Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot and his bride Claudia Lopes danced the night away after a lavish wedding in southern Portugal.
In a popular period for footballer nuptials, the Red Devils star tied the knot with his partner at the stunning Palace of Queluz in the Portuguese Riviera on Saturday night.
Though none of his club or international colleagues were spotted a series of Instagram stories uploaded to the pair's social media accounts, the occasion was nevertheless marked by jubilant guests who shared in the loving spirit of the night.
In one of the clips taken later on in the night, Dalot could be seen taking the stage with Portuguese musicians Richie Campbell and Plutonio. While in another, he and Lopes took to the dance floor with the defender showing his eye-catching moves.
Dalot, who joined the Old Trafford club in 2018, and Lopes have been together since 2020. Lopes even joined him in Italy when he spent a year on loan with AC Milan during the 2020-21 season.
The couple announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl called Clara late last year.

In addition to the festivities later on in the night, the two also shared a heartwarming moment while delivering their vowels.
The beaming smiles could not be swept from the happy couple's faces as they lapped up the love from all their guests in attendance.
The special event will no doubt have been a welcome distraction to the United defender after a miserable season for his club.
Dalot has been a regular starter under his compatriot Ruben Amorim, who joined the club in November and presided over the Red Devils' worst-ever Premier League campaign.
Amorim came under huge pressure after United Europa League final defeat by Tottenham, with some calling for him to be dismissed after only six months in the job. But Dalot backed the boss who has shown faith in him and insisted he is the right man to take United forward.
'I'm 100 per cent sure that he's the right man for us because I see it every day, the standards that he has, what he demands from us, the view that he has for the club, for the players, for the coaching staff,' he said.
'A lot of changes are happening at the same time, but ultimately it's going to be what we do on the pitch. We have to take responsibility from that.
'Nobody apart from us is going to the pitch and try to get results. So this season it's been obviously a very way off how this club should be and the way this club deserves.
'We have to take responsibility on that and take this time that we're going to be away.'
Amorim will remain in charge this summer and lead a recruitment drive that he will hope will better equip him to compete next term.
Dalot, who has made at least 50 appearances in each of the last two seasons, is expected to continue to feature heavily for the Red Devils next term, with additions in the attacking areas seen as prioritise this window.
