"I dance in front of millions but I was nervous to walk down the aisle," said Amy, who was wearing an exquisite bridal gown from Laura May Bridal. "I felt like a Disney princess."
"Amy always looks stunning so it was no different to normal," added her proud groom. A special moment during the ceremony came Tom serenaded the couple with McFly hit All About You.

"I originally asked Tom to sing as I walked up the aisle, but he told me he always cries at weddings, so I wanted to let him enjoy the ceremony," explains Amy. "I talked so much wedding talk with him last year, so it's nice that he's part of this special moment."
While expectations for their first dance were high, former British dance champions Amy and Ben didn't feel any pressure. "We're used to dancing on stage but this felt easy," said Ben.
Now that they have tied the knot, Amy will officially become Mrs Dowden-Jones, although she is planning to keep Dowden as her stage name on Strictly. "I wanted to go with Dowden- Jones because if we're lucky enough to have a family in the future, I'd love to have the same name as my children," said Amy.
