Do you Take That woman?
Wedding band ... Take That pals Jason, Howard and Gary join Mark as he waves to well-wishers
TAKE That hunk Mark Owen needed a little Patience yesterday as he tied the knot in a fairytale Highland wedding.
Dapper Mark, 37, waited 25 minutes before stunning bride Emma Ferguson, 33, arrived traditionally late for the candlelit ceremony.
More than 500 fans queued for hours for a glimpse of the singer and Emma, who dazzled in a white sequined fitted gown and an antique-style veil.
Gorgeous ... bride Emma, as dusk fell
One wellwisher, at tiny Cawdor Church, Inverness-shire, said: "She kept Mark waiting for quite a while but it was worth it. She looked beautiful."
Radiant Emma arrived at the altar at 4.55pm - long after Mark turned up with bandmates Jason Orange, 39, Howard Donald, 41, Gary Barlow, 38.
Clad in stylish top hat and tails, Mark had delighted fans by waving as he walked through the grounds.
Sarah Stewart, 22, of Inverness, said: "We wanted to get here to find a prime spot to see the boys."
There was no sign of Robbie Williams, but one onlooker said: "Some fans claimed they saw him going in the back."
Mark and Emma tied the knot in front of friends and family, including kids Elwood, three - who wore a kilt - and one-year-old Willow Rose.
The couple emerged just before 6pm and walked through a guard of honour which obscured them from snappers.
It sparked boos from some fans, disappointed they wouldn't pose for pictures.
The happy couple later headed for a plush reception at Cawdor Castle.
Wedding singer's made it a double
MARK Owen became only the second Take That star to tie the knot when he wed Emma Ferguson yesterday.
Songwriter Gary Barlow, 38, was first to take the plunge when he and missus Dawn got hitched nine years ago.
The couple - who met when she worked as a dancer with the band - celebrated the birth of their third child earlier this year.
Little 10-month-old Daisy is the younger sister of Daniel, eight, and Emily, six.
A source told The Sun at the time: "Gary and Dawn are delighted and everyone is really happy for them. They're such a lovely couple."
Howard Donald, 41, is dating Marie-Christine Musswessels.
The loved-up couple have a three-year-old daughter called Lola, who lives in Germany with her mum while he tours the world with Take That.
Howard also has a nine-year-old girl, Grace, from a former relationship with Victoria Piddington.
Jason Orange, 39, is the only member of the Take That line-up who has yet settle down with kids.
There is apparently no hint of romance on the horizon, although his exes include singer Karen Bishko.
Ex-bandmate Robbie Williams recently announced he'd found love with Ayda Field.
The 33-year-old had secretly been dating LA-based actress Ayda, 38, since last year - and now it is serious.
They met in Hollywood while she was working on the Matthew Perry TV series Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.
A source close to the couple said: "Ayda's calming influence and steady outlook on life seem to be producing the balance Robbie's been so desperate to find."

Never fog-et
BLEARY-eyed Take That stars prayed for the sun to Shine yesterday - as their Scots flight was blocked by fog.
Groggy Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald were trying to get home after partying the night away at bandmate Mark Owen's fairytale Highland wedding.
But thick mist stopped their private jet landing at Inverness Airport - and they were instead forced to make a 40-minute minibus dash to catch their plane from an RAF BASE.
Groggy ... tired wedding guest Gary boards a minibus bound for RAF Lossiemouth
Last night, one source said: "They must have only had a few hours' kip. The last thing they needed was their flight getting delayed."
The night before, the boys - whose hits also include Never Forget - had been celebrating with Mark, 37, and bride Emma Ferguson, 33, at a knees-up at luxury Cawdor Castle, Inverness-shire.
Staff had been ordered to serve drinks until 4am. But by 11am weary-looking Gary, 38, Jason, 39, and Howard, 41, arrived at the airport to get their plane back to London.
They were whisked away from fog-bound Inverness just half an hour later and they hastily made arrangements to fly from RAF Lossiemouth.
Hold-up ... Howard leaves Inverness
But not before fan Lynn Chisholm got the greatest thrill of her life by getting her photograph taken with her hero Gary.
Childminder Lynn had waited at the airport with a sign saying 'Please Gary I've waited 15 years to have my photograph taken with you'.
Excited Lynn, 29, from Inverness, said: "It was amazing. He could not be nicer and he gave me a great big cuddle. It has made my year."
It was also confirmed ex-bandmate Robbie Williams did NOT attend the wedding at Cawdor Church, despite rumours he was smuggled in.
A source at the castle said: "Maybe he didn't want to take the limelight from Mark."
Weary ... bandmate Jason at airport

