Akina and Ben's engagement was a long one (apparently this was all Ben's fault), so Akina had plenty of time to create her very own wedding dress, and it was stunning!  She also created a special dress for their 

engagement party and photos.  

 

She is certainly talented as she also paints and created the arbour floral arrangement for the wedding day, made up of flowers she dried from the wedding of one of her close friends.

 

These little personal touches make the ceremony so special.  

 

She walked down the aisle with both her Mum and Dad beside her, towards a clearly emotional Ben, who had been trying so hard to keep himself together while waiting for her arrival.
