The lovebirds – who chose their 12-month-old daughter Luna Lee Lightnin’s birth date to get hitched – were given away by Ringo, 81, and Sharna’s father Andrzej Ligu.

Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and Johnny Marr were Zak’s best men, though the former Smiths rocker couldn’t be there in person and was seen appearing via video call on a tablet.
Reggae star Pato Banton officiated the ceremony, the first of two, with further plans to celebrate in Jamaica and the UK.
In a statement issued to PEOPLE, the couple said: ‘After 18 years together, Luna’s umbilical cord kinda tied the knot but we wanted to make it official and share with our friends and family in the U.S., before doing the same in Jamaica and the UK.’
The bride wowed in an Alexander McQueen gown, while Zak donned a summery yellow suit with a contrasting bold red shirt.
