She continued: “I’m a daddy’s girl and he was so looking forward to driving me to church – a tribute to our father-and-daughter road trips.

“He’s just like me, sentimental and nostalgic. I even caught him watching the film Father Of The Bride.”

Richard told the magazine that he believes James will make “a great husband and us a great son-in-law – and friend”.

Judy added: “James had me from ‘hello’. He walked into our house for the first time, so toweringly tall he blocked out the light. I thought: ‘Hmm… he’s impressive.’ But far more than that, he is a sweet and lovely man. I couldn’t be happier Chloe has married him.”

My husband 🖤
