    Brendan Hunt has got married

    The 53-year-old actor and his partner Shannon Nelson - with whom he has Sean, four, and Archibald, 20 months - tied the knot "a couple weeks ago" in Ireland in a ceremony officiated by his Ted Lasso co-star Jason Sudeikis


    Brendan shared some of the official photos from the big day on Instagram and wrote: "Oh wait! I totally forgot to mention- me and @snoopshann got married in Ireland a couple weeks ago. NBD. It was done with way less lead time than you're supposed to give, and way fewer guests than we would have liked to have under normal circumstances.

    "And we're pretty sure the dude who married us was only pretending to be a priest. But we just about pulled it off.

    "The bride was stunning, while the groom cleaned up reasonably well. It was all quite lovely, and best of all our little boys got to see it.

    "Shout out to all the young-at-heart lovers out there. In the words of my aunt Ellen, "It's so much better to have a teammate." (sic)"

    Among the photos were a picture of the invitation to the wedding, which read: "Sean Theodore and Archibald Felix request the honor of your presence at the wedding celebration of their parents Shannon Nicole Nelson and Brendan Edward Hunt."

    The Drop Dead Gorgeous actress revealed the boys had another role to play in the nuptials because they walked her down the aisle.

    She wrote on her own Instagram account: "A wedding. A perfectly Irish day set the stage for what was the best day of my life. Look at my husband! Look at him [heart eye emoji]

    "Our children walked me down the aisle and watched as their Dad and I said our vows and tied our family together in the most quiet, musical, silly and lovely way and then we danced until my shoe leather wore off. Here are a few pics and please pardon what will likely be a fair amount of future posts as they keep coming in from the weekend.(sic)"

    The invitation requested guests wore cocktail attire, with "bright colors and bold patterns encouraged", and Brendan - who is best known for playing Coach Beard in Ted Lasso - donning a green velvet tuxedo, while Shannon had a cream wedding gown embroidered with pale pink and green flowers.

    The pictures also showed their three-tier wedding cake, which was topped with figurines of Sally and Pig-Pen from Peanuts.
