Ciara and Russell Wilson are officially husband and wife!

E! News has learned that the duo just tied the knot in front of close friends and family at the Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England. The bride wore a custom Roberto Cavalli dress, designed by the label's creative director, Peter Dundas.

One of Ciara's besties, Jennifer Hudson, couldn't help but capture her day leading up to the nuptials on social media, showing fans photos of her beautiful gown as she prepared to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Wilson.

Meanwhile, photos surfaced of the couple looking elegant as always, with the NFL star wearing an all-black suit, while the bride wore a flowing halter gown with her tresses pulled back into a ponytail as they made their way to their rehearsal dinner at the Titanic Hotel on Tuesday.

Wilson took to Twitter earlier that day to write, "Overflow of Blessings! God is so good!"

The R&B crooner married her professional athlete beau after a whirlwind romance that began back in April 2015, when the two were spotted on several outings together—including the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

And less than one year after going public with their relationship, the two revealed that they were engaged.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback posted a video on Instagram with him proclaiming, "She said yes! Yeah!" in the background as his bride-to-be (at the time) blushed and showed off her massive diamond sparkler.

"Yay! I'm so excited," Ciara added. "God is so good."

In addition to their emotional video, Wilson penned a heartfelt caption. "She said Yes!!! Since Day 1 I knew you were the one," he wrote. "No Greater feeling... #TrueLove @Ciara."

The gush-fest didn't quite end there, though. Ciara took to Twitter to write: "God Is Good! Grateful For You @DangRussWilson. You Are Heaven Sent. I'm Looking Forward To Spending Forever With You."

This marks the first marriage for the "Body Party" singer and the second for the football star, who was previously married from January 2012 to April 2014.

Ciara was previously engaged to rapper Future back in October 2013, but they called off their engagement almost one year later. The two share one son together, baby Future Zahir Wilburn, who was born May 19, 2014.

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson!
