Despite the scary incident, it seemed the wedding was still a magical day for the newlyweds after a delay due to the intrusion.
Famous faces such as Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Donatella Versace were in attendance at the couples' dream nuptials – and by the looks of Instagram, everyone had a blast!

Sam has remained a key support system in Britney’s life.
