PERRIE Edwards has shared a behind-the-scenes wedding video, as she officially changed her name after getting married.
The stunning singer, 32, tied the knot with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, also, 32, over the weekend in a lavish ceremony in Portugal.
For her big day, Perrie had six bridesmaids which included her sister Caitlin, her cousin Ellie, twins Lucy and Lydia Connell, manager Sam Cox and dancers Claude and Renae.

It comes as Perrie has also officially changed her name to reflect her new marital status as Alex’s wife.
On social media, the singer now goes by Perrie Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Meanwhile, joining Perrie on her big day were her two Little Mix bandmates, Jade Thirwall, 33, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 34.
Jade proved the ultimate multi-tasker, staying to watch the I Dos but leaving early into the evening celebrations to perform 335 miles away at Primavera Sound in Porto.
Leigh-Anne remained at the ceremony, with newlywed Perrie telling Vogue they hit the dancefloor together.
She told the publication: “We were absolutely going off to En Vogue… we still remembered all of our harmonies and the choreography!”
Other showbiz guests included ex Arsenal footballer Carl Jenkinson and Fulham‘s Harrison Reed.
Perrie and Alex wed in the Igreja Matriz de Estoi church, close to where they own a villa.
After their nuptials they headed to their wedding reception at the nearby restaurant Parrilla Natural.
The newlyweds shut down the Faro venue for the lavish event, which saw the place transformed with fresh flowers and white linen.
A source told The Sun: “Perrie and Alex’s wedding day could not have been more special.
“It was intimate and emotional.
“Perrie and Alex’s son Axel had a special role to play in the ceremony. It was adorable to see.
“She looked absolutely radiant and Alex didn’t stop smiling. It was a truly beautiful day.”
Insiders revealed Perrie and Alex had chosen to wait until after the birth of their daughter Alanis to wed.
“Perrie and Alex love the Algarve and have a home there, so they knew they wanted to get married there,” a friend added.
“Their guests were driven from their hotel to a top-secret venue for the ceremony, before being taken to Parrilla Natural for the reception.
“The weather was absolutely perfect too. The pictures are amazing.”
Insiders also said that generous Perrie and Alex put their guests up at the five star hotel Conrad Algarve, where it costs up to £2,800-a-night.
The newlyweds have been dating for over ten years and were engaged four years ago, after Alex proposed on a beachfront while they were on holiday.
They share two children – Axel, four, and Alanis, six-onths.
The pair first started dating back in 2016, with their big day falling close to their 10-year-anniversary.
