Emmerdale stars Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have revealed they tied the knot in a romantic surprise ceremony and they had to rope in their celebrity pals for the bridal party at the last minute.
The soap stars, who have together since 2007 and have two sons, Buster (7) and Bowie (2), first got engaged in 2009 after meeting on the set of the hit show.
On February 10 the couple made their union legally binding infront of 100 guests who had been invited to a party to celebrate Charley’s 30th birthday.
However their friends and family "screamed for 10 minutes" with excitement when they were told they were attending a wedding instead.
Speaking to OK! Magazine Charley said: "That moment when we announced what we were doing and seeing everybody’s reaction is the best moment of my life."
Now THATs how you do a 30th birthday @MissCharleyWebb .... THE best night 😘😘😘

Matthew added: "We couldn’t have had a better response. People just screamed for about ten minutes!"
The couple had to quickly ask their friends, including co-stars Lucy Pargeter, Zoe Henry, Charlotte Bellamy, Sammy Winward, Jeff Horfely and Chris Chittell to join their bridal party. Charley’s brother Jamie Lomas gave her away.
Charley said: "This way we got to do it totally the way we wanted – it wasn’t traditional, we didn’t have a sit-down meal and there weren’t loads of speeches."
