After meeting on the popular show in 2012 and falling for each-other off screen, Kit and Rose tied the knot on Saturday 23rd June in 2018, at a stunning ceremony which took place at Rayne Church in West Garioch, Scotland.
The ceremony then moved to one of Scotland's oldest castles, Wardhill Castle, to continue the wedding celebrations, a location which has been owned by the Leslie family for the past 900 years.
