily Popp, Deputy Editor at HelloGiggles, she got a gift last year from her brother and his girlfriend that was meant to help her land a husband.

No, it was not a subscription to a dating site – it was a lipstick (we're not joking).

The lipstick was from Estée Lauder's Pure Colour Crystal collection, and apparently the ingredients are renowned in Japan for magical matchmaking powers. 

On Estée Lauder's Japanese Website, the review comments are filled with women who swear the pink lippy led to their engagement. 

Incase you're wondering, there are no official "rules" to how often you need to wear the lipstick or when to wear it "for best results."

We have to admit, we are not at ALL convinced by this whole concept, but it makes for some interesting reading, right?

Maybe the placebo effect is factor — if you believe it works, you may find yourself with a ring in no time.
