Lauren and Carlie met when they were teenagers
Olympic boxing champion Lauren Price said it was the "best day of our lives" as she married her long-term partner Carlie Jones at a ceremony in south Wales.
The couple tied the knot at Sant Ffraed House near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, on Saturday, surrounded by family and friends.
Price, 31, who won gold for Team GB at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and is the unified welterweight world champion, has been in a relationship with Jones since they met as teenagers.
The wedding took place on the same day Price was named on the Independent's Pride List 2026, recognising influential LGBTQ+ figures from across the UK.
The venue manager at Sant Ffraed House described it as a "knockout day"
In an Instagram post, Price described it as "the best day of our lives".
"It's hard to put into words how amazingly perfect our day was. We got to share our love story with our favourite people," she said.
"To my wife I'm in awe of you. I could not be more proud to call you my wife."

Rebecca Chick, founder of Eva Ashley Bridal, which designed the pair's dresses, said it was a "privilege to play a small part in celebrating the love shared by Lauren and Carlie".
"Both brides looked breathtaking in the gowns we chose together. I wish them every happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter together."
Greg Chester, venue manager at Sant Ffraed House described it as a "knockout day", including an "impropmptu first dance on the terrace at sunset".
"Lauren and Carlie's love shone through in every moment, and both brides looked absolutely beautiful. We're so proud to have hosted such a special day for them," he added.
Price has won all 10 fights since turning professional
Price is one of Wales' most successful athletes, becoming the first Welsh boxer to win Olympic gold at Tokyo in 2020, and winning all 10 fights since turning professional.
In April she beat Stephanie Pineiro on points in Cardiff to retain her welterweight titles in Cardiff before calling for a future fight with Claressa Shields.
On Saturday she was also featured on the Independent's Pride List, which also includes comedian Alan Carr, rugby player Meg Jones and singer Lola Young.
