A source close to the couple told Mail Online: "Stacey and Joe had the best day of their lives.
"It was exactly everything they had hoped for, the weather was glorious, and they had a joyous day with their children and family. It was also important to Stacey for her day to uphold her strong Jewish values, as well as be a modern and fun day for everyone.
"They had always wanted their wedding to be just for them, at their home, and keeping their celebrations intimate did not disappoint."

Stacey told fans, 'So after lots of thinking, wondering, phone calls, and then crazy rearranging we were so excited to hear tonight that we can definitely have our wedding ceremony at home.'
Posting a video of the beautiful setting, Stacey then said, 'We are having a little ready minute walking around the garden with the boys thinking where things might be.
'We are thinking about walking down woodland walk for our vows and then a reaction in this old barn. I honestly can not wait to hear your advice, your wedding stories and share this whole adventure with you all.' (sic)
Then, In April 2022, Stacey gave fans a sneak peak at her wedding aisle, telling her followers: "This morning I had to meet with the caterers, florists and everyone in between because I almost forgot we are getting married in three months time.
"We are on the last part now, the aisle. And my sister just put a load of candles in my kitchen jars at the bottom where we are going to stand and I'm crying."
Although the ceremony took place at Pickle Cottage, Stacey confirmed it wouldn't be legal until they register their marriage at an official venue.
She said: 'To get married anywhere legally, the place has to have a 'civil ceremony' licence. One of the requirements for this licence is that the premises must be made 'readily available' for ceremonies...
'As this is our private family home and we need it to remain that way we couldn't go for that option. So we are having a relaxed family blessing in front of our closest family and friends and a ceremony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally after'. (sic)

I felt really emotional today but the reality for me was that I was able to bring Rex with me, to a job that I absolutely love, doing something I really enjoy. I sat for a long time today just thinking about how lucky I am. And I couldn't help but spend a lot of time thinking about women with really tough jobs, ones they may not even like doing. Jobs that aren't understanding. The jobs that don't allow you the chance to continue to work and also allow you to include your child in some way. Those people who don't have understanding, companionate colleagues and bosses. Those that are doing all they can to survive and don't have a choice as to weather they "want" to go back to work or not.
'I remember having Zachary and going back to college when he was this age, then I'd be straight to the fish and chip shop after college and I'd only see him before I dropped him off in the college crèche and then when I got home about 10 after my shift. I'm so lucky that thats not the case this time around (enter 1st child mum guilt 😂) But I know that that scenario and so many others are lots of people's current reality so basically I'm in awe of you all. You're incredible. You're raising super humans and doing a great job!'

October 2019: Stacey praises Joe for being a good role model
Stacey's caption revealed it was the first photo she'd posted of the couple since their baby was born. She told her fans, 'Realised I haven't posted a picture of Joe and me on our own since before Rex was born 😱 I think it's a combination of loving a family picture and momentary dislike for each other 😂 All jokes aside, I take the Mickey out of him a LOT and moan at him MOST days but I bloody love this man he brings me endless hours of laughter both with and at him, he loves me so much it makes my stomach happy and he is the best father and male role model I could ever wish for. So I forced him outside with me to sit on a soggy hay bale so I could get a picture with him in front of the autumn door to show my appreciation 😂 I do love you @realjoeswashy very much 🖤.'

Also, I wouldn't want to keep it a secret. I'd be so excited. I'd be straight on the phone to you lot. You'd all be there.

"I think because it's a baby, it makes everything acceptable. There's a real reason behind it. If it was just a normal, everyday, this is how we are feeling. Fine, I would have to think about where we were in a relationship. Because we had our baby, our family, it all becomes acceptable." Confessing she would have struggled if their roles were reversed, Stacey said, "If I had a baby and my partner didn't want me anywhere near that baby, I would have really struggled.

"I got a lady to put a load of flowers out. And when I took her through the forest, she saw the flowers and she went, 'Aww I think someone's died over there.' Coz it was all white flowers and I went to her, 'Oh come let's have a look, pay some respects'." 😂
