Emotions were high during the special day, which took place on Friday 4 August at the beautiful country estate of Merrydale Manor in Cheshire. The bride and groom's children played starring roles, with Emilie's seven-year-old stepdaughter Polly acting as chief flower girl, while son Teddy, four, was ring bearer."
"The kids stole the show as usual. They're our world, so we wouldn’t have it any other way," says proud dad Michael, 33, who is known as Mikey.
Bride's dress details - and proud Kym's reaction
Emilie's stunning dress featured delicate lace with a figure-hugging silhouette and fishtail skirt. "We know an amazing seamstress called Sonya who works at Puure Bride, so I went into see what they could do with my mum’s old wedding dress, because I had fallen in love with it," Emilie says.
"We walked into the shop and my mum was like: 'Are you sure you want to wear mine? Look at all these amazing dresses.' So I tried a few styles and when I put this one on, I knewit was The One. I felt amazing on the day."
"Seeing her in her dress, veil, hair and make-up was the most incredible thing," says Kym. "She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Of seeing his bride walk up the aisle on the arm of her father David Cunliffe, Mikey recalls: "When Emilie entered, the tears started flowing. It was the moment I'd always dreamed of. I'd run it over in my head a million times."
Emilie, who has inherited her mum's talent for singing, decided to have a "day off" from vocals, and instead left the entertainment to DJ Nick Campbell, a nine-piece live band called Tommy T and the Belletones, acoustic duo Joe and James Fay and singer Dave Perkins.
Following their big day, which was created with the help of wedding planner Julie Arnold, the pair headed off for a getaway to the Lake District to soak up their newlywed bliss. "We bring out the best in each other," Emilie tells us of their perfect partnership, while Mikey adds: "Six years in, forever to go."
