Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced on Sunday that she got married to her long-time partner, eight months after becoming the head of government.

On her official account on Instagram, Marin wrote that she married former Finnish soccer player Markus Raikkonen on Saturday. She posted a photo wearing their wedding outfits with a bunch of white flowers.

She captioned the photo saying, "Of all the people, you are right for me."

On the other hand, Finland's government revealed that the wedding took place at Kesaranta, the prime minister's official residence.

According to the government's website, the ceremony was attended by the couple's close friends and family.

It is worth mentioning that, Marin and Raikkonen have been together for 16 years and have a 2-year-old daughter.

Marin, 34, was the youngest head of state when she was elected in December 2019, although she has since been overtaken by Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who turns 34 later this month.
