The television presenter and his new wife said their "I do's" in front of their famous friends and family, including his presenting partner and best man Dec Donnelly, and his wife Ali Astall, at St Michael Church in the village of Heckfield in Hampshire on Saturday (07.08.21) afternoon.
And Ant has shared the first picture of the happy couple standing in front of the entrance of the church, which was decorated in flowers to match the bride's purple and white pastel bouquet.
The groom punched his fist in the air in celebration as he and Anne-Marie beamed.
The snap shared on the official Ant and Dec Instagram page is captioned: "Mr and Mrs McPartlin!!", along with a red heart emoji.
The pair have been inundated with messages of congratulations from their pals.
Actress and comedienne Emily Atack commented underneath the snap: "Ahhhhhhh congratulations!!!!"
Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts wrote: "Congrats!!"
And 'Britain's Got Talent' judge Amanda Holden, who had earlier apologised for missing the wedding, commented with the handclap emoji and two red hearts.
Explaining her absence on her Instagram Story, Amanda wrote: "So sorry we will miss Ant's special day.. we are still away.
"Sending our love and congratulations to Ant and Amzie on this amazing day."
Anne-Marie wowed in a bespoke one-shoulder gown and lengthy veil, as she arrived in style in a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The bride's two teenage daughters from her previous marriage to Scott Corbett and her niece were among the bridesmaids.
Ant and Dec had earlier posed for photographs in front of the picturesque venue.
Other guests in attendance included 'This Morning' co-host Phillip Schofield, 'Saturday Night Takeaway' star Stephen Mulhern, 'Britain's Got Talent' judges Alesha Dixon and David Walliams, Dermot O'Leary, Ant and Dec's former 'SM:TV' co-host Cat Deeley, and Frank and Christine Lampard.
The newlyweds will continue their lavish three-day celebrations with a reception at the nearby Heckfield Place hotel and spa, a luxurious Georgian mansion in the Hampshire countryside.
It had been reported that the 45-year-old groom is paying for their guests' two-night stay at the £1,000-a-night venue and even asked for their spa bills to be charged to his account.
'I'm A Celeb...' co-host Ant proposed to Anne-Marie - who he was first linked to in March 2018 - at home on Christmas Eve 2020.
The engagement came three years after the Geordie funnyman split from his wife of 12 years, make-up artist Lisa Armstrong.
