Charlotte Church, 31, has married musician Jonathan Powell, 30, in a secret ceremony held ‘under a tree’ surrounded by just a few friends and family.
Charlotte – who began dating Jonathan in 2010 – made her vows with her beau in September – just three months after announcing she had tragically lost a baby they were expecting.
The couple then officially wed at a register office in Cardiff on October 2 with just a handful of guests before having a ceremony under a tree at their home in a blessing party to celebrate.

The couple had another bash at their home in Dinas Powys, near Cardiff, with a local florist providing the flowers and a wine merchant providing cases of booze.

She had unexpectedly announced the month before that she was pregnant with her third child; her first with long-term boyfriend Jonny.
