Charli confirmed in the caption that 'luckily' the 35-year-old drummer did cry.
In a separate post captioned 'bridal party energy' Daniel could be seen wearing his wife's veil, while The Dare, who produced Charli's track Guess and whose real name is Harrison Smith, could also be seen at the party.
The wedding reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall in London on Saturday, with the pair being spotted taking pictures with friends and family outside the venue, on social media.
The pair first shared photos of their engagement in 2023, and have worked together on a number of occasions collaborating on Charli track Spinning, before Daniel was credited as a co-producer and co-writer on two songs on Brat.
Daniel has also performed the viral 'Apple dance' at one of his wife's London shows.
Following the release of the Brat album, Charli's infectious electronic-pop tracks soared up the charts and inspired a trend, with fans embracing the 'Brat summer' cultural movement.
The accolades followed, and in March she dominated the Brit Awards, winning five categories including songwriter of the year.
She also secured album of the year, artist of the year, dance act, and song of the year for a version of her track Guess featuring Billie Eilish.
In February she picked up three awards at the Grammys and she was named songwriter of the year at The Ivors in May.
She recently performed at this year's Glastonbury Festival and at her own day festival in London's Victoria Park.
Daniel's band The 1975 are completed by singer Matty Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, and bass player Ross MacDonald, they are best known for tracks such as Chocolate, Love Me and The Sound.
The drummer has also launched an electronic solo career, releasing his first solo song Screen Cleaner in 2024.

'I'm a French expat in Britain and I was left amazed by one element of UK culture'
Stéphane Jouin, who moved to the UK nine years ago, shared the revelation in a video for his YouTube channel, 'A French guy in England', which showcases the two nations' "cultural quirks" A French expat living in the UK has named a particular aspect of British culture that's left him "amazed". Stéphane Jouin, who swapped France for the UK nine years ago, divulged his findings on his YouTube channel ' A French guy in England ', which delves into the "cultural quirks" of both countries. In his video, '6 Things I Really Appreciate as a French Guy in England', Stéphane shared his observations from nearly a decade in Britain, touching on aspects such as our politeness and tendency to be "merciful". Among these UK insights, he highlighted his admiration for the British propensity for kindness, a trait he finds "amazing" and notes is even promoted by companies and organisations here. Stéphane expressed: "Number two is that people tend to be kind." He elaborated: "I'm actually amazed that people are generally ready to help. For example, if you're stranded with your car on the road, and your bonnet is open - they call it 'hood' in the USA - they will come to ask you if you are okay, if you need any help. I find this amazing." Stéphane added that acts of kindness are "part of everyday life here." He also pointed out that the UK is home to many charities that support people suffering from health issues. He pointed out that British firms and groups are known for rallying people to join events they organise to raise money for charitable causes. On the flip side, in May, a Brit living in France took to TikTok to share five reasons why life across the Channel is "better." The expat, known as Alex or "It's moi" on the platform, presented her "household edition" of insights. First up was the revelation that people in France tend not to have their washing machines in the kitchen, instead opting for the bathroom or elsewhere, meaning you "don't have the eyesore or the noise" in the kitchen. But there's more; Alex also highlighted the convenience of having plug sockets in the bathroom, "square-shaped" pillows for extra headroom, and shutters on every window. Alex said: "You don't have to worry about blackout blinds or blackout curtains if you want to make the room dark. You just close the shutters, which is absolutely fantastic when you have children." Finally, Alex claimed that a "lot of the houses around here" tended to be detached rather than semi-detached. She said they didn't have to worry about any "potential noise problems" from neighbours. However, not everyone saw things the same way, with one commenting: "I'd hate to have a washing machine in my bathroom." Some did agree with the TikToker, with one claiming that once you try using a square pillow, there's "no going back".

