"It was the best day of our lives," AIex says, as the couple share their special moment with HELLO! after tying the knot at Ashridge House in Hertfordshire in front of 200 guests including ice dancing stars Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Karen Barber.
"I'd dreamt of having a winter wedding and it was better than I could ever have imagined. I felt so excited to be surrounded by the people we love that I was jumping up and down the whole day."
TEARS OF JOY
Smiling at his wife's enthusiasm, Paul - one-half of YouTube duo Woody & Kleiny - adds: "It really was the most magical day. I'm not usually an emotional guy, but I kept crying tears of happiness."
The newlyweds, who found love on reality show Celebrity Coach Trip in 2019 and became engaged after Paul's surprise proposal at London's Winter Wonderland attraction last December, kickstarted their wedding with a welcome party the night before.
Against the neo-gothic backdrop of Ashridge House, a traditional British hog roast and bouncy snow globe proved a big hit with US-born AIex's family, who flew in from Boston.
"They thought it was like a fairy tale," she says. "During his speech the next day, my dad said it felt like our own royal wedding." The historic venue was adorned with floral archways and cascading green foliage and scented white flowers. "It was like a gorgeous film set," says AIex.
For her dress, the 34-year-old bride chose a snow-white bespoke gown by designer Kay Heeley of Angel Couture.
With its fitted bodice, long tulle sleeves, a skirt that flared from the waist - "like a skating skirt", she says and 10ft train with longer veil, it was everything she could have wished for.
"When I saw my reflection, I gasped," she says. "This dress was designed to be worn in three different ways, which I did. There was even a hidden pocket to carry my vows.
