In May she referenced her upcoming nuptials, posting on Instagram: “Here comes the bride, all dressed in… I can’t wait to walk down the aisle this year and marry my best friend in front of all our special people!”

Marcel told the magazine of the moment he saw Fleur in her J’Aton Couture gown, saying he felt like the “luckiest man in the universe, not just the world”.

He added: “When I saw her walking down the aisle, the emotions took over and for the first time ever it felt real. That was the moment I realised Fleur, my best friend, was going to be my wife. She looked so beautiful, I just want to do it all over again.”
