The TV presenter shared a beaming photo of the couple from their special day, which saw them walking down the aisle hand-in-hand as husband and wife.
While Osman looked dapper in a navy suit, Oliver looked stunning in an elegant white gown with a tulle veil, pearl accessories and a bouquet of white flowers in one hand.
Announcing the news on social media, the 52-year-old wrote: “The most magical, joyful day on Saturday with my beautiful wife @ingridoliver100.
“Surrounded by wonderful friends and family, a day full of love and laughter. We’re so, so happy.”
Oliver, who has starred in Doctor Who, shared the same photo on Instagram and simply captioned it with two heart emojis.

The newlyweds were inundated with well wishes from friends and fans, with Victoria Derbyshire commenting: “A. MAZE. ING. So many congratulations to you both! How wonderful.”
“Huge congratulations! You both look soooo happy!” another penned.
A third wrote: “Oh congratulations to you both! Such good news.”
The couple first met when Oliver appeared on his show, House of Games. They were friends for a while, before romance reportedly blossomed in lockdown.
Osman previously told HELLO! magazine: “Ingrid came on House of Games. I knew who she was through social media. We’d never met – I had never met her. I had a little twinkle in my eye, I’ll admit that.
“She came on, we filmed that day together. Our first date is completely on camera. After filming, I was thinking, ‘How can I ask her for a drink, this is difficult.’”
After two years of dating, Osman confirmed their engagement in May during an interview with fellow author Marian Keyes for The Observer.
In response to Keyes’ question asking if it was true he was “getting married”, he said: “Yes. Exciting, isn’t it?”
The TV star divorced from his first wife in 2007 and shares two children, daughter Ruby and son Sonny, with her.
