I didn't want anything to stop us. The mud made our first dance a bit uncomfortable, but at least it wasn't raining.<br /><br />''The mud was not going to stop me, I had to do our first dance because that is the tradition. <br /><br />''I just wanted to carry on with everything and make the best of it. It was still the happiest day of my life.''
