Let the celebrations begin! Corrie's Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton join TOWIE's Lydia and Arg as Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's wedding reception kicks off
Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have finally tied the knot in a rumoured £1million ceremony.
The couple were officially pronounced husband and wife on Sunday afternoon in one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year.
The stunning Coronation Street star initially kept her groom waiting for 30 minutes before making her entrance in a classic white car adorned with white ribbons.
The couple, along with hundreds of guests, left St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, just before 4.30pm.

Guest list: Soap and reality TV stars descended on the town to attend Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's wedding festivities, including Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton
However, due to a big-money magazine deal, none of the assembled fans or photographers managed to get a glimpse of the stunning star.
Earlier, soap and reality TV stars were pictured descending on the town ahead of the highly-anticipated service before making their way to the celebrations.
Corrie star Brooke Vincent looked stunning in a strapless purple dress with a split hemline as she walked along the streets from St Mary's Church with Antony Cotton.
The 22-year-old, a firm friend of Michelle, wore her glossy brunette locks loosely curled and made sure her make-up was immaculate as she carried a cream clutch.

Michelle's seven bridesmaids are thought to be wearing baby blue while Mark opted for a classic black tux, The Mirror reported.
Earlier in the week, dozens of bouquets of flowers were lined up outside Hengrave Hall, which the smitten couple are rumoured to have hired for the entire bank holiday weekend.
