Charli XCX looked more smitten than ever before as she tied the knot with The 1975's George Daniel for the second time, in a stunning ceremony in Sicily on Sunday.
The pop star, 32, displayed her edgy sense of style in a grecian-inspired bridal look as she and The 1975 drummer, 35, shared their vows, two months after their London nuptials.
The newlyweds looked emotional as they said 'I do' all over again and exchanged rings in front of their loved ones, including George's bandmate Matty Healy and his mother Denise Welch.
The bride's draped white dress boasted a dramatically long train that flowed behind her as she walked down the aisle and was completely sheer, revealing a figure-hugging corset underneath.
And in true form for the Guess hitmaker, Charli - whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison - ensured her white underwear was on full display.
While George cut a dashing figure by her side in a relaxed taupe suit and oversized silk shirt underneath, left partially unbuttoned to display his chain necklaces.
The couple appeared deeply moved during the intimate ceremony, alternating between laughing, crying and holding hands, as they took turns reading out their vows.
George was seen wiping away tears at several points, while their closest friends and family gave speeches and one serenaded them on the guitar.
While the couple cooled themselves off with a personalised folding fan, that was emblazoned with the words: 'George and Charli'.
The romantic ceremony took place on a rocky outcrop right next to the idyllic sea, with rows of chairs laid out in front of an altar adorned with sprigs of eucalyptus leaves and baby's breath.
Charli and George were the picture of love and devotion, as they shared a passionate kiss at the altar after becoming husband and wife for the second time.
As they walked back down the aisle to applause and confetti from the attendees, Matty could be seen getting to his feet to cheer them on.
In true musician style, after the heartfelt service Charli and George wasted no time in getting into the celebrations with their guests.
They were seen letting loose to the sounds of a live band, dancing and laughing while cocktails and drinks flowed.
Forgoing the moody tones of The 1975 or the electric rave style of BRAT, Charli and George opted for a traditional folk band, complete with an accordion, tambourine and harmonica.
Popping bottles of fizz, the pair poured out a champagne tower for the guests to enjoy, unable to resist another smooch.
And guests were also seen sipping on the classic Italian party staple of Aperol Spritz as they laughed and danced in the sun.
Among them was Loose Women star Denise, who looked summery chic in a bright floral patterned minidress.
Charli and George looked the picture of wedded bliss as the two chart-topping stars enjoyed an intimate alone before joining the fun-filled reception.
And displaying their shared love of music, the pair's seating chart revealed their wedding table names were all the titles of their favourite songs.
These included Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground, Billy Ocean's Loverboy, Cut the Cake by Average White Band, The Japanese House's Saw You in a Dream and the controversial track Lemon Incest by Serge and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
The happy couple sat on a table named after Prince's Sticky Like Glue, with Charli's mum and dad, Jon and Shameera, and George's parents, Amanda and Chris.
While George's bandmates Matty, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald joined them at the main table, as well as Matty's fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel.
And it appeared that Charli's fellow pop star pal Addison Rae was also in attendance the nuptials, and sat at a table named after her own hit track, Aquamarine.
Matty and Gabbriette were noticeably absent from Charli and George's official wedding at London's Hackney Town Hall two months ago.
It was later revealed that the couple couldn't make it as they were in Los Angeles for a screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which Gabbriette stars in.
Meanwhile it has been claimed that Charli and George have spared no expense on their Italian celebration, with sources reporting they spent close to six figures on the nuptials.
An insider previously told The Sun: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared; it's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.'
It is believed that the duo wanted a 'massive party' with a bar that is open all night long.
It is claimed that Charli and George made personalised cocktails for the day, and there's supposedly no curfew on the party that they're calling the 'rave cave'.
The party is said to be going until the 'last person standing collapses into bed.'
Speaking to Harper's Bazaarr earlier this year on plans for her wedding, Charli admitted that the pair were more excited about celebrating with their loved ones that the formal side.
She said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party. Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
In the lead-up to the big day, the 360 hitmaker has shown off glimpses at their pre-wedding outings, including a practice run of her first dance with George.
Living up to her Brat name, Charli's post included plenty of snaps of herself and George indulging in cocktails and cigarettes while soaking up the sights in Palermo.
The couple were joined by 20 of their nearest and dearest for their lowkey first ceremony in July, including Ross and Adam.
The Apple singer was the epitome of style in a chic Vivienne Westwood dress which boasted a plunging boat neckline and draped detailing that she wore with a traditional veil.
Taking to TikTok to show off her stunning bridal look, she quipped: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle' only to reassure followers in the caption that the drummer 'luckily did'.
Following the wedding the couple reportedly headed to nearby Italian restaurant Dalla where they dined alfresco and sipped Aperol Spritz before heading to their evening bash at Ellie's bar in Dalston.
Charli shared a glimpse of the couple's wild afterparty which saw her changing into a second white dress, this time from Nova Cora and costing a cool £3,300, as she celebrated her newlywed status with pals.
Larking around George modelled his new wife's veil while puffing on a cigarette and showcasing his buff physique beneath an open silk shirt.
The gang partied and danced the night away to Charli's music, captioning the clip: 'Bridal party energy!'.
A source told The Sun: 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla'.
'The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family style meal with loads of pasta and champagne.
'People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.'
George also reportedly enjoyed a stag do in Ibiza in July, the week before he and Charli's London ceremony.
According to The Sun, the musician and his pals, including Matty, flew out to the party island for a short but wild getaway.
A source told the publication: 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do.
'He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals – including his bandmates – and party girl Charli was all for it.'
The couple, who have been together since 2022, announced their engagement in November 2023 on Instagram.
Charli broke the news with a carousel of images including a romantic snap of George dipping her while the pair shared a kiss and another of her showing off her diamond engagement ring in a box between two cups of tea with the caption: 'charli xcx and george f***ing for life!'
The pair first sparked dating rumours in March 2022 when they were spotted holding hands on a stroll through New York City.
