Most embarrassing moment: I was on a long-haul flight and the gentleman next to me in the aisle seat had fallen into a really deep sleep.

I have never gone so red in all my life, and we still had hours of the journey to go!

Celeb Crush: Richard Madden

Describe your Wedding Dress: A strapless fit and flare with beautiful lace and beading. I then had off the shoulder sleeves which were made for me. So special to make the dress my own!
