London, Sep 3 (IANS): Singer Ellie Goulding broke her silence on her secret wedding with a heart-felt tribute to the 'love of her life' art dealer Caspar Jopling.

Goulding exchanged vows with Jopling at York Minster Cathedral on Saturday. The couple managed to keep the wedding a secret till the last minute.
