OMG THAT DRESS.

Back in January, we reported that Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal had gotten engaged to his girlfriend of 14 years, Mery Perelló.

The couple started dating back in 2005, and have since been very private about their relationship – fair enough.

Over the weekend, the ‘King of Clay’ and his beautiful girlfriend Mery, also known as Xisca, officially tied the knot.

The pair married inside Spain’s most expensive property, the Majorcan fortress La Fortaleza.

As you can imagine, it was a very lavish affair, with a host of famous guests in attendance.

Even Juan Carlos I, the King of Spain was there, which we are very impressed by.

However, the most impressive element of the whole day was probably the bride, and her incredible wedding dress.

The bride wore a stunning long-sleeved gown designed by internationally acclaimed bridal wear designer Rosa Clará.

And she looked like a full on PRINCESS.

In a world exclusive with HELLO! in January, Rafa revealed he popped the question in May 2018, during a romantic trip to Rome, but the couple kept it to themselves for an eighth month period.

How sweet is that?

The tennis star also opened up about starting a family with his partner of  over a decade, saying:

“Obviously, I have the intention of forming a family. I love children and I would like my children to do what they like.”

Massive congrats to the happy couple.
