Charlotte skips the church for a woodland wedding

- By Alisha Rouse Showbusine­ss Correspond­ent

A FEW months ago they revealed they were grieving the loss of their unborn child.

Yesterday, however, Charlotte Church and her long-term boyfriend Jonathan Powell were able to describe themselves as ‘seriously happy people’ as they revealed they had secretly wed.

The couple married at a register office in Cardiff last month before having a blessing ceremony under a tree decorated with brightly-coloured flowers at their £1.5million home.

Welsh singer Miss Church, 1, yesterday tweeted a photo taken by her cousin Elliot Cooper of the pair holding hands at the ceremony.

She wore an off-the-shoulder gown with a floral crown and her musician husband, 0, was in an outlandish suit with a pattern that would not have looked out of place on a Moroccan carpet.

A source close to the couple said: ‘Charlotte and Jonathan wanted to keep things low key and swore all the guests to secrecy.’

Miss Church – worth a reported £9million – began dating Mr Powell in 2010 after splitting from then fiance rugby star Gavin Henson.

She has two children with Henson, Ruby, ten, and Dexter, eight.
