Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds have released the first photos of their "secret" wedding.
The PM and his new wife are pictured beaming as they look adoringly into each other's eyes after they wed on Saturday afternoon.
The wedding photos were taken in the garden of 10 Downing Street following the ceremony at Westminster Cathedral.
Ms Symonds wore a long sleeved boho-style white wedding dress with floral detail, teamed with a floral hair wreath, and opted for no veil.
Meanwhile the PM wore a black suit, white shirt and a blue tie, with a flower pinned to his suit jacket.
The ceremony was the culmination of a six month "cloak and dagger" operation, insiders claim.
So secretive were the plans said to be that even senior members of staff in Mr Johnson's office were in the dark about his plan to tie the knot with Carrie Symonds, reports the Daily Mirror.
Number 10 only confirmed in a brief statement this morning that the ceremony had taken place.
A No10 spokesman said this morning: “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.”
The 56-year-old PM and his 33-year-old bride were only allowed to invite 30 guests due to Covid regulations.
A gazebo was pictured in the Downing Street garden.
The ceremony - the PM's third marriage - was carried out by Father Daniel Humphreys, who had given the couple pre-marriage instructions, and baptised their son Wilfred last year, The Sun reports.
Shortly after 1.30pm, the cathedral was suddenly cleared of visitors, with staff saying it was going into lockdown, the newspaper said.
Half an hour later, a limousine carrying the bride swept into the piazza outside the main west door.
Wilfred was present as his parents exchanged vows.
Shortly before the service, his mother posted a picture on Instagram of him surrounded by bluebells.
The couple are said to have sent save-the-date cards to family and friends for the celebration on July 30, 2022.
It is understood Ms Symonds will take her husband's surname and now be known as Carrie Johnson.
Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi offered his congratulations to them but said its timing should not send a signal that the further easing of lockdown measures earmarked for June 21 will not happen.
Put to him that the timing suggested that a larger wedding after June 21 was not on the cards, Mr Zahawi told Sky News: "I wouldn't extrapolate anything from that."
He added: "On June 14, we will set out very clearly, the data that we are continuing to gather from step three, which was on May 17, and then we'll share that with the nation, as the Prime Minister has done in each and every step from step one, two and three and then of course, step four."
The couple got engaged after Mr Johnson popped the question on a holiday to Mustique in 2019, a trip still under scrutiny over who paid for it.
He and Ms Wheeler have four children together.
His first marriage to Allegra Mostyn-Owen was annulled in 1993.
