Former Celtic ace Ryan Christie got married to long-term love Georgie Bell
And newly released pics from the glitzy bash show the couple couldn't hide their delight as they posed for pics with Ryan's sister Paige, 27.
The Georgian house at the grand Somerley Estate in Hampshire served as a filming location for then Prince Charles's country retreat Highgrove House in the show.
And the location just outside Bournemouth was also used for scenes in the first season of racy period drama Bridgerton.
The wedding is thought to have taken place at the end of June.
But Georgie - who is co-director of a property empire with the Inverness-born midfielder - posted pictures of the big day on her Instagram page earlier this week.
The ace wore a kilt for the occasion. While Georgie stunned in a traditional white wedding dress for the ceremony, which pictures show was held outdoors in front of friends and family.
Posting the snaps, she said: 'An assortment of random wedding chaos, impossible to file in order thanks to high levels of excitement.'
One pal said: 'Congratulations gorgeous. Amazing pics. You're such a beautiful bride.'
A picture was posted of the pair by relative Paige Christie, who said: 'The most amazing weekend. So lucky and grateful to have you guys as my family.'
Laura Taylor, wife of former Celtic player and Scotland international, Greg Taylor, revealed pictures from the event on her Instagram.
She added: 'The Christies. A beautiful Scottish weekend in sunny Bourney.'
A snap shows the happy couple in a group shot with numerous men in kilts, including Greg, 27, and Christie's pal and fellow Scotland international Stuart Armstrong, 33.
Kris Ajer, 27, of Brentford and ex-Rangers and Aberdeen star Scott Wright, 27, of Birmingham City, also wore the traditional garb.
Hamilton Accies midfielder Charlie Telfer, 30, who played alongside Armstrong at Dundee United also posed up with the happy couple.
The pair, who have two-year-old son Leo, got engaged in January 2022.
At the time talented artist Georgie, of Tomatin, Inverness-shire, shared the happy news on Instagram with a series of tearful snaps, and a message that read:
She wrote: 'I can't imagine my life without you, and now I don't have to. I love you beyond words.'
Christie was English Premier League club Bournemouth's player of the season.

Antony Cotton pays tribute after 'much-loved' Corrie colleague dies aged 38
Coronation Street star Antony Cotton has paid tribute to a 'much-loved' colleague following his death. Matthew Owens worked behind the scenes on several stunt blocks for the ITV soap as a fire safety advisor, where he and Antony met in 2013. The Sean Tully actor took to Instagram to share a picture of the order of service from the funeral, alongside an emotional caption. 'Today was a very hard day for so many people, especially Matt's family,' he wrote. 'I still can't quite get my head round it, to be honest. Matt was just a really, really nice lad. 'We met when he did the fire safety for a stunt block at Coronation Street, 13 years ago and we've been friends ever since. 'He was a much loved son, brother, dad, colleague and partner. He was also a quiet and humble, solid friend. 'I'll miss hearing from you Matt, out of the blue sometimes, but always with a smile. You are at rest now, no more worries Matty Boy.' Alongside his work as a firefighter, Matt worked on numerous high-profile TV series, including other soaps like Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. He began working on Emmerdale in 2011, and was involved in some huge stunts, including the helicopter crash and the Hotten bypass crash. More Trending His first stunt on Coronation Street was the Rovers Return fire in 2013, and most recently he worked on the dramatic Halloween episodes in 2021. These episodes saw Abi Webster (Sally Carman) face off with her son's killer, Corey Brent, while Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) was held hostage by gangster Harvey Gaskell.

Legendary jockey Kieren Fallon tips ‘overlooked' superstar to stun them all in £1.5million King George
Victory would see the horse smash the £11million career earnings mark ROM COM Legendary jockey Kieren Fallon tips 'overlooked' superstar to stun them all in £1.5million King George Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEGENDARY jockey Kieren Fallon has tipped an 'overlooked' superstar to stun them all in Saturday's £1.5million King George. The blockbuster Ascot Group 1 is being billed as a mouthwatering rematch between Coronation Cup 1-2 Jan Brueghel and Calandagan. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Rebel's Romance ridden by William Buick on their way to winning the Hardwicke Stakes during day five of Royal Ascot Credit: PA Aidan O'Brien's runner got the better of the French raider that day but the market has Calandagan reversing the form this time. Nestled behind them in the betting is Andrew Balding's Kalpana, who will get 3lb from the big boys. But Fallon, who won the King George on Golan in 2002, is happy to bypass the market leaders and go for one at an each-way price, even if bookies are only paying two places. The six-time champion jockey is drawn to the chances of globetrotting sensation and 6-1 fancy Rebel's Romance. The Charlie Appleby-trained, Godolphin-owned hero has won more than £10m in his career and finished first in three of four races this year. Most recent of those was his Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes victory at Royal Ascot. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes odds Saturday's feature will pit the best of the best against each over 1m4f. Here's how the bookies currently have it... 13-8 Calandagan 7-4 Jan Brueghel 9-2 Kalpana 6-1 Rebel's Romance 12-1 Lambourn 16-1 Whirl 33-1 Green Impact 100-1 Continuous Not only did that salvage what was turning into a disastrous week for Appleby, but it confirmed he loves the Berkshire track in the summer. Fallon reckons everything points towards conditions suiting again on Saturday. And he thinks Rebel's Romance, despite being three years older than Jan Brueghel and Calandagan, has plenty of miles left in the tank. He said on Sky Sports Racing: "I would love to ride Rebel's Romance - he's a monster, a beautiful, big, genuine horse. "He's coming into the race strong after his Royal Ascot win. "His confidence will be very high." Former jockey Seb Sanders agreed that Rebel's Romance was 'overlooked' in the market. Fallon added: "Jan Brueghel is tough but I think Rebel's Romance, if he turns up, is going to be a hard horse to beat. "He looks amazing, is lightly raced and is doing everything right at home. "After his last run he will only improve, he didn't have a hard race and it was a confidence booster for him."

