In the lead-up to the big day, Amy and Ben enjoyed a joint stag and hen do.
Amy’s original hen do was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic.
Amy spoke to Hello! in 2020 about her hen do being cancelled due to Covid.
“My bridesmaids worked so hard on it, but it’s just one of those things,” she said.
“There’s far worse things happening out there in the world, people are losing family members and friends, and their jobs, so I can’t complain that I didn’t get my hen.”
Amy issues health update
Amy’s wedding comes just weeks after she gave her fans an insight into how health condition has impacted her life.
The 31-year-old suffers from Crohn’s disease – a condition she has done much to spread awareness about.
In an honest Instagram post back in May, Amy opened up about how the disease has robbed her of opportunities.
Amy posted a picture of herself in hospital after a Crohn’s flare-up.

“I would do anything in the world not to live with it [Crohn’s], I often say what did I do to deserve this?” she wrote.
“Then I’d be robbed of opportunities and dreams because I’d be seen as a ‘risk’ which would frustrate and upset me, which as many know isn’t good for any sufferers,” she then said. “Why punish us anymore?”
Meanwhile, she added: “Having IBD doesn’t take away your talents, your hard work, your work ethic! Infact it makes us stronger.”
