Royal weddings — we’ve missed you!

It’s been 128 days since the last one, and the closest thing we’ve come since is Hailey Baldwin getting hitched to Justin Bieber — who serenaded his new wife on the stairs of Buckingham Palace last week.

But sorry to burst the bubble, Justin — there has been another.

Lord Ivar Mountbatten, cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, married James Coyle on Saturday.

It’s the first ever same-sex marriage in the extended royal family — and I think it’s safe to say we’re way more excited about it than Mountbatten’s dog, Rosie.

The wedding took place in a private chapel at his family home in Bridwell Park, Devon, according to Pink News. There were just 60 guests, including Ivar's three daughters — all of whom were urged to donate to Regain, a charity set up to support tetraplegics to live full, normal lives.
