Ciara and Russell Wilson made their union official on Wednesday [July 6], joining in matrimony before friends and family in Cheshire, England. Among the more than 100 guests to attend the Peckforton Castle affair, were Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, La La Anthony and Serena Williams. Serena had actually long been considered as one of Ciara's six bridesmaids, but was unable to make the planning commitment due to the ceremony conflicting with the Wimbledon tournament.

Dozens of news outlets had reported their anticipation of the wedding throughout the day, but none were able to give a scope into the private engagement. It wasn't until immediately after the two exchanged vows that the world got to see their big moment, with both simultaneously posting to Instagram with a photo of them walking up the aisle with the caption reading "We are the Wilsons!"

The bride was reportedly laced in a custom made Roberto Cavalli dress, while the groom and his step-son Future Jr. wore Giorgio Armani. The couple had been consumed with tying the knot since March, when Wilson, 27, proposed to the 30-year-old singer while on vacation in Seychelles. "Since Day 1 I knew you were the one. No Greater feeling… #TrueLove @Ciara," Wilson wrote at the time. The Wilsons are reportedly looking forward to beginning a family after famously remaining celibate throughout their public courtship.
