Anyone who found it hard to believe that Mark Wright was a blubbering mess when he clapped eyes on his bride, Michelle Keegan, walking down the aisle last week need only check out his Instagram posts from these past few days.

The former TOWIE star, who finally said “I do” with his lady love last Sunday, can’t quite get over the fact that he’s married – and he’s been gushing unashamedly about how happy he is over it.

Just days after posting a cheeky photo of the gorgeous Michelle, looking amazing in a bikini, the reality star has taken to the photo-blogging site once more to share a moment of reflection.

Finally revealing where he and Michelle are holidaying, Mark posted a photo of himself looking out at the sunset over a gorgeous sea setting.

“Being a husband! Such an amazing feeling! Buzzing for the journey ahead,” wrote the 28-year-old, adding in the hashtag ‘Maldives’. So THAT’S where these amazingly beautiful photos have been coming from!

The couple have been very careful with what they share on social media, with a mega-bucks deal in place for those all-important wedding photos, as well as the first picture of the married couple.

We can’t wait to see the loved-up pair on their special day, but we’ll settle for Mark’s intense Instagrams in the meantime.

She undoubtedly raised eyebrows when just 48 hours before her former fiance married his new love, she posted a cryptic message to Instagram.

"She's the kind of girl a guy meets when he's too young, and he f**ks up because there's too much living to do," Lauren Goodger wrote, before adding: "But later he realises she's perfect."

The note was widely read as being directed at Mark Wright, her one-time boyfriend of a decade – and the man who married actress Michelle Keegan in a lavish €1.4m celebration last Sunday.

And the comment certainly attracted a lot of criticism – with many observers stating that the former reality TV star was merely looking for attention. "Even if this isn't about Mark, this is just terrible timing on your behalf," another follower also wrote.

Now Lauren Pope, a close friend of Ms Goodger's, has come out in her defence. "I think some people look too deeply into things like this.

"I always say Instagram is the life you want people to see, rather than the life you have," Ms Pope said.

"For all anyone else knows, she could be dating someone else and talking about them," she added while in conversation with Mail Online.

"She probably didn't even think that people could interpret it any other way."

The Towie cast member furthermore confirmed to the website that there certainly was no malice in her friend's online post.

Mark and Michelle are currently on honeymoon. Although it was widely rumoured that they would jet-off to Dubai, it seems the pair have instead opted to holiday in the Maldives.

With a €1.7m pictures deal for Hello! at stake, Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright made every effort to keep last week's lavish wedding as secret as possible… but they didn't quite succeed.

The pair tied the knot last Sunday and followed their church ceremony up with a no-expense-spared party at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

Security were on high alert for the event and with a social media ban in place there was no chance of even the smallest detail making it into the media.

While many fans worried that Mark's ex Lauren Goodger might show up to Hengrave Hall uninvited, in the end the night was crashed by two very unexpected guests indeed… a pair of cheeky builders.

The two lads jumped a wall late in the evening and strolled into the marquee with security none the wiser, according to The Sun.

Far from being spotted, the crashers even enjoyed a drink or two… on Mark and Michelle's tab, no doubt. "It was great fun. We walked straight past the guards and into the marquee," one of the men told the paper.

Their security was eventually blown when they asked Mark's cousin, TOWIE star Elliott Wright, for a selfie. Oops.

Luckily for the two lads, Mark and Michelle have been too busy enjoying their honeymoon to worry about pressing charges. The couple were said to be headed on a luxury break to Dubai, where Michelle had her hen party earlier this month, but their first honeymoon snap is giving nothing away:

We can't wait to see a few more pictures!

Prepare to get seriously envious: Amazing tropical paradise? Check. Breathtaking surroundings? Check. Seriously perk bum? Check!

Yes, Mark Wright, 28, has – finally – taken to Instagram to share the first picture of his wife Michelle Keegan since they married in Suffolk last Sunday. 

And let's just say that it's certainly impressive. 

He playfully captioned the image, telling his fans that a friend had asked him if he fancied a game a golf.

"I'll stick with my view thanks," he said in response – showing off an impression rear-view of his gorgeous actress wife.

He also included the hashtag: mrswright.

Michelle, 27, can be seen donning a navy polka dot bikini by Beach Bunny, which would have cost her €165. And judging by her tiny waist and toned bum, her pre-wedding health-kick and exercise schedule certainly paid-off.

Although it was widely rumoured that they would head to Dubai after exchanging vows, it seems the pair have opted to honeymoon in the Maldives – a firm favourite of loved-up couples. 

