England cricketer Ben Stokes has married his fiancee Clare Ratcliffe.
The couple tied the knot at the church of St Mary the Virgin in Somerset.
Among the guests were England Test captain Joe Root, former skipper Alastair Cook, fast bowler Stuart Broad, wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and county colleague Paul Collingwood.
Guests sang hymns including Jerusalem during the 40-minute service.
Earlier this week representatives of Stokes said the cricketer will offer a full explanation of the incident in Bristol last month which could cost him his Ashes place "when the time is right".
The England allrounder was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm following a disturbance outside a nightclub in the city on September 25.
He will not travel to Australia with the rest of the England squad for next month's Ashes series as he waits to learn whether he will face criminal charges.
The Christchurch-born 26-year-old has not been ruled out of the five-Test series which starts on November 23, but the England and Wales Cricket Board will not consider him for selection until further notice as it awaits developments in the ongoing investigation.
Neil Fairbrother, Stokes' agent with International Sports Management, said the player would discuss his version of events in due course, but did not wish to prejudice the investigation.
Stokes' contract with sports equipment manufacturer New Balance was terminated on Wednesday.
New Balance said it "does not condone behaviour ... that does not match our brand culture and values" as it ended its relationship with Stokes.
The company's decision was announced hours after Stokes apologised to Katie Price and her disabled son Harvey after a video emerged of Stokes impersonating the pair.
The video came to light shortly after Stokes' arrest last month.
Stokes, who is also subject to internal disciplinary action, has had his central contract renewed by the ECB since his arrest.
