Ciara marries her lover Russell Wilson - See first photo of the newly wed

Mr and Mrs Wilson 

NFL player Russell Wilson and singer Ciara are now officially man and wife and can now officially consummate their relationship!.

The happy couple tied the knot in front of their closest friends and family - including Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Rowland - yesterday at a fairy tale castle in Cheshire.

The pair, who got engaged in March 2016, tied the knot in front of more than 100 family and friends, and the stunning bride was attended by six bridesmaids, including celebrity pals La La Anthony, Kelly Rowland and Serena Williams.

Ciara's dress was a white lace creation with billowing sheer sleeves, a corseted top and a lace-up neckline, leaving some of her cleavage on show.

Russell, who sported a black morning suit and white shirt and flashed his wedding band, shared the first photo from the big day to his Instagram page just before 10pm UK time, with the caption: 'We are The Wilsons!'

The sweet snapshot showed the newlyweds grinning and holding hands as they made their way back down the aisle, and gave a glimpse of an altar adorned with candles and a flower arch.
