Boris Johnson has married Carrie Symonds in a low-key ceremony planned in strict secrecy.
The pair exchanged vows in Westminster Cathedral on Saturday in front of a small group of close friends and family.
Initially, Downing Street would not comment on reports of the wedding but, on Sunday morning, a spokesman said: “The Prime Minister and Ms Symonds were married yesterday afternoon in a small ceremony at Westminster Cathedral.
“The couple will celebrate their wedding with family and friends next summer.”
They are said to have sent save-the-date cards to family and friends for the celebration on July 30 2022.
Carrie Johnson rented three “decoy” dresses to ensure extra secrecy surrounding her wedding to the Prime Minister on the weekend, it has been reported.
Along with the white dress the former Carrie Symonds wore for the ceremony, she hired three other outfits from a favourite ecofashion business, My Wardrobe HQ, without saying she would be wearing one to marry Boris Johnson.
The dress she wore and the three decoy frocks were delivered to Downing Street a few days before the wedding, The Times reports.
Mr Johnson is expected back at work today after reports the newlyweds enjoyed a two-day seaside break after the Saturday ceremony.
Not everyone was overjoyed about the wedding and made their feelings cleat about it on social media.
