On Sunday morning Sir Elton John and David Furnish were officially married, exactly nine years after they entered into a civil partnership.
They tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in front of family, friends, numerous celebrities and of course, their sons Zachary, three and Elijah, 23 months.
And the couple were so eager for the whole world to share in their happiness they posted pictures to their Instagram pages throughout the ceremony alongside the hashtag sharethelove.
Nothing was held back, with pictures beginning in the morning of the pair making the union official as they signed their legal documents, right up to the sweet moment they said their vows.
And the couple’s sons and ring-bearers got in on the action, with Zachary even taking a picture of Elijah during the ceremony, which was promptly uploaded.
Elton captioned the sweet snap, which showed Elijah clasping his dad’s leg and a stuffed toy, with the words: ‘Zachary grabs David’s iPhone and takes a photo of his brother while we exchange our vows. #ShareTheLove.’
The dapper duo were dressed in matching dark suits, as were their sons, and Elton wore a pair of sunglasses as he and David said their vows.
He captioned the intimate moment: ‘The exchange of vows. #ShareTheLove.’
They entered a civil partnership on December 21, 2005 and and picked the poignant date to officially get wed on their ninth anniversary.
Same sex marriages became legal in England in March and to celebrate, Elton and David set about planning the lavish bash.
The couple also posted a sweet snap of them together after signing the official paperwork on Sunday morning.
