Stacey Solomon has given a first glimpse inside her wedding with Joe Swash and its making her fans all teary eyed. The happy couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their home, Pickle Cottage, in Essex on Monday (July 25).
The Loose Women star, 32, and former actor Joe, 40, met for the first time on the set of I'm A Celebrity back in 2010. Stacey was crowned 'queen of the jungle' after participating in the show, with Joe, who won the show two years earlier, there to watch her victory.
Fast forward 12 years and the couple are now married with two children together, daughter Rose and son Rex, along with Stacey's two sons Zachary and Leighton, and Joe's son Harry. The blended family all live together in Pickle Cottage - which the pair bought back in March 2021 for a reported £1.2 million.

Joe and Stacey got engaged on Christmas Eve in 2020 during a family woodland walk. They were due to wed last year but their big day was postponed due to the pandemic and because Stacey fell pregnant with Rose, who was born on Stacey's 32nd birthday in October.
On Monday the loved-up couple finally wed in a special ceremony in a huge garden marquee surrounded by their star-studded friends and family.
Stacey and Joe were reported to have been joined by the Loose Women panellists while James Argent's The Arg Band performed at the Jewish ceremony.
On Sunday, the mum-of-four revealed she was taking a break from social media for a few days. In the TV star's final post before her special day, she thanked her fans who had followed the couple's wedding journey.
Sharing a snap with her 5.3 million Instagram followers, Stacey wrote: "Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your beautiful messages and the kindest well wishes ever. Thank you for all your advise and tips.
"One of the pieces of advice all of you told me was to soak it all in and enjoy every second because it's over in a flash. So I'm going to say goodbye to my phone for a few days. And makes sure I take in every moment. The set up. The getting ready. The day. And the aftermath.
"I love you all lots and lots. Thank you for your kindness always. Lots and lots of love from Joe, Harry, Zachary, Leighton, Rex and Rosie. -And me - soon to be Solomon Swash."
Following their big day at Pickle Cottage, Stacey also revealed that the couple will have another legally binding wedding to register their vows.
In response to a fan's question asking how they can marry at their home, the TV star explained: "To get married anywhere legally, the place has to have a "civil ceremony" licence. One of the requirements for this licence is that the premises must be made "readily available" for ceremonies...
"As this is our private family home and we need it to remain that way we couldn't go for that option. So we are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends & family and a ceremony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally after".
As fans have been eagerly awaiting to see inside the lavish wedding, Stacey has now broken her silence to unveil a video showing the beautiful outdoor set up.
The video showed the guests seating area decorated with fairy lights and a lovely floral arrangement, whilst an acoustic cover of Can't Help Falling In Love played.
Sharing the video, Stacey wrote: " The calm before our forever," a nd her followers couldn't get enough of the first glimpse as they admitted they were in tears watching the video.

Even Stacey's best pal Mrs Hinch found herself getting emotional again after attending the couples wedding on Monday.
