Among those in attendance were celeb couple David and Victoria Beckham, singer Ed Sheeran and actor David Walliams.

Sir Elton John and Furnish are raising two sons and have entered into civil partnership in 2005.

Their first son, Zachary, was born in 2010, while their second son, Elijah, was born in 2013.

The legendary crooner has been detailing their wedding on Instagram.

"Zachary grabs David's iPhone and takes a photo of his brother while we exchange our vows," Sir Elton John captioned.

The singer has been using the hashtag #ShareTheLove on every post he made Sunday.

The Beckhams' eldest son, Brooklyn, Instagrammed a pic of the wedding lunch menu, as well as the post: "Amazing day with family and special friends congratulations Uncle Elton and Uncle David #ShareTheLove."

The couple were committed to a civil partnership ceremony December 21, 2005 at the Windsor Guildhall.

In March, England and Wales legalized same-sex union.

Sir Elton announced his great joy over the changing of marriage laws in England and Wales, saying he was "very proud" of that.

"Having our civil partnership was an incredible breakthrough for people that have campaigned for a long time - through the 60s and the 50s in England when it was so hard to be gay and hard to be open about it. And it was a criminal act," he said in an interview with BBC.

"So for this legislation to come through is joyous, and we should celebrate it. We shouldn't just say, 'Oh, well we have a civil partnership. We're not going to bother to get married'. We will get married."
