JAKARTA - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds officially married in 'secret' at Westminster Cathedral, London on Saturday, May 29, as reported by The Sun and Mail.

However, PM Johnson and Carrie Symonds chose not to go on a honeymoon right away, after holding a modest and limited wedding reception in the courtyard of his official residence, 10 Downing Street.

The couple is said to be planning to take time off and celebrate their wedding, with a larger group of family and friends next summer.

Engaged on Mustique Island at the end of 2019 and have a son named Wilfred who was born last April 2020. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Carrie are said to be getting married on July 30, 2022, after their wedding invitations circulated last week.

The desire to get married previously had to be postponed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in the UK. However, Prime Minister Johnson's third marriage last Saturday took many by surprise, including staff in the UK Prime Minister's Office. Guests are called invited at the last minute.

The Westminster Cathedral was closed to the public at around 1.30 p.m. local time when Carrie arrived in a limousine half an hour later. The wedding ceremony is said to be presided over by Pastor Daniel Humphreys.

A number of British colleagues and politicians also congratulated PM Johnson and Carrie. British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab wrote on Twitter: "Congratulations, hope @BorisJohnson and @carriesymonds are always happy" while posting a photo after PM Johnson and Carrie got married.

The minister for children and families, Vicky Ford, sent his congratulations and “huge love to Wilf, adding: “So many weddings have been postponed and disrupted by COVID. Life is always better with love", wrote Ford.

Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster wrote: "Huge congratulations to Boris Johnson & Carrie Symonds on your wedding", on Twitter.

Member of the British Parliament Suella Braverman wrote: "Congratulations @carriesymonds and @BorisJohnson on your marriage. Wishing you both a happy life together".
