Howard Donald has married Katie Halil.

The Take That star tied the knot with his new wife last Friday (02.01.15) in a secret two-day wedding extravaganza.

A source shared: "Everyone is so chuffed for Howard and Katie: they make a gorgeous couple."

The 'These Days' hitmaker, 46, and his illustrator wife said their vows at an intimate marriage ceremony which was attended by close friends and family.

The following day they held a huge celebration at Aynhoe Park, a stately home in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire.

Guests - including his fellow bandmates, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow, as well as ex-Take That member Jason Orange - enjoyed champagne, pizza and fish and chips at the posh venue.

The source shared to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Jason and Howard have always been the very best of friends and extremely tight. It was like the old days again being together."

Howard - who has been dating Katie since 2010 - wore a dark purple dinner suit to the party and the celebrations continued late into the night.

A guest said: "Howard looked extremely happy with his bride Katie at his side amongst their guests. There were about 140 people there - it was a kicking do until at least 1.30am."

Howard first met Katie when the band filmed a Marks & Spencer Christmas TV advert in 2008.
