Graziano Di Prima, Jowita Pryzstal and Nadia Bychkova also commented, sharing their love for the couple.
Rhys had posted two selfies with his new bride as well as a mirror picture showing off her stunning wedding dress.
He later posted a sweet moment a friend had managed to capture, of the newly weds sharing their secret handshake.
‘When your friend secretly catches you doing your pre wedding handshake with your new wife,’ he wrote.

The couple had announced their engagement in November last year, with Rhys sharing a picture of himself beaming along with TV design worker Beth brandishing her new sparkler, and writing: ‘She said yes! #caymanislands #engagement.’
It’s unclear how long the couple had been dating for, though Beth did get a cheeky shout-out during his time on Strictly.
After Rhys and Nancy performed their steamy Argentine Tango to Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight, host Claudia Winkleman asked the broadcaster: ‘What did your girlfriend Beth say when you told her you were doing the Argentine Tango?’
Rhys replied: ‘Beth said “If i’m not jealous, you’re not doing it right.” So, Beth I hope you’re both proud and jealous!’
