Andy Cosgrove liked it and he put a ring on it so the gorgeous Gemma Garrett is no longer one of the single ladies.

Former Miss Great Britain, model and TV presenter, Gemma Garrett, (28) yesterday [02 September 2010] married her long term friend Andrew Cosgrove. The couple celebrated their big day - a tasteful mixture between traditional and contemporary style - in the striking Ten Square Hotel in the heart of Belfast.

The happy couple have been firm friends for years, having met through a mutual friend, but besotted Andy proposed on the 13th February this year after a whirlwind romance of just seven months as a couple.

Gemma looked simply stunning in her special dress which was flown in from America by White Butterfly Bridal. The bridesmaid dresses, jewellery, shoes and all other accessories also came from the family-run boutique just outside Belfast. The lucky ladies wearing the elegant bridesmaid dresses were Gemma's sister Lisa Stewart, her childhood best friend Jeane Simpson and Andy's sister Emma Cosgrove, with her niece Sophie Stewart as flower girl to add the cute factor.

Gemma's headdress, jewellery and the bridesmaid's jewellery was all made local jewellery designer Helen Fitzpatrick. Mother of the bride, Margaret Garrett wore a beautiful Sangria coloured John Charles ensemble from The Wardrobe in Ballyclare topped with an amazing bespoke headpiece by Grainne Maher Millinery.

The event planning was overseen by Ant and Dick, one of the UK and Ireland's best loved planning duos. Melanie McGimpsey at Mood Event Decoration has worked in the fashion industry for many years as a stylist and visual merchandiser/set designer created a chic look for the Porcelain suite in Ten Square for Gemma & Andy.

A very relaxed Gemma said: "I counted down the days with anticipation and excitement, I'm so happy to have fallen in love with my best friend; and I'm delighted to be Mrs Andy Cosgrove and to spend the rest of my life with him!" Awwww. Congratulations Gemma & Andy from all The Sugahfix Gals. xoxo
