Lily Allen Ties the Knot

British recording artist Lily Allen, 26, is a married woman. The outspoken pop star wore a lacy veiled headress, platform heels and a traditional white gown by French designer Delphine Manivet as she exchanged vows Saturday with longtime beau Sam Cooper.

The ceremony took place in the English countryside, at a centuries-old church in the quaint Gloucestershire village of Cranham, where a cheering crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds as they exited the house of worship. Fans were alerted to the singer's nuptials when a guest leaked the Save-the-Date card to the press back in March.

About 100 guests reportedly attended the wedding, with 300 friends and family in attendance at the private reception on the grounds of an estate the Grammy nominee owns in Cranham.

The bride's father, musician and actor Keith Allen, walked her down the aisle, according to People.com.

The happy couple, who began dating in 2009, got engaged when Cooper popped the question on Christmas Day 2010 while vacationing with Allen in Bali.
Heartbreak plagued Allen's personal life in the past two years, as she suffered two miscarriages, the most recent one in November 2010. Allen has described Cooper, 32, as "the love of my life."
