Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell was presented with a £350,000 DB5 retro-style Aston Martin car by Christian after their nuptials in Bedford yesterday.
The speedster is said to be Geri's favourite four wheeled vehicle, and what more could an international pop star hope for on her wedding day?
Dapper Christian rocked up to his wedding to ginger Geri in the car, taking it for a test spin before handing over the keys to his fair wife.
And it's not just any Aston Martin, it's the same model featured in Bond film Goldfinger circa 1964.

While Christian made an impression upon the congregation arriving at St Mary's Church in the flash car, Geri was welling up with emotion at the end of the aisle.
Sources confirm the singer grabbed the microphone to speak to her guests after saying 'I do' in a white lace dress and veil.
She said: "We are thrilled, it has been an amazing day, filled with so much love, joy and laughter.
"And the sun shone through. It’s been such a day of happiness and one that we will always remember. We feel truly grateful. It has been everything we hoped it would be and more – perfect."

But the speeches didn't quite end there, with Geri rumoured to have belted out a solo rendition of Spice Girls' hit Wannabe.
She's said to have explained this is an in-joke with her new husband, after she discovered Christian had stumbled across the video on the internet while researching her before their first date.
It certainly sounds like it was a wedding brimming with the joys and happiness of Spring, even if the 1990s band reunion didn't quite happen with Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm all missing.
