Carol Kirkwood has revealed she is tying the knot with her partner Steve Randall in Buckinghamshire.
The BBC weather presenter, 61, tied the knot in Buckinghamshire on Wednesday but announced her marriage to viewers for the first time on BBC Breakfast on Friday.
She said: 'It was the most perfect, romantic and intimate wedding. We are both so incredibly happy.'
Among those offering their congratulations was former BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker, who shared a photo of the happy couple on Instagram.
He captioned the post: “Congratulations to Carol and Steve. Steve is a very happy gentleman and Carol is the best of us all.

'She is kind, caring, brilliant at her job and a wonderful person to be around. I wish them the best of luck in their new life together.'
In May 2022, Carol revealed live on BBC Breakfast that she and Steve, 48, were engaged.
The star was reporting from the Chelsea Flower Show at the time her co-host Sally Nugent jokingly expressed some 'concern' about her boyfriend after discovering a ring on her engagement finger.
She said, “I'm a little worried about you this morning. I don't know how you manage to stay upright with that giant rock on your left hand, Carol!'
Carol looked down at her hand and replied, “Oh, that one? Thanks Sal! It's kind of nice, I'm engaged.'
Sally responded to the happy news by offering a 'congratulations' on behalf of the entire team, before being allowed to 'confirm to the nation'.
She said: 'Congratulations from all of us! It's the happiest news, we're so happy. Congratulations. Can we confirm to the nation what happened?'
Carol agreed with a giggle, calling it “great news.”
The couple first announced their engagement in May 2022, with Carol proudly showing off her diamond ring at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The pair were pictured together in 2021, with Carol previously telling Prime Magazine that he 'always made her laugh' and describing him as 'extremely handsome'.
She said yes! I think you just did that, Sal. Yes, I'm engaged. We got engaged while we were on vacation. So it's wonderful news and we're both happy about it, so thank you!'
Jon Kay, co-host of BBC Breakfast, added: 'We're all thrilled, we're all so happy for you, Carol, on behalf of the whole team here and everyone watching, I'm sure. Absolutely happy.
“Looking for a spot for the marquee while you're in Chelsea, yeah?”
Carol replied, “I'm noting all the flowers, Jon. But no, there are no plans for fruit yet.'
The star had not revealed Steve's surname, but recently told Prima Magazine that he 'always made me laugh', and she described him as 'extremely handsome'.
Hampshire-based Randall split from his wife of 12 years, Nichola Randall, and mother of their teenage son, in 2017.
His ex-partner posted a message on her Facebook page in June that year suggesting there was unrest between the couple. It read, “And now it's time for me,” which was met with supportive comments from friends, including one who replied, “It's about time!”
The couple live together in Carol's £2 million home in a gated community in Berkshire, on the banks of the Thames. They probably started living together last year.
A resident of the complex told MailOnline: 'Steve is a great guy, very friendly and easy to talk to. You don't see him and Carol on the road very often, but when you do, they enjoy walking along the Thames.
'He visited Carol all the time and moved in last year. They are both very down to earth and make a nice couple.'
Another resident said: “Steve and Carol are very popular members of this community. You sometimes see them walking around and it is clear that they are both very happy with it.
'They always have time for a chat with us and we are all very happy for them.'
Carol has previously said that she and her partner have both agreed to keep their relationship private, but said he is the 'best thing that ever happened to me'.
Speaking to Prima Magazine in 2021, the TV star said: 'He always makes me a cup of tea in the morning before I go to work, which is very romantic – it's 2.45am and he often leaves me a love note behind for when I get home from work. That's worth a million red roses to me.'
The presenter was previously married to cricketer Jimmy Kirkwood, but the couple split in 2008 after 18 years of marriage.
Carol previously spoke about her divorce in an interview with the Radio Times.
The weather presenter was married to Jimmy in 1990, but separated in 2008. Their divorce was finalized in 2012.
'I found myself when I got divorced. I started doing things and thinking, 'I'm not going to say no, I'm going to say yes.
'I'm braver now. I've flown with the Red Arrows, jumped out of planes with the Red Devils.'
Following her divorce, Carol starred in Strictly Come Dancing with her dance partner Pasha Kovalev in 2015, and spoke about her love life following the demise of her marriage.
'I've been married for a long time, and I got married quite young, so it's nice to do things that I have the freedom to do now. If I want to go to the theater or have dinner with friends, I have that freedom.'
A year after starring on the show, Carol said she was dating someone, saying: 'I'm very happy with my relationship status at the moment. I'm not single. I had just met someone, so it was okay, it didn't matter.'
