Britpop singer Louise Wener, best known as the lead singer of the band Sleeper, has married her bandmate Andy Maclure. The couple exchanged vows after a 30-year relationship, with their wedding ceremony taking place in Brighton. News of their nuptials was shared via the official Sleeper Instagram account on Tuesday.
Joyful images from the event depicted Wener in a striking animal print dress paired with cream ankle boots. Maclure wore a smart suit with trainers. The accompanying caption humorously commented on their long courtship: '30 years. You don't want to rush into these things.'
Sleeper, originally active from 1992 to 1998, reformed in 2017. Wener and Maclure's union comes after a period where their band has been active again, releasing new music and touring.
