She also explained the story behind the second image, which shows her godson hugging her at the altar. "The second photo entitled 'You may now kiss the bride'... captured the moment my Godson Jensen thought that that was actually his cue," Ali revealed. "All of these little moments in time that we can’t plan for, we can’t anticipate, that make life beautiful - those times we have to take our hands off the steering wheel and let life reveal her spectacular, messy, joyous, sometimes painful, unpredictable self to us. There is no one on the planet I would rather share this joy ride with."

The couple celebrated with family and friends including Ali's Hollyoaks girlfriends Carley Stenson and Sarah Jayne Dunn. "I feel so lucky that we have such incredible friendships that have stood the test of time. We've been through so much together – I don't know what I'd do without them. We're usually a foursome with our other bestie Jodi Albert but she sadly couldn't make it. I know how much she wanted to be with us," said Ali.
