You may kiss the bride: Holly Branson and her new husband Fred Andrews share their first kiss as a married couple after they married on Necker Island

They might have been surrounded by fire-ravaged ruins on their Caribbean island wedding.
But Holly Branson and her new husband Fred Andrews only had eyes for each other as they shared their first kiss as a married couple.
The newlyweds locked lips in front of their proud and happy friends and family moments after tying the knot on her father Sir Richard Branson's idyllic Necker Island.

Holly looked absolutely beautiful in her elegant white gown as she tenderly kissed her ship broker husband, who couldn't stop smiling as he held his stunning new bride.
From the front row, Holly's parents Sir Richard and Lady Joan, and her brother Sam, led the rest of the guests in a round of applause as they beamed with pride.
And it all became too much for Sir Richard and 26-year-old Sam, who, according to Holly, cried buckets as she tied the knot.

Holly and Fred married on the island that back in August was ravaged by a huge fire that destroyed the Great House on the Virgin Island.
She wasn't going to let that stop her holding her big day there and said getting married on the remains added a special aspect to the ceremony.

'It's definitely our special place and it looked absolutely beautiful, even thought it was still very rustic - there are still piles of rubble - it was dramatic. And it's stunning because you're at the top of a hill so there are incredible panoramic views.'
But despite going ahead with the wedding on the ruins of the fire, the bridal party and the guests then had to contend with a tropical storm which lashed the palm-fringed retreat.

Holly and Fred, who met at school in Oxford, shared 35 pictures of their beautiful wedding with the publication.
The event was well-attended, including two royal guests- Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie.
While it is not surprising the two were invited to the nuptials as they are close with Holly, they did make the unusual move of declining the annual invite to the Queen's pre-Christmas lunch.
Given that the Queen only summons the entire Royal Family to the palace twice a year, it clearly was a serious request for the girls to ask their grandmother's permission to skip the event.
