Strictly Come Dancing 's Amy Dowden has revealed details about her wedding to fiancé Ben Jones – after tying the knot at a five-star venue in her native Wales last week.
The professional dancer, 31, had been due to marry her fiancé in 2020, though the ceremony was postponed by the couple in light of Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The nuptials were certainly worth the wait, with Amy commenting about the wedding: "It was a day I'd dreamt of since I was a little girl and, well, it was even more than that."
Guests included fellow Strictly dancers Janette Manrara, 38, Aljaz Skorjanec, 32, Katya Jones, 33, and Dianne Buswell, 33 - with the latter acting as bridesmaid for Amy.
The guestlist is said to have also included judge Craig Revel Horwood, 57, as well as some of Amy's past celebrity partners such as Tom Fletcher, 36, and Colin Jackson, 55.
Amy and Ben shared their special day with Hello! magazine, with them revealing that Tom – best known as a member of McFly – performed during their wedding on July 2.
He serenaded the newlyweds with a rendition of his band's song All About You during the celebrations, with the groom describing it as having been a "highlight" of the occasion.

Amy – who was partnered with Tom on the BBC dance competition last year – told the outlet that she had initially wanted him to sing whilst she walked down the aisle to Ben.
She explained about her plan: "I originally asked Tom to sing as I walked up the aisle, but he told me he always cries at weddings, so I wanted to let him enjoy the ceremony."
The newlywed admitted that she had felt "nervous" to make her way down the aisle, though she recalled feeling "like a Disney princess" wearing a Laura May Bridal gown.
Ben – who runs Art in Motion dance school in Dudley with his wife – said she "looked beautiful" at their wedding. He added: "Amy always looks stunning so it was no different to normal."
The bride - who has been on Strictly since 2017 - has teased that whilst she will keep Dowden as her stage name, she will officially become Mrs Dowden-Jones following their nuptials.
The full article about Amy and Ben's wedding features in the latest issue of Hello! magazine, which is on sale on Monday.
