Boris Johnson, Prime Minister Of United Kingdom, Marries Carrie Symonds At Westminster Cathedral

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has married his fiancee Carrie Symonds in a secretly-planned wedding at Westminster Cathedral. The marriage took place in a "small ceremony" on May 29 afternoon, reported BBC. Reportedly, the couple would celebrate again with family & friends next summer, with their honeymoon also delayed until then. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has already returned to work. He is the first PM to get married while in office in nearly 200 years. The Mail on May 30 reported that 30 guests were invited to the ceremony at short notice - the maximum number of attendees allowed under Covid-19 restrictions in England. Although PM Johnson, 56, has been married twice before, the Roman Catholic Church can allow divorcees to remarry if the previous marriages were outside the Roman Catholic Church. Boris Johnson likes to avoid talking about his private life - he's declined to answer questions on the topic for the past few years. The new Mrs Johnson, who has confirmed she will take her husband's surname, wore a white dress to exchange vows with the prime minister. The couple was first romantically linked by the media in early 2019. In February 2020, they revealed that they were engaged & that she was pregnant. Their son, Wilfred, was born last April.
