Jay Blades’ wedding

Only 15 guests were invited to Jay and Lisa’s romantic ceremony at a beachfront villa in Barbados at the time. The couple exchanged rings designed by The Repair Shop’s Richard Talman.

One word sums up the day: perfect.

Based on the Egyptian style of an imperfect circle, they contained the couple’s birthstones.

“One word sums up the day: perfect. We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well,” Jay told Hello!.

Lisa said: “Once you get to a certain age, you realise what’s actually important on the day, and that is having the people around you that love you for who you are. So we made the day our day.”

Romantic Jay even admitted that he shed a tear during the wedding. He confessed: “It was almost like I had tunnel vision and I could only see Lisa there. And honestly, that’s when it really hit me. I was like: ‘We’re really getting married now!’ That’s the only time I really got emotional.”

For the afternoon nuptials Jay wore a black linen suit with a white shirt. The stunning bride opted for a simple yet elegant white dress from Romantic Dreams bridal shop in Birmingham.

It featured a mesh overlay and a plunging neckline, while she held a bouquet of white roses and yellow lilies.

Now, 18 months on, Jay and Lisa have reportedly split.

According to The Sun, Lisa said online in May 2024: “I don’t know how to say this because it’s still really raw. I probably should be really angry but I’m just incredibly sad about the whole thing right now.

“I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much.”

She continued: “I will admit I’m crying as I type this as I can’t believe this is even real. I hope you don’t mind if I just have a few days trying to figure out my life as I’m currently in a spare room with a few essentials.

“I don’t know what else to say. All my love, A very broken Lisa-Marie.”
