Harry, 29, and Fern, 27, were married at the Chateau de Varennes in southern France, voted one of the top ten wedding locations in the world.

The wedding party is understood to have flown to France on a private jet on Thursday.

Fern was then joined by her bridesmaids – including England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan Davison.

Harry’s sister Daisy, 21, was maid of honor for the big event, while his brothers Laurence, 25, and Joe, 30, also arrived.

It came after the couple had a registry ceremony in Crewe last month to obtain a British marriage certificate.

Around 30 guests attended the fairytale ceremony at the Chapel of Burgundy, which has its own chapel and acres of land.

The happy day will surely come as a relief to the couple who found themselves at the center of a bomb alert in May.

They were forced to flee their homeland after the email threat in April.

Cheshire Police searched the premises but no device was found.

Centre-back Harry later slammed Utd fans for broadcasting the threat, which came during a difficult season for the club.

He said: “Of course I will be criticized. Manchester United paid a large sum of money for me, they are one of the most popular clubs in the world and one of the most hated.

“We know that we are the most scrutinized. I accept criticism when we concede goals or make mistakes. I’m big enough to accept people getting on my back and saying I can improve.

“But there is a limit to where we humans are. I have a family.

“It doesn’t affect me too much, but when it comes to bomb threats, it’s more about my family – my fiancée Fern.

“I’m just glad my kids are at an age where they don’t read and don’t watch the news.”

The skipper came under fire repeatedly throughout the season, resulting in Utd finishing a miserable sixth in the league.

Harry, who joined the Red Devils for a record-breaking £80million in 2019, appears to be out of shape.

He was also booed by English fans in the Three Lions’ 1-0 win over Ivory Coast at Wembley in March.

The Fern Science and Physiotherapy graduate first met Harry when he was 18 and playing for Sheffield United’s youth team.

The couple got engaged in Paris in 2018 and have daughters Lillie Saint and Piper Rose together.

Fern shared a picture of her in a Future Mrs Maguire veil three weeks ago as the wedding countdown began.
