Daniel wore a classic black tuxedo, and put flowers in his chest pocket which matched the pop star's bouquet.
To announce the news of her wedding, Aitchison did it in a rather unusual but iconic way as she posted on TikTok wearing her wedding gown.
'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,' the caption over the video jokingly reads as she is seen leaving the room she just entered.
She added in the caption of her post that, luckily, her new husband cried when she was walking down the aisle.
The couple met in 2021 while working on a collaborative project, and in May 2022, Aitchison officially confirmed their relationship in an Instagram post.
In November 2023, the lovebirds announced that they are engaged with a sweet post on Instagram.
The hitmaker subtly revealed her engagement with a selfie showcasing a diamond ring, followed by an official announcement featuring intimate photos and a tea tray with the engagement ring box, hinting at how Daniel proposed.
Fans of the pop singer congratulated the singer as she embarks on her new chapter.
'Ahhh I'm so happy for you Charli and George!! I'm going to be blasting the 1975 and Charli XCX music all night to celebrate for you guys,' a social media user shared.
Another user added: 'Congrats, babe! Wishing you a long and happy life together.'

Calitzdorp man aims to braai his way to a Guinness World Record
Calitzdorp braai enthusiast Gielie Basson is preparing to fire up the coals as he sets his sights on breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous braai. Scheduled to run from 24 to 28 September 2025, the event aims to hit the 100-hour mark, surpassing the current record of 80 hours, which was set by fellow South African Jan Greeff in 2014. This will be Basson's second official attempt. In 2023, he braaied for more than 84 hours, but a technical glitch with timekeeping disqualified the effort. 'In 2023, I tried, but Guinness World Records said that trying is the best gun. I didn't get the record, and that's why I'm going to try one last time in September,' Basson said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GielieBraai (@gieliebraai) Beyond the record attempt, Basson is using the event to galvanise community spirit. He is encouraging South Africans to support the cause in their own way – whether in Calitzdorp or from their homes. 'They can braai boerewors, make hotdogs, and sell them. The profits can be donated to my charity, Gamka Oos Primary School, or to a charity of their choice,' he said. Known for its wine farms and scenic beauty, Calitzdorp is hoping to benefit from the publicity surrounding the event. Basson believes his attempt can help spotlight the town's charm and community warmth. 'Join us in Calitzdorp in support of my record attempt or braai at your home, and let's show the world how South Africa's 'ubuntu' really works,' he urged. Basson and his team are working closely with event coordinators and Guinness World Records officials to ensure all regulations are met this time around, including timekeeping, food safety, and rest periods. Whether or not the record is broken, the fire of community and charity will keep burning – just the way Gielie Basson likes it.
