The couple have been together for five years
The pair - who have been dating since 2020 - posted a series of snaps of them following their nuptials.
In one snap, the newlyweds can be seen posing in a picturesque grassy area with the bride posing for the camera in a plunging white wedding dress and veil as Connor - who opted for a beige three-piece suit - gazes at Monica.
While another shows the pair sharing a kiss as they sit at a table during their wedding reception.
Captioning the post, TikTok star Monica, who has 1.1 million followers on TikTok, wrote: '27.06.2025. I married the love of my life. Here's to forever.' Connor then reshared the post to his own Instagram.
The couple were congratulated on their nuptials as their family and friends flocked to the comments section underneath the post.
One gushed: 'This is amazing!!! Huuuuge congrats to you both!!!'
While another wrote: 'Congratulations you two beautiful people.'
And a third posted: 'The most magical day ever, congratulations Mr & Mrs Calland.'
Coronation Street star Julia Goulding and Emmerdale hunk Lewis Cope also showed their love by leaving heart emojis underneath the post.
The Sun Online revealed back in 2023 how Connor had popped the question to Monica after almost three years of dating.

Connor is best known for playing bad boy Jordan Price on the Channel 4 soap.
His character made his first appearance in 2020 and left the village a year later after he was fatally stabbed.
He landed a role in hit TV show Adolescence, playing PC Jenkins, which was released earlier this year.
He said of the job: 'Last summer I had the absolute honour working with ridiculously talented cast and creative crews.
'I also got to fulfil a huge career goal of mine, which was to act alongside an actor who inspired me to do this as a career.
'I feel so fortunate and blessed to be a part of this production and cannot wait for the world to see it.'

Riddle is 'impossible' if you can't find answer 'staring you in face'
This riddle may seem impossible to solve – but if you spot the clue hiding inside the question, you're bound to get it correct. So can you figure it out? Brainteasers are a brillian way to keep your mind active. Research has shown they can be beneficial for your mental fitness in a number of ways as they can require critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. They have the potential to improve cognitive abilities when completed regularly – but that isn't the only bonus. They're also highly entertaining and can help to ward off boredom. So if you're in need of a brain boost or a bit of fun today, why not give this tricky riddle a go? The question was posed during an episode of Lateral with Tom Scott, which is a comedy panel game podcast about strange questions that have even stranger answers. In a clip of the podcast shared on TikTok, host Tom Scott asked his panellists: "Massachusetts' New England merch only names Irish cities. Why is this ironic?" The statement left many people completely baffled – especially as the US state has nothing to do with Irish cities. Therefore, they wouldn't sell merch there. So to get the solution, you must look a little bit closer. Tom revealed the exact wording of the statement was very important. And if you need some extra help, try looking a bit closer at the words themselves rather than getting caught up in the meaning of sentence. Have you worked out the "impossible" riddle yet? Don't scroll any further if you haven't, as we're about to give you the answer. Answer The statement is a mnemonic, a phrase used to help you remember important information or how to spell tricky words. Think "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" to remember compass directions, "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" to recall the colours of the rainbow or "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets" for the solar system. "Massachusetts' New England Merch Only Names Irish Cities" is also a mnemonic – and it spells the word mnemonic! Even with that explanation, some were still confused. They took to the comments section to share their thoughts. One riddler said: "I can't handle the confusion." Another added: "I would actually hang up the call." And another confessed: "I love this podcast, I hated this question. Not because it's a bad question, I just had loading screen brain the whole time."

People call me a ‘bad mum' for letting my 7-year-old get a spray tan – they need to mind their own business
She's not the only mum to come under fire NO KIDDING People call me a 'bad mum' for letting my 7-year-old get a spray tan – they need to mind their own business Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM has clapped back at trolls who slammed her for letting her seven-year-old daughter get a spray tan. The fiery parent took to TikTok to share a sweet moment between her and her little girl, explaining that her daughter had asked for a spray tan and so she booked them both in for one. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Haters felt she was 'normalising' children spray tanning Credit: TIKTOK @_THE1STNOEL 2 A mum has come under fire after taking her seven-year-old for a spray tan In the video, Tiktoker Noel LaPalomento explained her pamper day plans, which included heading with her seven-year-old to Glow Lab, an airbrush tanning salon in West London. And while some viewers thought it was adorable, with comments like 'Mum goals!' and 'This is exactly what I want to do with my future daughter', others were less than impressed. One wrote: 'Sorry but you're a bad mum. Let the child be a child.' Another snapped: 'Kids grow so fast nowadays – uhm idk, maybe because you let them? She's 7, she doesn't need a spray tan.' Others chimed in: 'I didn't even know what a spray tan was at seven.', arguing 'She should be tanning by playing out in the sun' and that "It shouldn't even be a subject at that age.' But Noel wasn't having any of it. She clapped back, posting a follow-up video declaring: 'She's just a girlllll!!!' and reminding critics that her daughter's confidence matters more than their opinions. Her TikTok bio reads 'Mind your business' – a pretty clear message to anyone judging her parenting. She even shared a behind-the-scenes clip of her daughter giggling as she got her tan sprayed on. I used tanning nasal sprays twice but they've left me with permanent skin damage, they made me feel dizzy & nauseous too - says former Miss GB Still, the backlash kept coming, with more parents commenting things like 'Please stop' and 'Why are we normalising this?' But some were quick to defend her, pointing out that a spray tan is a safer alternative to sunbathing, which exposes skin to dangerous UV rays. One supporter wrote: 'Spray tan better than getting a sun tan and skin cancer – I say go for it!' Experts warn that there's no such thing as a 'safe' tan from the sun and any darkening of the skin is actually a sign of cell damage, which can even lead to skin cancer. So a spray tan seems like a safer option. But the row taps into a wider debate on whether kids are growing up too fast. According to a study by the Department for Education, 88% of parents believe children are being pressured to mature too early – pointing fingers at celebrity culture, adult-style clothing, and social media. This mum isn't the first to come under fire for letting her child embrace beauty trends. One mum admitted she lets her six and seven-year-olds wear make-up and false nails, calling it 'harmless fun'. And in the US, 10-year-old Naiya White, who started wearing make-up at age three, now calls herself a 'Sephora kid', with a nine-step skincare routine, 200+ beauty products, and over £1.5k spent on cosmetics. Her mum, a former Ulta make-up artist, insists it's all about encouraging self-expression and looking after your skin. As for this spray-tan-loving mum, she's made it clear, she's raising her daughter her way, and the haters can kindly scroll on.

Why the 'Tanning Mitt Painting' trend isn't as good as it seems Painting door frames and banisters with a tanning mitt is a DIY trend everyone is obsessing over on social media. But Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor, and DIY-enthusiast reveals why you should put down the tanning mitt, and revert back to the old-fashioned paintbrushes and rollers for your next painting project. "A tanning mitt might be a cost-effective solution to painting your home, but it can't compete with a traditional paintbrush or roller. Tanning mitts offer a smooth, even application, but it doesn't compare to the professional and precise finish of a brush or roller. When it comes to painting detailed areas, like edges and corners, a paintbrush is the best tool for a job. Equally, if you are applying a new paint colour, you might need several coats of paint, and a tanning mitt can only provide very thin coats of paint - meaning you'd be spending more hours on the job! Painting brushes and rollers are also much easier to clean and are longer lasting. Tanning mitts usually need throwing out after one use which is neither good for the planet nor your wallet."
