Married: Les Dennis tied the knot with Claire Nicholson
The actor and former Family Fortunes host tied the knot at a ceremony in Highgate, north London, with friends and family.
It is 56-year-old Dennis's third marriage. He split from second wife Amanda Holden in 2002.
Dennis met business coach Nicholson, 38, in November 2005 at the fundraising Butterfly Ball, in memory of former Holby City actress Laura Sadler.
The couple exchanged vows today at a church ceremony at St Augustine of Canterbury Church in Highgate, following a register office ceremony.
Dennis had two best men, both old friends of the star, while his new wife had two best women. Their daughter Eleanor was flower girl in an ivory outfit.
The couple, who had declined offers from magazines to cover the occasion, are to delay their honeymoon until the New Year.
The wedding was attended by around 160 guests including actress Michelle Collins, entertainer Lionel Blair and Loose Women presenters Carol McGiffin, Sherrie Hewson and Denise Welch.
Nicholson wore a strapless, full-length ivory Rosa Clara silk gown with tiers of silk chiffon, with faux marabou fur wrap.
Dennis has been touring in High School Musical 2, and is lined up to appear in Peter Pan with Henry Winkler at the Liverpool Empire this Christmas.
Dennis's son Philip, 29, from his first marriage to Lynne Webster, was also among the guests.
A spokeswoman for Dennis said: "It was a wonderful occasion. Les and Claire looked sublimely happy and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day."