Stars who've recently visited the luxurious island nation include Holly Valance and her billionaire husband Nick Candy, Rochelle and Marvin Humes (who also honeymooned there), Wills and Kate, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Mark and Michelle married in a €1.4m bash that saw the couple take to the dancefloor for an expertly-executed Dirty Dancing routine

As a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, his wedding guests must have expected big things when Mark Wright took the the dancefloor with his new wife Michelle Keegan.

The pair married in an opulent ceremony on Sunday – and apparently they wowed their friends and family with an expertly-executed Dirty Dancing routine.

The Mirror reports that the 28-year-old groom happily took on the role of Johnny Castle, made famous by Patrick Swayze, while Michelle, 27, was perfect as Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman.

To facility her energetic moves, the bride sensibly changed into a shorter version of her ivory lace wedding dress – complete with Dirty Dancing-appropriate ruffles on the skirt. She also reportedly carried white pom-poms and wore Sophia Webster shoes.

The pair’s official first frolic was to Whitney Houstin’s I Have Nothing – an emotional-charged song that prompted Mark to burst into tears, though Michelle remained composed.  

And while the newlyweds were in bed at a respectable 12.30pm, according to The Sun, their guests partied into the early hours of yesterday morning – with the venue having to turn off the power in a bid to get them to clear off and go home.

An insider told the paper: “They were having the time of their lives. They wouldn’t leave and had drunk a lot.

“In the end, staff just pulled the plug and they had to move on.”

If Twitter is an indicator, there were certainly a few sore heads the next morning: actress Brook Vincent said hers was "banging" but that she had "amazing memories".

Meanwhile, Nicola McLean said there had never been "a more stunning bride".

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright said their "I do's" yesterday in a lavish ceremony attended by 120 of their family and friends.

Many details of the €1.4m wedding were kept under wraps on the day, with the official pictures set to be published by Hello! magazine as part of a €1.7m deal.

One piece of information that did do the rounds yesterday though was that Mark Wright's former co-star and ex Lauren Goodger was planning to crash the couple's big day.

According to The Sun, Mark and Michelle had put security at St Mary's Church and Hengrave Hall on "high alert" as they feared Lauren might show up to the ceremony or reception uninvited.

Mark and Lauren split in 2011 after ten years of dating. He began seeing Michelle in 2013 and proposed after just nine months, something we're sure Lauren was none too happy about.

"There were real worries about Lauren as she has been very vocal and is an unpredictable character," a source reportedly told the newspaper.

Lauren herself took to Twitter today to hit back at the rumours, saying there was no truth in them whatsoever.

Responding to a tweet by her former TOWIE cast member Cara Kilbey, Lauren wrote, "@carakilbey seen some crazy stories in my time but this one takes the lead "

Much as we want to give Lauren the benefit of the doubt, she did go a bit bunny-boiler on Friday night when she posted a cryptic message about relationships.

"She's the kind of girl a guy meets when he's too young, and he f*cks up because there's too much living to do. But later he realises she's perfect," she wrote on Instagram.

Seems obvious enough to us who she was talking about…

It's now official: Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are husband and wife.

They said their vows this afternoon in front of 120 of their nearest and dearest, including Towie's Lydia Bright and James Argent, Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton, as well as Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher.

The 27-year old bride walked up the aisle to Shania Twain's From This Moment On.

A member of the choir who sang at the ceremony afterwards commented to The Mirror that while Michelle was remarkably composed throughout, Mark was "a little bit emotional" and shed a few tears. "It was a lovely service," they added.

Unusually, Boney M's By The Rivers Of Babylon was among the featured music. 

The pair hadn't seen each other since Friday afternoon, opting to spend the final 48hours before their Big Day apart.

Accompanied by his eight groomsmen and travelling in a giant stretch Hummer, Mr Wright, 28, had turned up at 12.20pm at the pretty St Mary's Church in the town of Bury St Edmunds in the east of England.

Ms Keegan, however, kept everyone waiting a full half an hour – arriving accompanied by her father, Michael, a little after 1.30pm. 

The bride had her heart set on a horse-drawn carriage, but security and privacy concerns necessitated a last-minute swap to a white vintage car – complete with blacked-out windows.

Crowds of local residents had lined the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the pair, but a €1.7m glossy magazine deal meant they were left disappointed.  

Still, eagle-eyed bystanders observed that Mark was dressed in a swish black tuxedo and bow-tie. Spectators also noted that the seven bridesmaids on duty wore baby blue, floor-length dresses with diamante detailing on the shoulders.

The wedding party later transferred to the opulent Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, a 16th-century manor, for a lavish reception.

On the menu was the likes of posh fish 'n' chips, and savoury pies with mashed potato.

This evening, a further 100 invitees joined them for top-notch entertainment, fireworks, and yet more delicious food including €25-a-pop kebabs sourced from one of the couple's favourite restaurants. A cocktail bar, fairground carousel, and candy cart are all also on offer.