Take That united as Mark Owen weds sweetheart at Scottish castle.. but no sign of Robbie Williams
TAKE THAT star Mark Owen wed sweetheart Emma Ferguson in a fairytale Highland wedding yesterday.
He was joined by bandmates Gary Barlow, Jason Oranage and Howard Donald when he tied the knot at Cawdor Parish Church, near Nairn.
At last night's reception at Cawdor Castle, guests were hoping the boys would take to the stage.
Around 100 Take That fans gathered from early morning to catch a glimpse of their heroes. They were rewarded when Mark, Gary, Jason and Howard made the 10-minute trip from the castle to the church on foot around 4pm.
Many were hoping that former bandmate Robbie Williams would show up. But there was no sign of their heart-throb at the wedding.
The fans were rewarded when the boys - wearing black tuxedos, white shirts and red roses in their buttonholes - stopped to chat to them.
Emma kept her groom waiting for 25 minutes, arriving at 4.55pm.
She looked stunning in a white, fitted v-neck gown and an antique lace veil. Her two bridesmaids also wore white.
Confetti The bride paused to smile and wave to the cheering crowd before entering the candlelit church as darkness fell.
Only 50 guests, including the couple's children, Elwood, three, and one-yearoldWillow Rose, saw the ceremony. The newlyweds emerged from the church into a shower of confetti.
The wedding party made an archway, whichMark and Emma walked through.
A vintage Volkswagen camper van took the couple to their honeymoon suite in the castle after the ceremony.
The green and white van had been decked out with rose petals on the floor and a huge loveheart made of twigs.
Two champagne glasses were cooling in the sink and a friend of Mark had stuck "Just Married" stickers on the side. A fleet of Range Rovers with blacked-out windows took the guests to the castle for a lavish reception, which ended with a firework display.
After the celebrations ended, guests spent the night at the estate's Drynachan Lodge, or at five nearby cottages. Two giant tepees had also been erected behind the lodge.
Mark, 37,who won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, has been engaged to Emma, 33, since 2006.
He was joined by bandmates Gary Barlow, Jason Oranage and Howard Donald when he tied the knot at Cawdor Parish Church, near Nairn.

Take That's Mark Owen parties with bandmates on last day as single man
TAKE THAT'S Mark Owen yesterday spent his last day as a single man partying with his bandmates.
Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald joined Mark, 37, for celebratory drinks and games at historic Cawdor Castle, near Nairn, after spending the night in teepees on the adjoining Drynachnan Estate.
He will tie the knot with actress Emma Ferguson at Cawdor Parish Church today.
The estate - famous for hunting, shooting and fishing - was sealed off yesterday to allow the lads to party away from prying eyes.
A fleet of people carriers headed in and out throughout the day carrying flowers and drinks into the party.
Mark was keen to keep things low-key and, apart from a pile of crowd control barriers at the church, there was little sign that it was about to host a big celebrity wedding.
Former bandmate Robbie Williams is expected to attend and many fans plan to turn up at the church to catch a glimpse of the band.

Locals spoke excitedly about today's wedding though some said they were surprised that it was being held on Remembrance Sunday.
Mark and Emma have two children - Elwood Jack, three, and one-year-old Willow Rose.

