The couple’s daughter, Fleur, served as flower girl on their special day, wearing a dress with “I love you Mom and Dad” sweetly embroidered in French on the back.
Manon was a beautiful bride in every way as she stepped out in a stunning off-the-shoulder white dress with cut-out bardot sleeves and white heeled sandals.

The French baker confirmed at the time that her boyfriend had ‘dropped down on one knee’ with a beautiful sapphire ring shortly after they arrived at their boutique hotel during the Caribbean holiday.
Manon admitted it wasn’t a surprise, saying: ‘We had been talking about getting married for a while. It was love at first sight…
‘After two weeks we were boyfriend and girlfriend and within four months I moved in with him. When you find the one, you just know.”
