Michelle looked stunning in an off-the-shoulder ivory bridal gown with lace detailing on the fitted bodice and sleeves and a full, floor-length skirt. The All Star Mr & Mrs star styled her brunette hair into luscious curls finished with a tiara while Will appeared to have taken off his suit jacket in the sunshine, showing off a white waistcoat, red tie and black trousers.

Will and Michelle first met in 1999 while starring in the stage musical Oh, What a Night in Manchester. They tied the knot eight years later and are now proud parents to children Jayden and Renee.

Shortly after his wedding day, Will gushed about his new wife, telling The Mirror: "We were always a good unit but now we’re married, it feels stronger somehow, more solid. Can you believe it? I’m an old married man now and I love it."

The couple got married in 2007

Fifteen years on from their wedding and EastEnders star Will opened up about the secret to their happy marriage, which focuses on making time for one another and their family.

"We do date night every week. We find it hard at the moment though because I am on the dance floor on Strictly every Saturday, but usually, Saturday night is always date night," he told The Sun in October 2022.

Speaking of his quest to be a "fun dad", he added: "Friday night is always family night and we’ll go out for dinner or play some board games with the kids."
