The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades shares a look of love with Lisa Zbozen at their “perfect” Caribbean wedding which made the star cry.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 15 guests in the grounds of a beachfront villa in Barbados.
The furniture restorer and presenter, who has been married once before, told Hello! magazine: “One word sums up the day: perfect.
“We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well.”
And he admits he did well up with emotional tears during the vows.
The 52-year-old said: “I think the thing that was most emotional for me was actually saying the vows,” he said.
“It was almost like I had tunnel vision and I could only see Lisa there. And honestly, that’s when it really hit me. I was like, ‘We’re really getting married now!’. That’s the only time I really got emotional.”
Fitness trainer Zbozen added: “Once you get to a certain age, you realise what’s actually important on the day - and that is having the people around you that love you for who you are. So we made the day our day.”
During the afternoon ceremony on November 22, the pair exchanged rings designed by The Repair Shop’s jewellery expert Richard Talman.
They were based on the Egyptian style of an imperfect circle and containing each other’s birthstones.
Zbozen, 41, said: “I really didn’t want a perfect wedding ring because I think nothing is perfect.
“It’s also more individual and has got a lot more care and love thought into it.”
She wore a cream wedding dress from Romantic Dreams Bridal in Birmingham while Blades wore a black linen suit with a crisp white shirt.
Jay was previously married to ex-wife Jade, and the former couple share 15-year-old daughter Zola together, before splitting in 2015. He also has two other children from two previous relationships.
