A big congratulations to Andrea McLean and Nick Feeney!

The TV star thanked Nick for mending her broken heart, and said that all her dreams had come true. She wrote: "The best day of our lives has begun. I’m so happy that from today Nick and I will be walking through life hand in hand, side by side. I didn’t dare hope that I would find love again when all seemed lost, and the world felt dark and sad... but four years ago today I reluctantly went on a blind date and the man who would change my life forever kissed my cheek and whispered “I’m so nervous” in my ear. “So am I” I whispered back."

Andrea then went on to reminisce about the four years they have spent together getting to know each other, writing: "In four years we have talked, listened, laughed and learned to love again. My broken heart is not only fixed, it is filled to bursting. I have learned that love in middle age comes with so much more... the past isn’t left behind, it travels with you, and teaches you what you don’t want as much as what you do. It brings baggage, history and scars, but over time it becomes something stronger and more solid because of all of that. I dared to dream, and today my dreams are coming true. I lovyou @lordfeeney #weddingday#truelove #happilyeverafter#dreamsdocometrue."
Shortly after posting the sweet snap, Andrea's famous friends and fans were quick to send their congratulations. TV star Kate Thornton wrote: "So thrilled for you both darling! Have the most spectacular day." A follower added: "Congratulations to you both! What a beautiful story." A third added: "Have the most fantastic day."

"Something happened… #engaged #heputaringonit #beyondhappy #enxcited #loveisintheair," she captioned the sweet snapshot.

And because we make each other so happy, it's changed our lives. So many people have commented on how much more positive I've become since I met him. Thanks to Nick, I'm no longer looking backwards, I'm looking forwards."
