Lorraine Stanley looked sensational as she tied the knot with long-term partner Mark Perez at picturesque country ceremony in Harpenden, Hertfordshire on Thursday.
The EastEnders actress, 49, who revealed she’d lost a whopping 6.5st following weight-loss surgery, was the epitome of elegance in a white ruffled gown.
Lorraine’s gorgeous dress boasted a boat neck and chic polkadot print which she teamed with a traditional veil and pearl jewellery, as she said ‘I do’ 18-months after her soap axe as Karen Taylor.
The actress showcased her new wedding band as she clutched her bouquet and sipped champagne with guests following the ceremony.
Groom Mark, who has been in a relationship with Lorraine for 12 years, could not wipe the smile of his face, looking dapper in a green three-piece piece which was matched with a crisp white shirt and gold tie.
Meanwhile their daughter Nancy, 10, looked lovely as their flower girl in a pale pink princess dress with flowers in her hair.

The sun-soaked nuptials were attended by family and friends as well as Lorraine’s former on-screen son Danny Walters, who played Keanu, before being killed off as part of an explosive Christmas storyline last year.
The actor, 32, looked smart in a pale blue suit but forwent a tie as he joined by long term partner Maddi, three months after the couple welcomed their first child, baby daughter Autumn.
Earlier this month Lorraine revealed that she had weight-loss surgery after becoming ‘immune’ to jabs.
The soap star, who appeared in the BBC EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two years, shedding an impressive 6.5 stone.
In a new interview, she opened up about how she achieved her incredibly slimmed-down figure.
Lorraine revealed that she had a gastric sleeve fitted two years ago, explaining to New magazine: ‘I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done.
‘It’s hands-down the best thing I’ve ever done – both for me and for my family.’
Lorraine previously tried weight loss jab Wegovy, but felt it eventually stopped working for her as she became ‘immune’ to it.

It comes a month after Lorraine shared an Instagram photo as she proudly showed off her slimmer frame.
Posting a snap from an event, Lorraine looked gorgeous in a green and pink print co-ord.
Taking to her Instagram story, she also revealed a new milestone in her lifestyle overhaul.
She told fans: ‘I’m five months sober and still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety.’
Lorraine’s former co-stars rushed to the comments to praise the actress, with Diane Parish, who plays Denise in EastEnders, writing: ‘You look incredible!’
Martin Fowler actor James Bye agreed, gushing in the comments: ‘Look at you skinny minny xx miss you mate xx’
Lorraine has shared pictures with her social media followers along the way – and revealed she now feels better than ever.
On Instagram at the time, she said: ‘What a difference a year makes.

‘Five stone down, feeling good, clean living, healthy choices, new me, healthy mummy.’
The actress – who lost 12lbs in her first six weeks on the new diet – frequently praised her pal and fitness guru Louise.
She also praises her nutritionist friend who ‘clued her up when it came to what she was eating day-to-day’.
Her gruelling daily workouts and a well-balanced food regime had a positive impact in Lorraine’s life, who said of her journey: ‘I’m enjoying it and I feel better for it.’
Spilling her diet hacks while chatting to Woman’s Own magazine, Lorraine said: ‘My mate Louise is my fitness guru. I’ve got her to thank for it.’
The actress recalled: ‘I’ve eaten a lot of boiled eggs, fish, chicken, no carbs, no crisps and no chocolate.’
