Wishing the couple an online congratulations, Zoella tweeted: "Congratulations to my friends@tanyaburr & @jimalfredchapman on their beautiful wedding. Thank you so much for having me I had the best time and I love you both so much! This is me & @niomismart before the wedding, we unintentionally matched x#JimandTanyaGetMarried."
In a new YouTube vlog titled: "We Did It", posted on 6 September, Chapman reveals details of their wedding for the first time, telling his 2.3m subscribers: "It was honestly the most magical day ever. But now I am a husband and I just want to be a husband for a while. We're going on a honeymoon next week and I want to just hang out with my wife and not film anything so I'm going to have a little while off the channel."
Joking about his new wife's interesting choice of films, Chapman then quipped: "The reason I'm filming this right now is because she's downstairs watching High School Musical 3 and I thought I'll either divorce her or film this video." Explaining how he feels in his new life as a husband, the vlogger revealed: "Honestly, I feel absolutely incredible. I didn't think anything would change, I thought 'Okay, I've got a ring now, everything carries on as usual'. But actually I did feel really special."
The couple met and began dating in 2007 before their online fame and Chapman proposed to the vlogger and aspiring actress in 2012 during a trip to New York. He shared the moment just before and after he popped the question in a YouTube video.
