Simon Mignolet used the close season break to get married to partner Jasmine Claes at a wedding ceremony in Sint-Truiden, Belgium.
The Liverpool goalkeeper returned to his hometown to tie the knot in front of friends, family and what appeared to be an entire team of page boys dressed in yellow and blue football strips.
However, the kits were not a Liverpool away strip, but the colours of the the 27-year-old's first club St-Truiden - where he spent four seasons, winning the Belgium Second Division title, before leaving for Sunderland.

Meanwhile, the Reds No1 has backed his international team-mate Divock Origi - who arrives at Anfield this season after a final loan spell with Lille - to be a success at Liverpool.
'He's only young but on the other side he's also quite experienced, having played in Ligue 1 in France and with the Belgian national team,' he told the official Liverpool FC magazine.
'He's got a lot of ability, he is quick and can score a goal and he is willing to work for the team and put pressure on defences.
'He's got a great attitude, so what more do you want? I am looking forward to when he is going to join.'
