Britney Spears is stronger than yesterday.

Per People magazine, an insider revealed that the 40-year-old pop star walked herself down the aisle to Elvis Presley's 1961 hit 'Can't Help Falling in Love.'

Spears announced her engagement with her 28-year-old fiancé Asghari back in September 2021 and officially tied the knot with him on Thursday (June 9).

After five years of dating, the pair wed in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles, with Spears wearing a stunning wedding dress custom-made by Donatella Versace.

A source said Spears was all smiles as she walked down the aisle and was emotional during the ceremony. The source added that her tears were "all happy tears".

Apparently, the 'Baby One More Time' singer had three outfit changes but kept the same hair and makeup look throughout the evening.

It was also revealed that during the intimate reception, Spears "danced for hours" with star-studded guests like the legendary Madonna.

Other major celebrities reported having attended the couple's wedding were Donatella Versace, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, and Kathy Hilton.

A second insider told People that the after-party ended at 11:30 PM and the newlyweds were driven away in a white Rolls Royce with a classic "Just Married" sign on the back.

Spears and her model beau were first romantically linked after they met on set of her 'Slumber Party' music video in 2016.

Brandon Cohen, who is Asghari's manager, spoke with the magazine after the ceremony, saying: "I am very ecstatic this day has come, and they are married. I know he wanted this for so long."

"He is so caring and supportive every step of the way. I am so grateful to have Sam in my life and can't wait for the future they will build together," Cohen added.

Last November, the 'Stronger' musician was freed from the 13-year conservatorship she was placed under, where her father Jamie Spears was in control of major aspects of her life.

Because of her conservatorship, Spears was prevented from making career decisions, getting married, or having a baby.

Amid her lengthy legal battle with her dad, Spears stated multiple times that she does not have a solid relationship with him - which probably explains why her parents were not in attendance at her wedding.

However, according to sources, Spears still had the "fairytale wedding" she had always wanted and is very excited to embark on her new journey with Asghari.
