The threesome, were due to fly out of Inverness Airport on Monday morning following the bash at Cawdor Castle near Inverness.

However freezing fog enveloped the runways preventing any aircraft, from taking off or landing.

But the pop stars ticket home came in the unlikely guise of RAF Lossiemouth which offered landing facilities for the band’s in their private 17 seater Lear Jet. They were swiftly driven the 34 miles to the Moray base to board their plane.

Military Police met the entourage at the gates, checked their security level and escorted them into the military base to complete their journey back south.

On Sunday the streets of the sleepy Highland village of Cawdor were flanked by hundreds of fans desperate to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

Owen arrived alongside fellow Take That members Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald, and all four were happy to stop and wave to fans.

Mark wore a purple velvet suit with a traditional top hat while his band mates dressed in a black tux suits with white ties.

The bride arrived fashionably late with her two bridesmaid, also in white, dressed in a beautiful v-neck white dress with a lace style veil.

There was no sign of former bandmate Robbie Williams, to the disappointment of the hundreds who had stood waiting for hours.

However, a number of fans waiting at the back of the church claimed to have seen him sneaking in a side door.

The couple and their children, Elwood and Willow Rose, were joined by a wedding party of about 50 however the service doors were closed to the media and it was strictly friends and family who got to enjoy the special event.

The couple decided that they wanted a low-key wedding, and it is understood that they refused offers from celebrity magazines to cover the wedding.

They are said to have chosen the Highland location after enjoying holidays in the area.
Actress Emma and her new husband smiled and waved at the crowd outside the church after the ceremony as the audience went wild with applause and cheering.

A reception was held at nearby Cawdor Castle following the service where the band were expected to sing.

Mark posted a message on the Internet saying: "No doubt once the boys have had a few drinks we will get into song."

The wedding was the biggest celebratory event in the Highlands since Madonna and Guy Ritchie tied the knot at Skibo Castle In 2000 and had their son Rocco christened at nearby Dornoch Cathedral.

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.

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.

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."
