Congratulations, Elton John and David Furnish!

The longtime partners married at their Windsor home in England on Sunday, Dec. 21 — and the newlyweds shared many of their wedding details on social media!

Early that morning, Elton, 67, took to his Instagram page to share a photo of him and David, 52 — his partner of 21 years — signing their marriage license prior to their intimate afternoon ceremony.

"That's the legal bit done. Now on to the ceremony! #ShareTheLove," the caption read.

The couple then shared a sweet snapshot of them exchanging vows in front of guests including Elizabeth Hurley, David and Victoria Beckham, and Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, just to name a few.

Elton and David also made sure to include their sons, Zachary Furnish-John, 4, and Elijah Furnish-John, 23 months — who were born via the same surrogate mother — in the ceremony.

"It's important to David and Elton the boys play a special part," the friend of the couple told the 'Daily Mirror' prior to the nuptials.

The pair began dating in 1993 and were among Britain's first same-sex couples to tie the knot when civil partnerships became legal in 2005.

The Dec. 21 wedding — in which the couple converted their partnership into a legal marriage — took place on the nine-year anniversary of their civil ceremony.
