Jade Goody, the star Britons used to love to hate and now can't praise enough, has tied the knot with fiance Jack Tweed, according to her spokesman, Max Clifford.
Goody, 27, and Tweed, 21, received a standing ovation from 200 guests once they were married at the Down Hall Country House Hotel in eastern England, he told reporters.
"It was just a very beautiful, very moving service," Clifford added.
The ceremony has received overwhelmingly positive coverage in the British media and marks a turnaround for Goody, a brash and buxom star who went from being the vulgar, in-your-face posterchild for British boorishness to an exemplar of bravery following her cancer diagnosis.
While there were the usual trimmings of a celebrity wedding _ a helicopter, a fancy hotel, a television crew, a reported million pound (dollar) deal to secure photo and video rights to the ceremony _ the circumstances were far from typical.
The bride, 27, is bald from chemotherapy and carried a pouch for painkillers concealed in her designer dress; the groom is on probation after assaulting a teenage boy with a golf club.
Although Tweed is under curfew, he was given special dispensation by Britain's Justice Ministry allowing him to spend Sunday evening with his bride.