Kelly Osbourne revealed feelings of ‘impending doom' in eerie post just weeks before late dad Ozzy's final gig and death
KELLY Osbourne spoke about feeling "impending doom" just a few weeks before her dad Ozzy's death. The mum appeared to predict life would change "forever" very soon in a sad post that has stunned fans. 5 Kelly Osbourne predicted life would change forever just a few weeks before her dad's death 5 She said she had a feeling of 'impending doom' Credit: Instagram / kellyosbourne 5 Kelly pictured with her Black Sabbath star dad in 2014 Credit: Reuters The 40-year-old TV star opened up to fans on her Instagram story as her toddler yapped away in the background. Kelly was travelling with her son Sydney when she admitted she had an eerie feeling that had been lingering all day. Wearing sunglasses and her earphones, she told the camera: "On my way to the hotel in London and I keep having this feeling of impending doom that life as we know it has forever changed now. "Are we just holding onto something for a few more seconds before it completely disappears?" A fan reposted the video on TikTok where it racked up thousands of likes and comments. One shared: "Oh my she was feeling it." Another suggested: "We know when it's time for our loved ones to go." The rock legend died on Tuesday in Buckinghamshire with Sharon, his wife of 43 years and mum to their children Aimee, Jack and Kelly, by his side. His sisters today broke their silence on his death, calling the legendary rocker "our John". They received the heartbreaking news he had passed away in a phone call yesterday. Watch emotional moment Ozzy Osbourne speak about amazing life with Sharon in resurfaced moment from The Osbournes as rocker tragically dies 'He was frail but it still came as a shock,' Jean said. 'He still had plans and things he wanted to do. We don't know the details of his death, it's still too early. It's just so sad. I'm just thankful he died in England." Speaking to The Mirror today, she continued: 'We last saw him at the concert at Villa Park. I got a text off him as he drove down Lodge Road, where we used to live near the stadium. 'He said he couldn't believe all the crowds were walking down our old street to watch him perform. He was blown away. 'We had an executive box in the stadium, and when I saw the sea of people waiting to see our John I just broke down. 'We didn't really get a chance to chat much because it was such a chaotic visit. But in his last text to me he said he would be coming to Birmingham again. 'He said 'I can't wait to come back'. We were hoping to see him this week.' Of his five siblings, Ozzy is survived by Jean, Gillian and his brother Paul. Ozzy, who had Parkinson's disease, spent his final months filming a documentary about his family's return to the UK. The BBC One docuseries, which would have featured Sharon, Kelly and Jack, was tragically never finished. A source said: 'The filming was on and off again so many times, mainly because of Ozzy's health.' A showman until the very end, Ozzy bravely battled with his health problems to perform short sets of solo material and Sabbath classics. He sang from a gothic throne befitting his status as the Godfather of metal, and at times appeared desperate to climb onto his feet. A source told The Sun: 'Ozzy was having singing lessons almost every day in preparation for his last show wanting to go out with a bang. 'He was in constant pain and had nurses tending to him around the clock but was determined to play this last show. 'His determination came from wanting to play for the fans one last time who gave him the amazing life he and Sharon have enjoyed together. 'Despite his ailments, Ozzy was still very much all there. Sharp-witted and loved to crack a joke. 'After the show, Ozzy was looking forward to fully retiring at Welders with Sharon, spending their last days together in Buckinghamshire. 'Despite all their well known ups and downs over the years, the love Sharon and Ozzy share was strong until the end.' Admired by artists from Motley Crue, Elton John and Bon Jovi to Metallica, Guns & Roses and Yungblud, Ozzy was a lovable rogue whose magnetic personality transcended the stage. In 2001, he appealed to a whole new audience after appearing in reality TV show The Osbournes with his family. Its first series was the most-watched show ever on MTV and propelled Jack and Kelly into stardom, with the latter enjoying a music career of her own. The family later starred in the reality series The Osbournes Want to Believe and special The Osbournes: Night of Terror, which both focused on paranormal investigations. 5 Kelly, Sharon, Ozzy and son Jack pictured in 2003 for their show The Osbournes
