Musician James Righton has spoken out for the first time about his wedding to the British actress

Keira Knightley's new husband James Righton has spoken out for the first time about his wedding to the British actress calling the day 'beautiful'.

The musician, who is the frontman and keyboard player for UK band The Klaxons, said in an interview with the NME that there 'was a lot of love' at the couple's nuptials in the south of France earlier this month.

He revealed: 'I just fell in love with someone who happens to be amazing. We had a beautiful wedding and there was a lot of love.'

How sweet! James went on to say that he doesn't believe that his relationship with the Anna Karenina star will have an impact on the public's perception of the band, who are set to release their third studio album later this year.

He added: 'The music is the music. That thing [media interest] is going to be there because of who she is but I'd say we're a pretty established band.'

James' bandmate Jamie Reynolds, meanwhile, also spoke about the wedding, saying: 'It was the greatest day ever, it was fantastic. We're still high from it. It was about two weeks ago, it was a big party.'

The couple, who dated for a year before getting engaged in 2012, married in front of a clutch of family members and close friends at a town hall in the south of France on 4th May, before heading to Keira's holiday estate for a big party.