Greatest day for Take That singer
Take That have been reunited for the Highland wedding of singer Mark Owen.
Owen, 37, from Oldham, is marrying his fiancee Emma Ferguson at Cawdor Parish Church, near Inverness, followed by a reception at Cawdor Castle.
The groom arrived with fellow band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange and waved at fans who had waited up to six hours to see them.
Former band member Robbie Williams arrived in Scotland on a private jet late on Friday night.
The band, rumoured to be reuniting as a group, were expected to sing at the wedding, with Owen posting on the website: "No doubt once the boys have had a few drinks we will get into song."
"I think it will be a great asset to the village and will put Cawdor on the map"
The bride arrived 25 minutes late for the wedding, wearing a white V-neck fitted gown, embellished with crystals, and an antique-style veil.
Surrounded by photographers, she was assisted into the church by her bridesmaids.
She smiled and waved as the crowd outside the church cheered and applauded.
The wedding service began as darkness fell on the Highland town. It is understood the bride had requested a service by candlelight.
Celebrations were due to be held in two huge teepees constructed for the massive event.
Cawdor Castle, between Inverness and Nairn, has been the ancestral seat of the Thanes of Cawdor since the late 14th Century and was popularised in Shakespeare's tragedy MacBeth.
Fans and the press gathered outside the church
The estate houses Drynachan Lodge, which sleeps up to 22 people and is surrounded by five cottages where guests will also be staying.
The giant teepees, which can hold up to 60 people, have been erected on the grass behind the lodge overlooking the river Findhorn.
Industrial heaters to keep the guests warms were set up at the site.
Owen and Emma, who is an actress, arrived on Thursday, and had a dress rehearsal in the evening.
The marriage is the biggest celebrity wedding to hit the Highlands since Madonna wed Guy Ritchie at Skibo Castle in 2000.
Only 50 guests, including the couple's two children, Elwood, three, and Willow Rose, one, were due to witness the low-key ceremony.
'Under orders'
After the service, the guests were due to be transported to Cawdor Castle for a private, lavish reception with high-security employed to stop gate-crashing.
Before the service, Arlene Lapham, manageress at the Cawdor Tavern, just yards for the church, said: "I think it will be a great asset to the village and will put Cawdor on the map. It is hard to say what we all expect because Cawdor is a quiet village and you don't see many people."
Cawdor Parish Church
However, Cawdor pensioner Alasdair MacLeod said he was concerned about where fans and the media would park in the village.
"The biggest difficulty is parking and of course all of the fanatics could be quite a problem," he said.
One local, who did not wish to be named, said: "The whole of Cawdor is abuzz with expectation.
"Staff at the castle are under orders not to say anything about it, but we have heard they are gutting out part of the castle to prepare something special for the reception."
Owen, who won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, has been engaged to Emma since 2006.
The couple, who have turned down magazine offers to cover the ceremony, have visited the Highlands in the past and have told friends the venue is their dream location.

Take That fly in for Mark’s Greatest Day
MARK Owen's Take That pals flew into Scotland frifay ahead of his fairytale wedding today.
Heart-throbs Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald landed at Inverness airport as celebrations for the singer's big day got under way.
They touched down in a luxury private 17-seater Lear jet but went to great lengths to keep their arrival secret.
The aircraft was turned around on the Tarmac to keep them away from the glare of adoring fans.
The group - whose many hits include Greatest Day - were then whisked away in a people-carrier to their luxury accommodation six miles away at Cawdor Castle, near Nairn, to kick off the wedding celebrations.
A source said: "They tried their best to keep their visit low-key.
"Mark wants to keep this wedding very private and away from public eyes.
"However, it is the worst-kept secret in the world."
It was rumoured former bandmate Robbie Williams would be on the same flight.
But it's believed he is still expected to turn up to watch Mark, 37, marry his sweetheart Emma Ferguson, 33.
They will tie the knot at the tiny Cawdor Church of Scotland - in front of their two children Elwood, three, and nine-month-old Willow Rose.
Around 60 guests are expected, including family and stars including Coldplay's Chris Martin and his actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
The bash kicks off today with the male guests expected to take part in clay pigeon shooting and off-roading. The female guests and the bride-to-be are believed to be having a pampering day.
A pre-marriage booze-up has also been organised in two teepees, erected in the grounds overlooking the River Findhorn at Drynachan.
It was also revealed the couple will walk half a mile from the church to their wedding reception in the castle.
A huge knees-up has been organised in the castle, where they have converted the gift shop into a disco. An old kitchen has also been transformed into a bar.
Mark, who won the second series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2002, has been engaged to Emma since 2006.
The couple, who have turned down magazine offers to cover the ceremony, have told friends the venue is their dream location.
The castle sits on 49,400-acre Cawdor Estate, which covers half the county of Nairnshire.
There will be plenty of accommodation for the wedding party, with the estate's Drynachan Lodge sleeping up to 22 people, and a further five cottages available.
The location, which has hosted visits by David and Victoria Beckham and Elton John, is favoured by the stars for its privacy.
