As well as describing her wedding as a "fairytale," Denise told HELLO!: "It was like walking into one of those weddings in an American movie.
"Every time I've watched one of those I've thought I'd love to get married like that. I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be."
"My most brilliant achievement was persuading Denise to marry me," Lincoln sweetly added. "We have a very unique connection and I wanted to grasp it with both hands. I've never felt it before. I am proud to call Denise my wife."
Who are Denise Welch's ex-husbands?
Denise was married to Tim Healy from 1988 to 2012
The former Benidorm star married David Easter in 1983 before splitting in 1988. She later described it as "the fairytale wedding I'd dreamed of," adding to The Mirror: "I wore white and I walked down that aisle fulfilling a fantasy that I'd always had of being the blushing bride. I was, after all, only 24."
She later regretted making the commitment with David, who later admitted to infidelities. "I thought getting married was just something you both do. What I've come to realise, and the best advice I could give anyone, is that a leopard doesn't change its spots."
Denise married her second husband Tim Healy in a frilly white bridal gown in 1988 when she was 20 weeks pregnant with her eldest son, The 1975 lead singer Matthew. They went on to welcome another son called Louis in 2001 before splitting in 2012.
