Louise wore a stunning ivory Ronald Joyce gown for her big day, Mirror UK reported. The Connie 60040 tulle and satin gown has been designed by Veni Infantino. It features a perfectly structured bodice in satin, while the voluminous skirt is of tulle fabric.

The strapless number with an embellished bodice and princess-esque full skirt is from the label's Bridal collection for spring 2015. The actress paired it with a long flowing sheer veil. The ensemble gave a very glam 1920s and 1930s vibe to Harris's look.

She accessorized the romantic confection with a crystal tiara and Swarovski crystal shoes, custom made for her by Jimmy Choo. She said that her heart skips a beat every time she sees the gown designed by the designer. She added that Jimmy Choo told her: "'Louise I want to design you a shoe that no one else in the world has.' I could never have imagined something so special. I've called it the Mrs Watson.'"

She carried a bouquet of white roses in hand. Meanwhile, 48-year-old Watson looked dapper in a midnight blue suit and trouser combo. He paired it with a crisp white shirt and a white tie, matching his lady love's wedding gown. The English tenor accessorized with two white roses pinned to his lapel.

Watson said that Louise had taught him many things, but the foremost of all was ow to love. He added that he has never been happier and it was a fairytale wedding.

Watson battled two brain tumors, the first of which was initially diagnosed in 2006. The second brain tumor almost killed him, when a meeting with Louise in a restaurant changed his life. The couple met in Alderley Edge in their home country and got engaged in Dec. 2013.

Watson said that seeing his bride for the first time in her wedding gown made him happy, proud and full of love. He added that he was happy that he led the singing of the hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" that was chosen for the ceremony because of their love of animals.

Meanwhile it's back to work and honeymoon has to wait as Watson will be performing at Proms in London's Hyde Park on Sept. 12. He is also currently on tour in the UK and Ireland.
