Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are officially married
The pair announced their engagement in September
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who met while they were co-stars on hit TV series Game of Thrones, have officially tied the knot over the weekend.
The couple, both 31, officially married in a beautiful ceremony in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at 12th century Wardhill Castle.
The wedding was attended by some of their Game Of Thrones co-stars, including Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Emilia Clarke.
Speaking outside the castle, Rose's dad Sebastian said: ‘We are absolutely thrilled for Kit and Rose to be marrying today. It’s an absolutely lovely day for us.
'It’s a great day for Aberdeenshire. We are using local caterers, local lighting, local flowers.’
The pair announced they were engaged back in September in The Times newspaper, after months of speculation.
The announcement read: 'The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harrington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire.'

The couple dated for five years before getting engaged, having met on the set of the hit show, Game of Thrones, where they played on-screen lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte, in 2012.
They didn't go public with their relationship for years, but Kit has since spoken candidly about falling in love with his former co-star.
He told Vogue that the three weeks in Iceland when they filmed the second season in 2012 were his best memory of the show.
'Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love,’ he said.
Shortly before announcing their engagement, Kit and Rose also revealed they had moved in together in East Anglia, where they bought a £1.75 million house.
'I’ve moved in with my other best friend Rose, so I’m very happy,’ Kit told James Corden in June last year. ‘It’s going well, so she’s got all sorts of ideas for the house.’
He added: ‘I said to her, cause she’s moved into my house, “Look darling, it’s important that this is our space. That it feels like our space. That you haven’t just moved into mine. Move anything you want around, change anything, chuck anything out.”‘
