Meanwhile husband Aston was supported by his best man Berkan and his groomsman, Michael, Jeffrey, Dax and bandmate Marvin Humes.
The couple also celebrated their big day with their children Grayson, four, and Macaulay, two.
In a video clip shared with OK, Aston, 34, steadied his pre-ceremony nerves by concentrating on the boys as he steamed their suits. He was also seen changing Macaulay’s nappy.
He said: “Sometimes kids don’t like getting dressed so we made such a big thing about their suits and made it into a bit of a game.

“They were so wired and excited when we were getting ready, but then Macaulay fell asleep in the car on the way to the venue.”

Aston then arrived at Liverpool’s Sefton Park Palm House, where a sea of pampas grass flowed down the aisle.
Guests then began to take their seats for the ceremony at 2pm, however the event began almost an hour late after Sarah was unfortunately stuck in traffic.
Once she arrived in her Rolls Royce, Sarah made her grand entrance through the gates before she walked down the aisle while holing her brothers Jason and Matt.

Wearing a plunging white gown with a thigh-high split, Sarah looked absolutely stunning as she glided down the aisle.
Marvin and Sarah’s wedding was filled with famous faces as bandmate Oritsé Williams, Marvin’s wife Rochelle Humes, Alesha Dixon, Louis Smith and Kimberly Wyatt were amongst the famous faces.
JLS band member JB Gill had been given the very special opportunity of officiating the ceremony for the newlyweds and gave the 155 attendees insight into their love story before pronouncing them husband and wife.

Speaking about how they first met he said: “I suppose I should start from the beginning. The beginning of our journey was at rehearsals.
“You came in in your purple DMs [Dr. Martens], a beautiful smile, magnetic energy and an infectious laugh.
“We actually spent the whole day just catching eyes from across the room. I was infatuated from the moment I saw you.”
“We were on tour and we did have what I think and class as the most amazing connection. You soon become one of my closest friends without even realising it.”

During his speech, Marvin also admitted that Sarah made the first move.
He continued: “We were in Birmingham and I was like, ‘Yeah this is great and cool,’ and then we got in the lift and Sarah put in on me!
“She did, she planted one on me in the middle of the lift and I was like, ‘Ok wow, amazing, great’. Flash forward and I watch you with our boys and I don’t know how but I fall in love with you more every single time, every day.
“I know how truly lucky I am to have you and I promise you I know how lucky I am. I will treasure you every single day of your life that you will let me.

He finished off by saying: “I’m now your husband and me finally being able to call you Sarah Louise Merrygold, my wife. I love you.”
As the speeches wrapped up, the couple decided to ditch their first dance and failed to cut their wedding cake until the end of the night due to running behind schedule.
But as their guests hit the dance floor, Sarah looked mesmerising as she changed into a silk wedding dress from Halfpenny London.
Later on in the night, the attendees were treated to a speculator firework display as they partied until 1:30am.
