Coronation Street actor Charlie Lawson has married his partner of 22 years Debbie Stanley.Charlie, who played Jim McDonald on the ITV soap, and Debbie got hitched in a secret ceremony before they had a bit celebration with their loved ones.And their wedding was certainly unique as former This Morning presenter and Charlie's close friend, Eamonn Holmes was the officiator, writes The Mirror.And on his big day, Corrie co-stars turned out in force to watch their pal tie the knot, and his on-screen son, Steve McDonald (played by Simon Gregson) was his best man and Alison King - who plays Carla Connor - was also a bridesmaid.Vicky Entwistle (Janice Battersby), Claire King (Erica Holroyd), and Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) also attended the ceremony held at Shrigley Hall Hotel & Spa in Cheshire.

Speaking about tying the knot, Charlie told OK! Magazine : "We actually legally got married at Macclesfield Registration Office two weeks before the proper wedding, with just three witnesses, so Eamonn could do the service." And opening up on the moment he saw Debbie walking down the aisle, he said: "When you've been in love with someone for so long – 22 years – there's still that excitement of waiting to see her, and Debbie looked extraordinary and very beautiful.

It was a wonderful moment when she walked down the aisle. I shed a tear." Despite torrential rain on the day, Charlie arrived at the stunning venue in a helicopter alongside his best man but joked he was "fed up" with waiting to see his bride-to-be.

Charlie really wanted his pal of three decades Eamonn to officiate his ceremony due to their tight bond and stated that they are "very similar human beings".
