According to a report in the Daily Mail, the couple tied the knot in a "secret" ceremony in the south of France with just two guests in attendance, once of which is understood to have been his mother Philippa.
Christian Palix, the local major of the Riviera resort of Bandol, officiated at the ceremony and confirmed it was a "small, intimate affair", describing Wilkinson as "an iconic figure in the sporting world and someone with great human qualities".
He added: "I wish them great happiness in our town and to symbolise this great happiness, I offered them an olive.
"This is because an olive is a symbol of happiness, and because Jonny Wilkinson is not a man who drinks alcohol, not even Bandol (the wine), so the olives are preferable to grapes."
The sports star and his wife met in 2005. Miss Jenkins, a scaffolding company heiress, had been working as a waitress in a cocktail bar in Magaluf, Majorca, with her twin sister Tracey at the time. In May 2009, she moved to France with Wilkinson when he joined rugby side Toulon.
