Later on, the bride changed into a v-neck style embroidered dress with pearls, gemstones and finished with couture lace.

Vogue report that the couple, who announced their engagement in 2018, spread out their wedding celebrations over three days.

The couple first met back in 2017, when he was filming The Mountain Between Us in Canada.

They got engaged just before Valentine’s Day last year, when the Luther actor popped the question ahead of a screening of his film, Yardie

The Rio Cinema in Dalston was the first to confirm the happy news on social media.

Alongside a photo of the actor, they wrote:

“Another @riocinema first!

“Still 5 days to Valentines Day but @idriselba went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend live on stage this morning before a preview of his film #Yardie.”

And when one fan asked the important question – “did she say yes?!” – the cinema was quick to reply:

“She said yes and there was much clapping and cheering.”
