Strictly Come Dancing stars Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara are a match made in heaven, with an “epic” three wedding ceremonies to boot.
The dancers officially tied the knot in July 2017 at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London.
Their stunning reception was held at the Victorian Bath House in Bishopsgate and attended by their closest family and friends, including Strictly colleagues Kevin Clifton, Anton du Beke, Katya Jones and Oti Mabuse.
The happy couple were also joined by a number of their celebrity pals including Frankie Bridge, Daisy Lowe and Louise Redknapp.
In a surprising move, the Strictly stars also held two other ceremonies and renewed their vows within two weeks of their London date.

In addition to their London date, Janette and Aljaž held wedding celebrations in Florida and Slovenia in order to ensure that their respective grandparents who couldn’t travel could see them exchange vows.
Janette told OK!: “It was the happiest two weeks of our lives.
“To say that we got to walk down the aisle, exchange our vows and celebrate our marriage three times is really nice.
“Most people only have the one day. We would do it all again – all three weddings were just perfect.”
Aljaž added: “It was so special.
“All our families, planners and guests put so much into making each wedding so special for us.
“It was lovely that our families could spend two weeks together and get to see each other’s homes.
“We would do it all again – all three weddings were just perfect.”

As if three ceremonies in three different counties weren’t enough, Janette and Aljaž held their lavish London wedding across three venues.
The duo began their big day at the Chelsea Old Town Hall, before hosting their wedding breakfast at Duck & Waffle in Heron Tower.
They wrapped things up in London with a lavish reception at the Victorian Bath House in Bishopsgate.
Other celebrity friends who enjoyed the couple’s late night celebrations included Strictly winner Ore Odube and Janette’s It Takes Two predecessor, Zoe Ball.
Looking back
While the events of Janette and Aljaž’s wedding may seem hectic to some, the couple only have fond memories of their three ceremonies.
Celebrating the couple’s four-year wedding anniversary earlier this year, Janette wrote: Bučko!
“We have the BIGGEST reason to smile and celebrate today…. EACH OTHER! Happy Anniversary! 10 years in love, but today 4 years since the most epic 3 weddings! Haha!
“You make me laugh (you’re getting funnier), you give me strength, you give me friendship, and most of all… love I could not have asked for a better soul mate!
“I love you so much!”
