"When he told me: 'Dad, I’m so proud of you,' my eyes welled up," Alex admitted. "I'd been feeling a bit stressed and kept checking the weather. Rain and cloud were forecast but that morning, the sun shone and a wave of calm swept over me. It was exciting to know that the next time I saw Imogen, she'd be walking down the aisle towards me," he added.

Alex also opened up about a "special moment" between himself, his son and his bride.

Alex's son Cruz was his ring bearer and mini best man

After a smiling Cruz stepped forward to present Alex with the ring box, which contained a very sentimental ring from Imogen's family, the groom said: "That was a special moment between Cruz, Imogen and me. It was a real honour to be handed those rings by my son."

He continued: "Slipping the gold band onto Imogen’s finger was very special, too. The ring belonged to her mother Isobel and her grandmother Jill before her."

The TV weatherman and the Australian-born e-commerce professional tied the knot on 19 September 2022, the same day as Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, in front of 100 loved ones. Cruz wasn't the only one to have a special role in their big day – Alex's brother and cousin performed the role of ushers, and his best friends were his best men, while Imogen's bridesmaids were her sisters Georgia and Helena.

The latter wore periwinkle dresses from Scanlan Theodore, while the bride looked effortlessly elegant in an ivory Mikado silk Macpherson gown from Australian designer Kyha Studios.

Alex gushed that his bride "looked amazing", and he looked equally as smart in a matching white jacket, which he teamed with black trousers and a bow tie.

The couple got engaged on New Year's Day in 2022 on a beach in Majorca, after being introduced by a mutual friend in August 2020.

He previously told HELLO! of the romantic proposal: "The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was crystal clear. 'This is it,' I thought. Imogen's not one for taking photos, but as I persuaded her to pose for a picture overlooking the sea, I kneeled down to take the engagement ring I'd hidden inside my rucksack.

"When she turned around, I was on one knee, and asked her the biggest question of my life – and she said yes. It was an amazing moment."
