“When I saw you walking down the pier island, along the Caribbean Sea, at the stunning golden hour in your gorgeous champagne dress, you honestly had me fighting for my composure, I knew I was so blessed that I feeling the luckiest man on earth since you said YES.’

The wedding, which she described as a fairytale, saw them exchange vows in front of five of their closest friends at the Zoëtry boutique hotel in Jamaica’s Montego Bay.
