Reacting, Laura said:

"We had a big wedding planned that we had saved for a long time, but because of the cancellation, we decided to invest in our future and put towards buying our forever home instead.
"I really wanted to breathe life into this beautiful old house. I wanted it to be safe for years to come, as well as being more sustainable and energy efficient.
"Looking back now, I feel in complete disbelief that we did that. Although it wasn’t our plan, I think everything worked out as it was supposed to and I have so much admiration, as well as respect for my husband."
