An Arsenal legend was a surprise guest at Aaron Ramsdale's wedding celebrations in Italy - two years after he married wife Georgina.
Ramsdale married Georgina Irwin, who was pregnant at the time, at a London registry office in June 2023, with the former England star taking to Instagram to reveal he'd tied the knot with the British Airways stewardess.
It was an intimate ceremony at the time, and celebrations have only taken place properly this summer after Ramsdale spent last year's warmer months at the European Championship with England.
For their wedding, Georgina opted for a stunning white frilled mini dress and strapped heels, while Aaron opted for a smart grey suit. As they celebrated, Georgina wore a vail and a more patterned dress, with Ramsdale donning a black suit.
In the celebration photos, meanwhile, an Arsenal icon was spotted taking in the events. Ramsdale played for the club between 2021 and 2024, before leaving for Southampton.
That legend was another former goalkeeper in David Seaman, 61. He shared a plethora of photos from the day on his social media, insisting: 'You guys really know how to throw a party!'

The first photo showed Ramsdale seemingly being taken by surprise, with Seaman, who was Arsenal's goalkeeper between 1990 and 2003, putting his hands on his fellow shot stopper's shoulders as Ramsdale, holding a drink, turned around.
Another saw Seaman in the middle of Ramsdale and another former Gunners star in Rob Holding. Ramsdale could be seen wearing a waistcoat and a hat, while Holding used his shirt to hold his sunglasses.
Other snaps showed a food stand, a group of people enjoying a meal and Ramsdale and Georgina cutting their cake. Seaman also posed with wife Frankie Poultney, who he met in 2008 when her dance partner on the Dancing on Ice tour.
Seaman added: 'Proper wedding!'
The duo bonded during Ramsdale's time at Arsenal. Seaman showed off his growing bond with the now-27-year-old in 2021 when he turned up at a training session. It came just after Ramsdale had made a joke about his counterpart's age.
Sharing snaps from their big day on social media two years ago, meanwhile, the sports star captioned his post: 'Mr & Mrs. 20.06.23.'
Images from the couple's wedding included the moment they were declared husband and wife, and a slew of group snaps with their family following the ceremony.
The couple announced that they were expecting their first child together soon before the wedding, with Ramsdale posting footage on Instagram showing a positive test on top of a baby outfit, with the words 'I love you so much Daddy' adorably stitched onto it.

The clip then showed him beaming upon hearing the news before he raced across the room to jump across the bed and embrace Georgina.
Later, a shot of their baby scan was shown, before the couple posed in front of the camera with Georgina showing off her growing bump. In October 2023, the duo welcomed their son, Ronnie, into the world.
On the field, Ramsdale's future is unclear after he was relegated from the Premier League with Southampton last season.
He signed a four-year deal last summer, with the contract set to expire in 2028.
