PA/HELLO

Aww, we love it when celebrities get married. Especially when all the pictures of the big day are in magazines - it's like going to a wedding but without the awkward conversations with relatives, the uncomfortable shoes or the boring speeches.

And Loose Women star Denise Welch is talking about her recent wedding to Lincoln Townley, who's fifteen years younger than her, in Hello magazine this week.

"This is about being together forever. There's no one who can make me happier," she said, adding: "This is my fairytale."

Denise, who divorced second husband Tim Healey last year, toasted the marriage with orange juice, because they've both given up drinking. "Without a doubt I feel and look better without alcohol," says Denise. She could probably remember more of the day, too.

She wore a lemon-coloured raw silk and Chantilly lace gown by Sharon Bowen and said: "It was like walking into one of those weddings in an American movie. Every time I've watched one of those I've thought I'd love to get married like that. I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be."

Celeb mates who flew to the Algarve in Lisa Maxwell, Shobna Gulati, Carol McGiffin and Andrea McLean from Loose Women, as well as Jill Halfpenny, Christopher Biggins and Tricia Penrose.

Meanwhile, new husband Lincoln said: "My most brilliant achievement was persuading Denise to marry me. I turned 40 last year and I have never met anyone like Denise, never been close to anyone like Denise, never loved anyone like I do Denise. We have a very unique connection and I wanted to grasp it with both hands. I've never felt it before. I am proud to call Denise my wife."

Blimey! You're going to get us crying, Lincoln. Calm down. The full interview and pictures are in Hello magazine, out today.
