Lily Allen's English country wedding

Days after her June 11th wedding to fiance Sam Cooper, English singer-songwriter Lily Allen unveiled her updated Twitter handle - @lilyroseallen traded in her old account to become @lilyrosecooper - and in a public message thanked friends, family, and more for her perfect day. 'I had the most amazing wedding,' she Tweeted. 'Thank you to everyone who went to such extraordinary efforts to make it that way.'

The couple exchanged vows at St. James the Great Church in the village of Cranham, near Stroud, in Gloucestershire. Allen wore a custom-made vintage lace gown by French designer Delphine Manivet, quashing reports that the dress would be made by her close friend, Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Allen's wedding day was made even more special for family and friends when Cooper announced at the wedding breakfast that his new wife is over three months pregnant - welcome news after the couple lost their first child, a boy, when she was six months pregnant last November. "There were tears all around," a friend told the Daily Mail of the announcement. "This is the happiest day of Lily and Sam's lives and they are so in love. This is the icing on the wedding cake!"

Allen and builder Cooper met at the Glastonbury rock festival in Scotland in June 2009, following relationships with higher profile men including Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers - with whom she suffered a first miscarriage in early 2008. They announced their engagement in January after he proposed over the Christmas holidays, solidifying their union amid their heartbreak.