DJ Pat Sharp, who knows Mark from their stint together on I'm a Celebrity back in 2011, told Mail Online today that he will be playing a set this evening.

Mark and Michelle got engaged just nine months after meeting. It has been reported that in total they will end up forking-out €1.4m on their various wedding celebrations.

It is not know yet where they will honeymoon, but it is believed that they have been offered an all expenses trip to Dubai, the city where they first met in December 2012.

Whether the break-up was mutual or not, watching a former flame head up the aisle is never easy, so we're sure Lauren Goodger is feeling a mixture of emotions as childhood sweetheart Mark Wright prepares to say 'I do' to Coronation Street star, Michelle Keegan this weekend.

So when the 28-year-old reality star chose this particular weekend to post a cryptic message on her Instagram account, it's no surprise social media went into overdrive.

Suggesting she's not 100% over the pair's split, Lauren wrote: "She's the kind of girl a guy meets when he's too young, and he f*cks up because there's too much living to do. But later he realises she's perfect."

Given the timing of the post, legions of TOWIE fans assumed Lauren was throwing shade at Mark and Michelle just hours before their big day, with one writing: "Obviously trying to get some attention on somebody's wedding day! Good luck to the happy couple."

Others were prepared to give Lauren the benefit of the doubt, but questioned her inappropriate timing, saying: "Even if this isn't about Mark, this is just terrible timing on your behalf. Wouldn't get so much negativity if you posted this a month or so down the line…"

However, many other fans of the Essex beauty wasted no time jumping to the reality star's defence, posting: "You's are all so nasty!! Wow!! Jumping to assumptions and being down right mean. Who are you to judge? It's her IG, she's allowed to express herself and put up whatever she wants."

Some of the most tender hearted of TOWIE fans took to social media to praise Lauren for her honesty and slam critics who suggested she should have kept her thoughts to herself, writing: "Lauren is allowed to be hurt or show her sadness! She was with him for many years so no doubt it's gonna hurt her this weekend. You'd all swear you never lost love before! If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all!"

While fans of the show raged back and forth over the meaning of the original post, Lauren, who was apparently planning to text her ex before his big day, appeared to take the whole thing in her stride, tweeting: "Lol laughing at the what'sapps – think the worlds gone mad! There's so much more going on in life than a quote wow."

Choosing to keep schtum as to the meaning behind the post, Lauren took the high road and let the image speak for itself.

Hmmm…what could she have meant?!

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan will apparently spend a cool €1.4m on their wedding tomorrow – reportedly forking out €85,000 on flowers alone.

But the couple shouldn’t be too hard up afterwards: they’ve secured a €1.7m glossy magazine deal to help them cover the costs.

After being unable to find her perfect gown, Ms Keegan, 27, has designed her own wedding dress. This week she was spotted going into Brown’s Brides in central London for a final fitting; expect the final price-tag to be astronomical too.

There is as yet no word on what her seven bridesmaids – comprising of her stepsister, Mark’s two sisters, her BFF Becky Hatch, and three of her cousins – will be wearing, but it is likely that Michelle will opt for simplicity… and a designer label.

Mark and his Best Man – his footballer brother Josh – will also be suited-and-booted in high-end attire (as will the rest of the eight groomsmen). Today the pair were spotted relaxing on the golf course with their dad, Mark Snr. Michelle wasn't forgotten, however: in a romantic gesture, her name was emblazoned in white lettering across the back of her beau's polo shirt.

Meanwhile, the bride herself plans on arriving for tomorrow's 1pm ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage. She will be accompanied by her father, Michael. 

The couple will say their vows in front of 120 of their closest friends and family with guests afterwards transferring to one of the main reception rooms at the spectacular Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

There, the group will tuck-in to an opulent lunch accompanied by carefully-selected white and red wines, as well as vintage champagne – though there'll be plenty of beer on tap too.

Another 100-odd invitees will then arrive later in the day, being treated to top-notch entertainment, dancing, drinks, a buffet meal, and a fireworks display as the evening progresses.

On Thursday, The Mirror revealed that attendees are required to bring along a second glamorous outfit for a Downton Abbey-inspired post-breakfast photoshoot taking place on Monday morning.

“Guests were only told about it this week,” another source close to the wedding party revealed. “So needless to say, there was a lot of last-minute panic.”

They added: “But Michelle and Mark are tied in to a two-part magazine deal, and the publication decided a second event the following day was needed.”

Sadly, it is unlikely that we’ll catch a glimpse of the bride tomorrow: that same strict magazine deal means all guests will be forced to surrender their phones on arrival, and they’ve also been ordered to keep off social-media sites such as Instagram and Twitter.

