Britney Spears described the nuptials as "magical" following the ceremony in New Orleans on Friday (14.03.14).

Britney Spears has congratulated Jamie Lynn Spears on her wedding day.

The 'Toxic' singer described the nuptials as "magical" when she took to Twitter to express her excitement after her younger sister tied the knot with fiance, Jamie Watson, in New Orleans on Friday (14.03.14).

Britney tweeted: "Yesterday was magical. So happy I could be a part of my little sister's big day. Congrats @jamielynnspears!!(sic)".

The congratulatory message comes after reports there had been "lots of tears" from guests at the " very emotional" ceremony which took place at Audobon Tea Room Garden.

Jamie Lynn was accompanied down the aisle by her father, Jamie while her five-year-old daughter Maddie - whom she had with ex-boyfriend Casey Aldridge - led the proceedings as flower girl.

According to US Weekly, Britney's sons Sean, 8 and Jayden, 7, also played a role and were both dressed in black tuxedos and white bowties.

A source revealed to the magazine: "It was a beautiful ceremony and very emotional. Jamie Lynn was crying during the vows and Jamie looked like the happiest guy I've ever seen get married."

The duo sparked speculation they were getting hitched after it emerged they obtained a marriage licence from Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Courts earlier this month.
