'V special weekend celebrating my precious niece @lizziejayyy wedding to @ahmadm94 - her mum Anne, my sister, died of cancer aged 33 when Lizzie was only 2. So a very special celebration,' she penned.

The wedding is the second ceremony that the pair had to celebrate their love, after the couple previously celebrated with a more laid-back ceremony.

Miriam also shared snaps of the celebration at the time.

She wrote 'My beloved niece Lizzie just married her beloved Ahmad - a beautiful couple, inside and out. It's hard to express just how happy this occasion was, incredibly emotional and truly glorious.'

The bride didn't go for a traditional white dress and wore a white crepe tailored jacket and dress.

Keeping her accessories simple, she wore an elegant pearl necklace with earrings and a headband to match.

The groom was just as dapper in an off white suit with a black tie and pocket square to match.

While it is unknown whether the couple stayed at home or went abroad for their wedding, it looked like a small, intimate occasion with the closest people in their lives invited.

Miriam has a soft spot for her niece, in the past highlighting how proud she is of her and that she 'loves her to the moon and back.'
