Corrie actress Samia Ghadie gives first look at her wedding dress

Just beautiful.

Coronation Street actress Samia Ghadie has married Sylvain Longchambon, her partner of three years. The couple, who met when Samia was paired with professional ice skater Sylvain on the ITV show Dancing On Ice, married in Delamere Manor in Chesire. Samia and Sylvain have one child together, 11-month-old Yves, and they became engaged in May last year. The long-running Corrie actress writes a regular column for OK! magazine and so, she decided to share photos of the special occasion with the celebrity magazine.

In an interview accompanying the wedding photos, Samia said that Freya, her six-year-old daughter from her previous marriage to property developer Matt Smith, walked her down the aisle. Talking about what a special moment that was, Samia said:

“I didn’t want her to give me away as she’s never going to have to give me away in her life, so she walked me down the aisle as Sylvain is getting Freya as well.

CUTE or what?! Chatting about how she decided to break from the norm for her wedding celebrations, Samia revealed that she and Sylvain chose something very unique, a sand ceremony. Explaining the concept, she told OK!:

“At the end we had a sand ceremony. We each had a vial of sand – mine was lemon coloured and Sylvain’s was blue. “We took in turns to pour the sand into another vial. “That signified that our love is inseparable, as you cannot separate grains of sand".

In another adorable quote, Samia revealed just how excited she was to tie the knot with her beau.

“I was so happy I had to stop myself from running down the aisle!

Finally, an up-close look at the dress. Swoon.

So happy that I've met Samia again today??? pic.twitter.com/ZgJgl09VjB
