Sir ’s son Zak Starkey has married his long-term partner Sharna Liguz.
The newlyweds, who have been together for almost two decades, walked down the aisle in a small ceremony attended by family and close friends at the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood on Monday.
Beatles legend Sir Ringo, 81, is said to have given away 56-year-old Zak, also a drummer, while Sharna’s father did the same for her.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr were the best men, with the latter appearing via Zoom.
The pair chose March 21 for the nuptials because it fell on the first birthday of their daughter Luna Lee Lightnin.
The loved-up couple told US publication : ‘After 18 years together, Luna’s umbilical cord kinda tied the knot but we wanted to make it official and share with our friends and family in the US, before doing the same in Jamaica and the UK.’
Sharna, 37, stunned guests in a gorgeous Alexander McQueen gown, while Zak wore a summery yellow suit with a contrasting bold red shirt.
On Instagram, Zak thanked their guests for sharing their special day and experiencing ‘true party stamina’.
He captioned a picture of an invitation: ‘Great to be solid with the greatest girl in the world. And to celebrate Luna’s No. 1 birthday. Thanks to everyone who came from near, far, wide, abstract and online.
‘Our dearest friends in da USA- great to see u at our wedding and experience true party stamina. Feels great to be wed to the woman I have loved for 18 years. (sic)”
Sharna, who is an Australian artist and part of the musical duo Sshh with her new husband, wrote on her own page: ‘This super small affair happened with our nearest dearest on the day our darling daughter was born.
‘A double celebration of love life all the blessings bestowed upon us. So grateful for our family. Locked and loaded ready to roll with love.’
Zak, the son of Maureen Starkey, Sir Ringo’s first wife, has performed and recorded with The Who since 1996 and was a member of Oasis between 2004 and 2008.
Sir Ringo, who attended the wedding with his wife Barbara Bach, also has son Jason, 54, and daughter Lee, 51, with Maureen.
