It was always going to be a wedding with a difference when Jay Blades exchanged vows with Lisa Zbozen. The TV presenter took to his role as groom with the same calm, laidback demeanour that has endeared him to so many on his hit BBC1 show The Repair Shop.
“One word sums up the day: perfect. We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well,” says Jay, as the couple reveal in hello! that they have married, exclusively sharing the first photographs from their beautiful and intimate Caribbean wedding ceremony.
“Once you get to a certain age, you realise what’s actually important on the day – and that is having the people around you that love you for who you are,” fitness trainer Lisa says. “So we made the day our day.”
THE KING AND JAY
The wedding caps a remarkable 2022 for furniture restorer Jay, 52, who was invested with his MBE this year by the King – then Prince of Wales. The royal also appeared with Jay in a special episode of The Repair Shop in October.
