They exchanged vows in front of their friends and family in a gorgeous ceremony.

Guests at the event included Emmerdale stars Natalie Ann Jamieson, Olivia Bromley and Louisa Clein.

Amy walked down the aisle with her father, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, explaining: "He knows he only has a certain amount of time left, so it was important for him to be there."

The pair announced their engagement in August, taking to the social media platform Instagram to share the proposal.
