"We didn’t want all of that attention on us, and we didn’t want to spend an obscene amount of money when we could use that money to travel the world instead.

The day itself was really relaxed. "We woke up around 6am, Feisal and his best friend went to the gym and brought me back a coffee from town whilst I got ready before we got a taxi to St George's Hall, where we met our guests.

We only had 20 guests in total, and it was only our parents who came into the actual ceremony with us.” Actor and publicist Eleanor has shared how they kept the cost of their wedding down, revealing that she wore a £15 dress to the ceremony at St George’s Hall because she could wear it multiple times.