Donkey Kong Bananza fan breaks game by painting the cartridge yellow
An overly enthusastic Donkey Kong fan has almost ruined their Nintendo Switch 2 by spray painting one of their game cartridges banana yellow. Donkey Kong Bananza is a great game and it's been a very long time since there was another big budget Donkey Kong title, so some fans, with a lot of nostalgia for the franchise, have got a bit carried away with themselves. One major point of conversation has been the game's placement in the wider Donkey Kong timeline or rather how it seems to contradict it entirely. We're not going to get into that again here, but some fans are oddly annoyed by the lack of consistency… even though the series has never had in-depth storylines. Another even stranger trend has been trying to paint the cartridge the game comes on yellow, like the Donkey Kong 64 one. That's not a very good idea though, as one fan in particular has discovered. The fan in question is one gardnerhartung, or merely Gardner, on TikTok who recently shared a video expressing disappointment that the physical game cartridge for Donkey Kong Bananza is the usual red colour, like other Switch 2 cartridges. His reasoning is that, back in the day, a couple of Donkey Kong games received unique yellow cartridges when they came out, specifically 1995's Donkey Kong Land for the Game Boy and 1996's Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64. It was a fun novelty, but it really was only those two games. Yet Gardner, in his own words, was 'displeased' with Bananza not following suit and filmed himself disassembling the cartridge so he can paint it yellow without damaging the game and its connection pins. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. The final result is admittedly authentic looking, but it ultimately proved fruitless since the cartridge would no longer fit into the console, either due to the extra layers of paint making it slightly bigger or it wasn't put back together properly. In a follow-up video, Gardner showed he was able to force the cartridge in eventually and, from the sound of things, actually play the game. But the cartridge is now stuck, and he can't remove it, with one attempt with a pair of metal pliers only breaking part of it off. While some of the comments do try to offer advice on how to remove the cartridge, there are unsurprisingly a lot of people mocking Gardner for even attempting any of this to begin with. The videos have gone viral enough to generate at least three separate Reddit threads, where plenty of people either insult Gardner or accuse him of just trying to draw attention. Whatever the case, Gardner appears to be taking has fame well. In a third video, where it seems he's about to address the mean comments and media coverage, he reveals he was sent a threatening email from Nintendo. Signed by 'John Nintendo himself', it says unless Gardner gets the cartridge removed by the end of the day, the company will take his house and brick his Switch 2 (admittedly, that second one is something Nintendo can actually do). He then shows that a second attempt at using the pliers was successful and has presumably left his Switch 2 undamaged, but the cartridge itself is in pieces. If there's any lesson to be learned from this, it's don't spray paint your games, especially with how expensive they are nowadays, although you'd think most people would know not to do that. More Trending In other Donkey Kong news, although Nintendo hasn't shared official sales figures yet, data by NielsenIQ and shared by The Game Business says Donkey Kong Bananza enjoyed the biggest opening week in the UK in the franchise's history… maybe. As it stands, 2010's Donkey Kong Country Returns (the original Wii game, not the Switch remaster) officially holds that record, but NielsenIQ admits it currently lacks data for how many copies of Bananza were sold directly from Nintendo's online store and the eShop. Even if Bananza has outperformed every other Donkey Kong game in the UK, that doesn't really mean much as the series has never done tremendously well over here. Although Donkey Kong Country helped the SNES to beat the Mega Drive (aka Genesis) in the US, during the 90s, it didn't have quite the same effect here, where it wasn't until the DS and Wii era when Nintendo really became popular in the UK.

People are only just realising what Monster Munch shapes actually are
Monster Munch is a popular snack which many associate with their childhood, but it turns out there's a big debate when it comes to what shape they actually are - a foot or a monster A crisp fan is questioning everything they know after being told Monster Munch is actually a different shape than they originally thought. Monster Munch, the corn snack known for its distinctive shape and delicious flavours, including Pickled Onion and Roast Beef, is a classic. But there's long been a debate among snack lovers as to what the actual shape of it is. Some people might think it's very obvious, but the fact is, not everyone agrees. Some people believe Walkers ' Monster Munches are shaped like feet, while others think it's a monster with a head, legs and arms. One Monster Munch fan has come to the realisation they may be a different shape than they originally thought. Filming herself holding up a Monster Much to show the camera, TikTok content creator Tiffany wrote: "POV [point of view] you spent your whole childhood thinking Monster Munch where giant feet, to be told they're actual monsters." Originally holding it in a way which made it look like a foot with four toes, she simply flipped it upside down - and you can clearly see the big head with two arms and two legs. Food content creator @FoodWithASB also saw a similar video from someone else, and simply asked: "What is going on?" He explained that he used to love Monster Munch "so much as a kid", particularly the Pickled Onion flavour. He added: "If you've eaten a Monster Munch before you'll know that you always ate them this way up [with the toes pointing up], it looks like a foot or a claw or something. [...] "Wrong. We were all wrong. It turns out if you turn them upside down they are just a full-on monster. It actually makes so much sense. I don't know why I've never seen that before." This created a huge debate in the comment section, as many had no idea they could be seen as monsters. Others refused to believe it. "They're claws," said one person. Another added: "I refused to believe that my childhood has been ruined." "I thought they were claws," said a third. "I know that but still refuse to believe it," added another. Luckily, Walkers previously put an end to the debate about whether the iconic Monster Munch is the shape of a claw with four fingers, or a monster with two arms and legs. They actually put it to the fans to have a decisive say on the official shape with a poll on social media in 2020. More than 60,000 people had their say, with the 'Claw' shape emerging as the winner. Will Robinson at Walkers Snacks said: "Claw or Monster is a debate that has continued to divide British opinion as much as whether or not you put jam or cream on your scone first, or whether that famous dress was gold or blue. "Therefore we felt it was only right to settle the debate once and for all, through launching our 'Monster' and 'Claw' shaped packs and asking the fans to decide – and now they have spoken. "So moving forwards it won't be open to debate – they are officially 'claw' shaped forever more. Or until our innovation team gets restless, at least."
