Louisa Lytton was left in tears after her EastEnders co-stars nearly missed her wedding day.
The actress - who is best known for playing Ruby Allen on the BBC One soap - tied the knot to new husband Ben Bhanvra in a stunning ceremony in Siena, Tuscany.
Following their engagement in 2019, the couple have been forced to cancel their nuptials on three occasions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
And it appears their lavish three-day wedding was also hit with complications as a number of guests experienced travel issues.
In fact, Louisa, 33, was unsure whether EastEnders co-star and close friend Lacey Turner, 34, would make it after her flight was cancelled.
Opening up to OK! magazine, Louisa shared: "I did not stop crying, because it had taken people so much to get there.
"I was waiting by my phone from the Friday for people to tell me that they had landed. And then they were saying, ‘Our train has been cancelled, so now we’re on the coach.’
"We couldn’t believe how much effort people made to get out there for our special day, so I cried a lot when I saw people that I wasn’t sure if they were going to make it or not."
Thankfully, Lacey managed to make it to Italy on time.
The actress was also joined by soap pals James Bye and Zaraah Abrahams on the special day.
Meanwhile, Louisa's adorable daughter Aura had a big role in the wedding as a little flower girl.
The newly married couple got engaged back in 2019 and were due to exchange wedding vows in England at the beginning of the month - ahead of their Italian wedding - but couldn't after contracting Covid.
Taking to Instagram to give fans a wedding update, Louisa posted a snap of herself celebrating her hen do and revealed their wedding nightmare.
She captioned the post: "This time last week... Since we have had a covid household. Finally on the mend.
"Not what the doctor ordered. We were supposed to be exchanging our vows today before our Italian Wedding!
"Instead we cleaned the carpets which were covered in sick."
Despite their struggles, Louisa and Ben are currently making the most of their honeymoon in Florence.
The pair jetted off to the picturesque city with their daughter shortly after wrapping up their wedding celebrations.
Alongside a series of photos from the trip on Instagram, Louisa shared: "Mr and Mrs + 1. Anyone else honeymooned with the minis? We need a rest after this."
