My wedding was magical, says Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake says his and Jessica Biel's wedding was "magical".

The singer-and-actor tied the knot with the Total Recall actress in a romantic ceremony in Italy on Friday and he admits it's a day he will never forget.

He said, "It was magical. It was an unforgettable evening."

The couple - who had been dating for around five years - were officially married at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, following days of celebrations and Jessica says it couldn't have gone any better. She told People magazine, "It was a fantasy."

On Thursday, the bride and groom - who briefly split last year - hosted a party for guests, were they dined on fresh-made cheese, local olives and wine, while sitting around open fires.

The night before, the group celebrated at a beach where they watched fireworks and listened to live music.

Following the nuptials, Justin and Jessica released a statement confirming their marriage and saying what a great time they had.

They said, "It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends."
