Sophie Austin, who is best known for playing Lindsey Roscoe on Hollyoaks, has married her long-term fiancé Graeme Rooney. The actress and the actor said "I do" in the bride's home village of Takeley, Essex on Saturday.

The radiant bride was picture perfect in a strapless white dress that featured a floral lace overlay. Sophie, 30, pulled her hair into a thick bun and fastened her locks in place with a bejewelled hairpiece. She topped off her traditional look with a flowing veil and a bouquet of white roses and flowers.

"The most amazing day of my life, I married my love and my best friend @GraemeMRooney," the bride captioned the photo montage.

"Unbelievable weekend. Saturday was just amazing thanks everyone and I'm just one v lucky chap!" wrote Graeme on Twitter.

Sophie has been playing the role of Lindsey for two years, while her other half, who is also an actor, features on The Ginge, The Geordie and The Geek, the sketch show he helped co-write.

According to multiple reports, Sophie and Graeme have postponed their honeymoon until the actress' role in the Gloved Hand Killer storyline is over.

This time last year, the pretty brunette opened up to the Express about her wedding day look, saying that she wanted a "classic and vintage" dress. She also revealed that her favourite piece of jewellery was her engagement ring.

"Years ago I told my best friend that I wanted an Edwardian daisy ring when I got engaged," said Sophie. "Graeme found out and spent months tracking one down, bless him."
