Faye Tozer's wedding
Faye and Michael tied the knot on 5 December 2009, at the lovely Beamish Hall, in the North East of England.
Their wedding was filmed and featured on Four Weddings, for a celeb version of the reality show, which sees married couples-to-be have their weddings judged, and compete for a prize.
Speaking to Digital Spy in 2010, Faye revealed how she got involved with the show - and how she felt about the experience: "Like most people, I've got an agent and I think the show had been phoning around finding out who was getting married.
"It just so happened that my wedding was set for 5 December anyway. As we weren't having a private affair and had an OK deal in place, we thought, 'Well let's have a look at what they've done previously and have a long discussion about the family'.
"I have to say that I'm a big fan of Come Dine With Me and it's along those sort of lines and in the end, I thought, 'Why not?' So we agreed to it.
"[My wedding] was absolutely traditional, straight down the line. Michael is from the North and has a huge family and as Faye from Steps marrying into that family, I didn't want to do anything that would make great nanna jump or anything outrageous.
"Also, I didn't want to compete. I was very specific that I didn't want to go over the top with entertainment.
"For me, it was all about the family. It might come across on TV as really boring, but for me it was just perfect."
Faye, Michael and Benjamin still live in the North East. Looks like mum will be doing some serious travelling, soon, though...
