They've been together for 32 years and engaged for 11 - and Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan finally made an honest woman of Victoria Mary Clarke on Monday.
The bride, 52, wore a long orange dress with a floral headdress and carried matching flowers, while Shane, 60, looked smart in a suit as he posed for pictures alongside A-list actor Johnny Depp and a host of guests.
Shane has been wheelchair bound, on and off since a bad fall damaged his back a few years ago. He has a well-documented history of drink and drugs and famously got his teeth fixed in 2015 after losing the final one in 2009.
There's the ring: Wheelchair bound Pogues' frontman Shane MacGowan, 60, tied the knot with his girlfriend of 32 years, Victoria Mary Clarke, 52, at Copenhagen City Hall on Monday - they were engaged for 11 years
Low-key: The couple had planned to have a secret ceremony together but realised that their close friends wanted to be there for them - including A-lister Johnny Depp, who played the guitar during the ceremony
Depp, 55, Shane's friend of more than 20 years, played the guitar for the couple during the low-key ceremony, which was held at Copenhagen City Hall.
Johnny appeared on Shane's 1994 album, The Snake. He directed and appeared in the video for That Woman’s Got Me Drinking. Depp also put in a performance at the singer's 60th birthday in Dublin earlier this year.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, journalist and bride Victoria said ahead of the couple's big day: 'Shane and I are both introverts and we decided that the only solution was to just elope together to someplace that we know nobody and nobody knows us, and keep it a secret.

'But I have discovered something about weddings that I had not realised. People really, really want to show that they love the people that they care about.
'So, much as we might have liked our wedding to be a non-event, and because we have found it impossible to keep it a total secret, a few of our friends and family have elected to make it a tiny but beautiful thing.'
Meanwhile, the relationship between Shane and his loyal girlfriend is set to be made into a film, with Johnny thought to be in the running to play the singer.
Victoria previously took to Twitter and wrote: 'Supposing there is a film being made about us who could play #shanemacgowan?

She said: 'I was awe-struck by him. I became consumed by the thought of him. He says that he felt the same way, that we were destined to be together. But ours were not to be easy, uncomplicated lives and ours was not to be an uncomplicated love affair.

She previously told the site that drinking was not her love's only problem, and she once found him with a needle in his leg, but she said 'you can't help who you fall in love with.'
Victoria said: 'When he answered the door to me after having missed his flight to the United States to open for Bob Dylan, and there was blood pouring out of his mouth because he had eaten a Beach Boys record, it looked as though it was the 100 tabs of acid that were the problem and not the gin and tonic.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
