I do: Fleur East has married fiancé Marcel Badiane-Robin in a lavish Moroccan ceremony, three months after the couple announced their engagement Reflecting on her special day, Fleur, 31, told the latest issue of Hello!: 'I think every girl grows up thinking of their wedding. I'm a huge fan of love and romance. 'Marcel always laughs at me, saying I live in Disneyland and that I believe in fairytales!' Marcel, who proposed during a trip to Tokyo in March, added: 'There's a big difference between a marriage and a wedding – and you've got to make sure you've met the right person. Long-term: Fleur and Marcel first met in 2010 while they were both working in a nightclub but have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight 'It's a lot of work. You need a friend as well as a lover; someone who understands you and has the same vision as you. It's a long journey and if you're going to commit, you've got to understand the full picture. And when you meet the right person, you know.' Confirming their engagement after flying back to England earlier this year, she told Instagram followers: 'I’ve literally just landed back in the UK from Japan and I can’t believe I can say that I’m engaged to be a WIFE!! 'My boyfriend Marcel proposed to me while we were in Tokyo. What a trip to remember! You can read all about my surprise engagement shoot exclusively in @hellomag on sale tomorrow!
