Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh has married Scots actress Emma Currie. The pair tied the knot two years after they started dating during the coronavirus lockdown in 2020.
Sharing a touching photo on Instagram, the writer said: "Knot tied. All good in the world. See you later, alligators."
In the photograph, Emma can be seen wearing a stunning white dress, a hair piece and a long necklace. Irvine is wearing a grey suit and blue shirt, while sporting a pair of black sunglasses, as they pose for a picture on a bench.
It is not yet known where the couple tied the know, but Irvine's post has racked up thousands of likes on Instagram and many were quick to congratulate the pair.
Gordon Smart said: "Absolutely sensational, gaffer. Congratulations." While Patrick Topping wrote: "Congrats fella." And Mairi Mickel added: "Ya dancers! Emma you look beautiful! Looking forward to helping you both celebrate soon!"
Their engagement was announced on social media earlier this year, with Irvine breaking the news with a happy post.
He wrote: "My god. She said yes. Pissing wet day in Scotland but she said yes. So f**k everything else. Never been so happy in my life."
In September 2020, Irvine told fans on Twitter that he had met his girlfriend during lockdown. The happy couple enjoyed a more “old fashioned courtship” as they got to know each other and took things slowly with distanced walks and talks.
At the time he tweeted: “Have been enjoying a Covid romance that blossomed into a relationship. Was great to be able to take things slowly, with distanced walks and talks, before it got more intimate. More like an old fashioned courtship.”
His first marriage to first wife Anne Antsy ended in divorce in 2003.
