Laura Trott and Jason Kenny - or Mr and Mrs Kenny as we think they will hereby be known - tied the knot in a secret ceremony yesterday, Twitter photos from family members revealed this morning.

Two photos posted on to the social network by Laura Trott's father Adrian Trott broke the news, appearing to show the pair leaving the church with smiles across their faces alongside a group shot of the.

 

 

Later, Laura Trott took to Instagram to express her happiness, while husband Jason fired a morning-after photo of his wife at Twitter captioned "Good morning Mrs Kenny."

 

 

 

 

In understated fashion befitting Britain's golden cycling pair, fanfare and media coverage didn't accompany the wedding party. The location of the wedding still remains a mystery, while the date and details - like the couple's decision to get engaged which was made on the sofa while they watched EastEnders last Christmas - were kept under wraps.

The couple told guests at their wedding not to buy them presents, but instead to donate to Dementia UK via their Just Giving page. They have already smashed their target of £500 by 300%.

Laura Trott's sister Emma attended the wedding as Maid of Honour, quashing any remaining speculation that she harboured some resentment towards her sister over her cycling success. She tweeted the following photo saying she "couldn't have asked for a better day for my baby sister."

Despite Jason Kenny's cheeky Twitter post, it's still not clear whether we will be cheering on a Mrs Kenny or a Mrs Trott-Kenny in Japan at the 2020 Olympic Games, or even whether Laura Trott will remain Laura Trott. Regardless, we expect the couple to add to their spectacular tally of 10 gold medals in four years time, whatever name they choose to ride under.

How did Fancy Bears not pick up on this?

Surely a number of high profile cyclists were there, who would have had to notify WADA and UKAD of there whereabouts

Re the 'secret/private/public/dontaskdonttell pedantry above, during the Olympics one of the commentators mentioned that the "golden couple are getting married next month", but then on Jonathan Ross a couple of weeks ago they said they hadn't even talked about it yet.  So it was probably something like "if we don't mention it, and don't sell it to OK, we'll be fine".  A wise decision, methinks.

Dogs on the bed?  That can't be good for avoiding breathing issues.   Although having breathing difficulties appears to be quite a useful thing in pro cycling.

I had a few dogs in bed in the past, however to avoid breathing difficulties I didn't keep the pillow over her face for too long .

Great to see yhey had a great day, and it's even better that they didn't sell pictures to the tabloids. Let's hope they enjoy their honeymoon before training and real-life recommences!

They didn't get married 'in secret'. They posted banns, in public, and got married in a venue that has a public marriage licence. Or do you mean they got married without selling the event to OK/Hello etc?

Quite. I think what Elliot meant to say was that they got married in private. That's right, isn't it Elliot? Golly, this pedantry lark really is an absolute giggle, isn't it? 1

You asked for this Oceandweller ......

 

No, they didn't get married in private.  With very few exceptions church ceremonies are open to the public, anyone can just roll up and take a seat.

Oh dear. My pedant qualifications are being questioned. Hmmmm, I take your point. It's true they were married (presumably) in a venue open to the public. However that doesn't mean an ordinary member of the public arriving at the door would necessarily gain admission. That would depend on the venue. In general the owners or their representatives would be within their rights to turn away anyone they felt might cause a disturbance. In the case of the marriage of two nationally known figures that might mean anyone without an invitation. So, IMHO "private" seems the right word.

Golly, this is fun, isn't it? Nearly as good as riding a road bike in an MTB race...

Would love to stay chatting all night but it's Ms O's turn to cook, there are some delightful smells wafting up the stairs & it's almost time for Countryfile, so I'll be busy for a while. 1

I think that was the point: if they married in a c of e church then anyone *can* get admittance. It's the law.

Congratulations to the pair of 'em. Their own little peloton 1
