Zak Starkey tied the knot in front of rock and roll legends.
The son of Ringo Starr married his longtime partner, Sharna “Sshh” Liguz, in an intimate ceremony Monday at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, with the Beatle and Eddie Vedder among those in attendance.
Starkey, 56, and 37-year-old Liguz, who have been dating for nearly two decades, decided to wed on the date of their 1-year-old daughter Luna’s birthday.
“After 18 years together, Luna’s umbilical cord kinda tied the knot, but we wanted to make it official and share with our friends and family in the US before doing the same in Jamaica and the UK,” the newlyweds said in a statement to People Thursday.
Starr, 81, gave his son away, while Pearl Jam singer Vedder, 57, and The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr served as Starkey’s best men. British reggae singer Pato Banton officiated the ceremony.
Starkey also shared the news in a post to his Instagram account.
“Great to be solid with the greatest girl in the world. And to celebrate Luna’s no1 birthday. Thanks to everyone who came from near far wide abstract and online,” he wrote. “Our dearest friends in da USA- great to see u at our wedding and experience true party stamina.”
He added, “Feels great to be wed to the woman I have loved for 18 years. XxXxXxX.”
Australian singer Liguz also took to social media to celebrate their nuptials, captioning her Instagram post, “A double celebration of love life & all the blessings bestowed pon us. So grateful for our family. Locked & loaded & ready to roll with love @therealzakstarkey.”
The bride wore an Alexander McQueen gown and topped her wedding veil with a crown. Starkey, on the other hand, donned a bright yellow suit with a red shirt and no tie.
