"Wow, what a journey we've been on - what a beautiful, blessed journey," she says. "I feel grateful to know that the man I'm in love with there is still the man I'm married to today, but even better.
"To have our families there, too - you don't realise how precious these moments are. We've really had a remarkable run and that day was the start of it." The couple have certainly packed in a lot since they exchanged vows in August 2010.

STRONG BOND
Warm, friendly and open, Ayda, 44, cries as she recalls how she felt when Robbie, in a Netflix documentary series about his life, said of her: "I'm the happiest man alive. She makes me want to be a better person." Wiping away tears, she says: "It's a beautiful thing when you're in a healthy relationship. I feel blessed that he inspires me to be a better person and I inspire him, too." Citing their continued laughter as one of the secrets of their happiness, she continues: "We have a very similar sense of humour - we make each other belly-laugh." She also says the Stoke-on-Trentborn star builds her up every day.
"One of Rob's greatest attributes is not giving me flowers or big gifts, but saying really nice things to me and telling me how beautiful and clever I am. It's really cool to have a partner who wants to let you know how great you are."
The two are, of course, there for each other through the hard times as well: "He's also been incredibly supportive.
