Ed Sheeran reportedly married his childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn at a super intimate family ceremony just before Christmas

According to reports in The Mirror today, the couple were married in a church in the sleepy Suffolk town of Wingfield, close to where Cherry’s parents live.

And the guestlist was extremely limited, with some reports claiming there were only 40 guests in attendance.

“There were only very closest friends and family there,” a source told the publication. “Even some of his longtime mates weren’t invited.

“Ed had managed to schedule a break in his world tour for December so that's when they tied the knot. It was held at the church in Wingfield and the reception was at the local pub.

“He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them – just a tiny winter wedding.”

The pair got engaged in January last year, with Ed making the announcement on Instagram.

“Got myself a fiancé just before new year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well xx,” he wrote, alongside a cute picture of the two of them.
