His chart-topping career has taken him around the world, but it was in his native Essex that singer-songwriter Olly Murs chose to tie the knot with fiancée Amelia Tank.
And the newlyweds are still on cloud nine, exclusively sharing their wedding album and chatting to HELLO! following an unforgettable three-day wedding in the secluded haven of Osea Island in the Blackwater Estuary.
"I was blown away by how amazing it was. It was quite magical the perfect celebration of our love," says former The X Factor star Olly, 39, as he and Amelia, 31, who competes as a fitness model alongside her full-time job in London, excitedly show us their new wedding bands.
Given that the groom is one of the UK's best-loved pop stars, it's little surprise the weekend, which culminated in a festival dubbed. "Murs Fest", was soundtracked by host of top-notch musical performers, including Olly himself and R&B star Craig David.
STARTING THE PARTY
Celebrations kicked off with a Friday-night welcome barbecue attended by their closest friends and family on the island, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Essex, the county Witham-born Olly and Amelia, who grew up in Plymouth, now call home.
They said "I do" at 2pm the following day, with Olly's nephews Louie and Quinn the first to walk down the aisle, which was lined with white blooms and candles, followed by bridesmaids including the star's sister Fay and some of Amelia's best friends.
Once her mother had made her way down the aisle to a cheer from the congregation - it was time for the bride herself to make her entrance on the arm of her proud father.
Amelia was every inch the radiant bride in a corseted gown by Pallas Couture, embellished with beaded floral appliqués.