The couple have reported been offered an all-expenses paid, five-star trip to Dubai for their honeymoon. And certainly the location is special to them both. 

Reality TV star Mark, 28, proposed to actress Michelle there in September 2013 – just nine months after they met at a party in the Middle Eastern city.

They have previously said that they plan on having four children together.

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's wedding has to be one of the most anticipated celebrity events of 2015, and we've just found out some more details.

Last week Mark's former TOWIE co-star Lydia Bright took to Instagram to share (and later delete) a peek at the pristine invitation she received – but it's what was written inside that really had us raising our eyebrows.

A source revealed to The Mirror that all guests have been asked to bring not one but two formal outfits for the lavish wedding, rumoured to be taking place in eight days time at the luxury Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

Attendees are not only required to dress up for the wedding itself, but also for a photoshoot at the post-wedding breakfast the following morning.

"The venue Mark and Michelle have chosen is incredibly posh," the source said. "So guests attending the breakfast the following morning will still have to look swish."

Yup, that means two dresses, two pairs of heels, and a LOT of make-up to hide that hangover in time for breakfast. "Some are even planning to get hair and make-up done in the morning, too," the source revealed.

Unsurprisingly, the need for two perfect outfits is putting pressure on some guests who might not have a celebrity budget. "The wedding party will be full of glamorous people in expensive dresses so it has put the pressure on some non-celeb guests," the source said.

She might still be shopping around for something to wear the next day, but Michelle already has her wedding day outfit in the bag; a custom-made gown from exclusive London boutique Browns Bride. 

"There isn’t much I can tell you about my wedding dress but I will say it’s ivory," the actress recently told Closer magazine. "I designed it myself, so I’m really excited about it."

We cannot wait to see the pictures!

Michelle Keegan has had her final dress-fitting ahead of her forthcoming nuptials to Mark Wright.

The 27-year-old actress was spotted attending her appointment at the upmarket Brown’s Brides in the central London area of Marylebone, close to Oxford Street.

“There isn’t much I can tell you about my wedding dress,” the actress recently told Closer magazine, “but I will say it’s ivory. I designed it myself, so I’m really excited about it.”

It is widely rumoured that Michelle will marry her reality TV star fiancé this weekend at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, which is described as a “premiere” wedding venue.

This stunning venue will host the pair's wedding shortly

 

The bride-to-be wore a simple white t-shirt, faded black skinny jeans, and black wedges for her fitting, shielding her eyes with aviator sunglasses. She also sported a deep tan – the result, no doubt, of her recent hen party in Dubai.

As well as making a name for himself in The Only Way Is Essex, Mark Wright has appeared on I’m A Celebrity, and Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair have been dating since December 2012, when they met at a party in Dubai. They were engaged nine months later, with Mark saying shortly afterwards in an interview: It didnt take me long to realise that Michelle is everything I wanted.

Michelle is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.

Brown’s Brides is a favourite of well-to-do Londoners, and stocks the likes of Vera Wang, Marchesa, and Valentino.

Ex-girlfriends are always a dreaded thought, but then again so is the thought of your first love marrying the sexiest woman in the world, so we're trying not to take sides. 

According to sources, Lauren Goodger is preparing to text Mark Wright the night before he marries Michelle Keegan.

A source has said:  "Nobody wants to see their first love marry someone else, but Lauren's adamant she wants to text Mark the night before his big day. It'll be a nice text, saying she wishes him a happy and healthy life with his new wife. She doesn't want Mark thinking she'll be in bed crying over him on the day."

We wouldn't blame you if you were Lauren, we would be too!

"She says it'll be the last time she'll ever contact him, and that she's already found closure in her heart and moved on," they said.

She is also said to be a "bag of emotions" because their ten year relationship ended up with him marrying a woman that isn't her.

They claimed she was looking for the help of Katie Price for her new career, and wants a boob reduction to look slimmer.

A source told Heat Magazine: "Lauren would love to tease Mark with sexy pictures of herself, and wants to knock Michelle off the top spot."

However, Lauren's rep has now responded and said: "She will not be texting Mark, her weight loss is her own personal goal that she has been trying to achieve for herself and no-one else and as for Katie Price well they’re friends and Lauren respects her and her career but won’t be enlisting her for support on hers!"

Meanwhile, excitement is building for Mark and Michelle's big day as TOWIE star Lydia leaked a picture of the invitations along with the caption: “Probably the most beautiful wedding invitation I have ever seen. So excited to celebrate this beautiful day for two special people.” 

She has since deleted the photo.

The gorgeous couple are set to wed this month. They got engaged in 2013.
