The special occasion clearly meant a lot to Emma, who has been married over a decade herself. The former model started dating McBusted star Matt Willis in 2005 and the couple married three years later at Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire. They now share three children: ten-year-old Isabelle, eight-year-old Ace, and Trixie, two. Emma is also great friends with vlogger, author and mum-of-three Giovanna Fletcher, who is married to Matt's bandmate Tom Fletcher, and the two families went on holiday to Walt Disney World last April.
