Coronation Street favourite Jack P. Shepherd is officially a married man after tying the knot with fiancée Hanni Treweek in a lavish ceremony today.
The David Platt actor, who has starred in the ITV soap since 2000, has been dating Hanni since 2017, having met the scriptwriter while she worked on Corrie.
On June 5 last year, while on safari, he popped the question, and it’s been all systems go for wedding prep ever since, with the lovebirds keeping their fans updated on dress fittings, cake tastings, and pre-parties galore while counting down the days.
And this weekend, it all came to a head, as soap co-stars packed out Manchester Cathedral to celebrate their nuptials.
Jack, 37, arrived at the venue with his mum and young son, Reuben, whom he shares with ex Lauren Shippey.
Looking dapper in a cream tux, Jack added a stylish edge with a pair of shades.
Pulling up in the coolest possible way, he sat backseat in a red Mustang car, beaming with excitement.
Meanwhile, bride Hanni, 35, was seen arriving at the iconic Gothic venue with her flock of bridesmaids, who aided in carrying her extravagant train.
She opted for an elegant lace gown, complete with intricate floral detailing and long sleeves.
With a veil over her face, she wore natural yet glowing makeup, styled her raven locks in loose waves, and clutched a bouquet.
In attendance were a whole host of familiar faces, including Craig Tinker actor Colson Smith and Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley.
The close pals, who also co-host a podcast with Jack, arrived smiling from ear to ear, wearing matching suits and with flowers on their lapels to complement Hanni’s arrangement.
Other guests included Bethany Platt actress Lucy Fallon, who donned a very on-trend pastel yellow frock, while Sarah Platt’s Tina O’Brien and Shona’s Julia Goulding went for floor-length, ruffled ensembles.
There was also Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass, Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, and Alan Halsall, aka Tyrone Dobbs.
They wer joined by Chris Hughes, who made it to the final of Celebrity Big Brother with Jack earlier this year. Flying solo, he was without girlfriend JoJo Siwa by his side, having just jetted back from the States.
Completing the starry crowd were Maria Connor star Samia Longchambon, who was accompanied by her pro skater husband Sylvain, and Gail Platt legend Helen Worth, who recently bowed out of the soap after 50 years on screens.
After Jack and Hanni exchanged vows, they emerged from the church to a shower of confetti, sharing a smooch in front of their nearest and dearest.
Neither bride nor groom could’ve looked happier as their loved ones cheered and snapped photos.
Ahead of their wedding, it was said that ‘no expense’ had been spared to ensure Jack and Hanni had a day to remember.
A source told The Sun: ‘Jack and Hanni are having their big white wedding at Manchester Cathedral on Saturday. They have gone all out to make sure it’s their dream day, and there has been no expense spared.
‘It’s a very grand setting getting wed at the cathedral, and it will be packed with guests, including many of Jack’s Corrie co-stars.
‘They have hired top Manchester security service Capricorn to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day, and after the ceremony, everyone will head to the five-star Lowry hotel for a lavish after-party.
‘Drake is even staying there at the moment, so who knows, he may well end up crashing the bash.’
Jack also previously confessed that he took part in CBB to help pay for his luxury wedding, not expecting to emerge as the winner of the show.
Then, a month before saying ‘I do,’ Hanni posted on Instagram: ‘Seven incredible years of memories with you.
‘Here’s to four weeks of feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed, emotional, in love and everything else that comes with being a bride.
‘I can’t wait to marry you.’
Keen to make it the wedding of the year, Jack commented: ‘It’s going to be epic.’
