Boris Johnson, British Prime Minister, married his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, in a secretly carried out wedding ceremony at Westminster Cathedral. He is the first British leader to get married in office in nearly 199 years.
A 10 Downing Street spokesperson said that the marriage took place in a small ceremony on Saturday afternoon. Furthermore, the spokesperson said that the pair would rejoice again with family members and friends in the coming summer, and until then, their honeymoon was also delayed.
According to The Mail, only thirty guests were invited to the wedding ceremony at short notice, including few church officials involved in the preparations at 2 PM on Sunday amid coronavirus-related restrictions.
The marriage services were officiated by Father Daniel Humphreys, who baptized the couple’s first child Wilfred in 2020.
Several politicians also congratulated the pair, including Health Secretary Hancock, Home Secretary Priti Patel, Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey, and Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi.
Therese Coffey congratulated the couple in the Twitter Post.

Vicky Ford, Children’s Minister, also congratulated on Twitter, saying, “life is always better with love.”
