Lucy said: ‘White roses as groom is from Yorkshire and one secret flower that was my Dad’s favourite so he was there when I walked up the aisle. Later, in a quiet moment I left it where I scattered my parents’ ashes many years ago.’ 

The newlyweds said ‘I do’ in front of their close friends and family to mark their special day. 

Lucy also gave an insight into her hair and makeup choices, she wrote: ‘Secrets of a bride! It takes a lot of very hardworking & brilliant people to make me look like this!!

‘Loved our dresses @mariamorriscouture Never believed my hair could look like that @ddhair_beauty thanks Kieran, make up was fab Harriet Maguire – you superstar (please thank your fab Mum for the fizz) & well done w the nails Lauren @superdrugbroughton which still look fab 5 days into our marriage.

‘No freebies btw just all super talented lovely people. I believe in thanking people when they do a great job. Thank you for transforming me.’ 

Lucy previously told Cheshire Life: ‘I am the happiest that I’ve ever been in my life and he says that he’s very happy too. It’s wonderful. We have a great time together. 

‘I feel as if I have found my soul mate. We were in Northumberland for a break when he surprised me by proposing, and I immediately said yes.’ 

She revealed that after her ‘very simple yet romantic wedding at her local church’ the happy couple will head off on a ‘mini-moon and then a longer honeymoon later some time’.  

It comes after Lucy quit ITV News in August after a whopping 36 years on screens.

Lucy said she was ‘bowing out quietly’ after ‘one of the saddest weeks’ – a reference to the tragic Southport stabbings when three young girls lost their lives. 

In her post she shared a heart-wrenching video of families laying flowers at the scene where the horrific murderers happened. 

She has been one of the main female news presenters of ITV regional news programme, Granada Reports since 1988 and celebrated 35 years presenting the programme in November 2023 at age 64. 

It was confirmed last month that the popular presenter had decided to ‘move on’ after more than three decades presenting the North West news programme.

It was then confirmed with a Twitter statement as she said it has been a ‘privilege’ to have the job.  

She penned on Twitter: ‘I will bow out quietly – it’s been the saddest of weeks. Like everyone else my thoughts are only with those little girls who lost their lives in Southport. 

‘I have met some of the loveliest people this week & over my 36 years . It has been a privilege Thank you.’

Revealing her exit, Lucy said: ‘This has been one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. 

‘But the time is right to move on now. For me it has always been the best job in the world, with the best people in the world, in the best region in the world.

‘I am very grateful that I was given this job so many years ago. I have always tried my hardest to make a positive contribution and I hope I will be remembered with some fondness in the years ahead.

‘It has been a complete honour and privilege to serve the people of this region and I will always have the interests of the north west at heart. 

‘A big thank you to all the people who have appeared on the programme over the years, sometimes when they have been facing some very tough challenges.’ 

Praising her colleagues, she added: ‘I’d also like to say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful people who I have worked with in more than 40 years in TV and thank you to our viewers who have been kind enough to invite us into their homes. 

‘We have really appreciated that. I have often been overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of our viewers in difficult times, especially when we lost Tony Wilson and Tony Morris.

‘What a joy it was to work with them both – I still hear both of them quoted often and I still have their numbers in my phone. 

‘I have certainly been lucky to work with the best of the best.’
