Lee Ryan recently celebrated a beautiful wedding with his long-time partner, Verity Paris.
This joyful occasion came two years after their intimate legal ceremony in Gibraltar.
The singer, now 40, moved to Spain three years ago to build a life and family with Verity, who is 33.
Their wedding took place at a registry office in Gibraltar, with Lee’s bandmates by his side, making it a heartfelt reunion.
An Emotional Day
Reflecting on the special day in an interview with OK!, Lee shared how emotional he felt throughout the ceremony.
He revealed that he cried multiple times, describing the entire experience as “a dream.”
Their three children played significant roles during the event, with their three-year-old and two-year-old daughters serving as flower girls.
In a touching moment, Lee walked down the aisle holding their newborn son, accompanied by a string quartet playing Hans Zimmer’s “Time.”
A Bond That Lasts
Lee expressed his deep admiration for Verity, saying he knew she was the one after just their second date.
He recounted how their connection was instantaneous, claiming, “She saved my life.”
The couple incorporated their different religious beliefs and spiritual elements into the ceremony, enjoying their first dance to John Legend’s “Never Break.”
Lee cherished having his Blue bandmates—Simon Webbe, Duncan James, and Antony Costa—there, stating that while they’re not blood brothers, they share a bond that has lasted 24 years through thick and thin.
Family Moments and Special Roles
The wedding was also a family affair, with Antony’s daughters, Savannah Rosa and Paloma Valentina, along with Simon’s two daughters, Cyan and Riya, joining as flower girls.
Riya, at just three months old, was the youngest member of the bridal party.
Lee shared that he and Verity plan to break up their honeymoon into three mini-vacations in Venice, Paris, and Budapest over the next year.
A Love Story Unfolds
Lee reminisced about their first encounter at a Christmas lights switch-on, where he was promoting and Verity was performing.
Their first date was a sushi outing, and they quickly bonded over their love for food.
He fondly recalled the moment he realized Verity was the one, which involved picking out a Christmas tree and dancing in his living room to John Legend.
Complementing Each Other
Describing their relationship dynamic, Lee noted that he is a “nutty Gemini,” while Verity, a Libra, brings balance to his life.
He praised her patience and their shared creativity, highlighting how they write songs together and enjoy performing.
Lee expressed immense gratitude, stating, “My wife saved my life. I know that for sure.”
Embracing Family Life
When they first married two years ago, Lee opened up about finding someone who supports him fully.
He referred to Verity as a “beautiful, strong, and loving woman” who is an incredible mother to their children.
He remarked on how calm and grounded he feels, attributing this newfound peace to Verity and their family life.
New Beginnings in Spain
Lee is also a father to Bluebell, 15, from a previous relationship, and Rayn, 14, whose mother is his ex-fiancée Samantha Miller.
The couple moved to a beachside apartment in Costa del Sol in 2020, embracing a lifestyle that offers them a “better quality of life.”
After two decades in London, Lee has grown fond of scenic walks along the coast and enjoys the fresh sea air.
He mentioned that they obtained Spanish residency before Brexit, giving their daughter the opportunity to hold dual passports and learn Spanish.
A Journey of Growth
Lee and Verity were first linked romantically in January 2020, enjoying a romantic holiday together in February of the following year.
Verity, an Ariana Grande impersonator, previously appeared on The X Factor in 2009.
Lee, known for his past relationships and challenges, has reflected on the lessons learned from his journey.
He previously acknowledged the importance of co-parenting with his exes, aiming to create lasting memories with each of his children.
Looking back, Lee mentioned that he wasn’t sure if he would settle down for a long time.
He expressed a love for the early stages of relationships but recognized his commitment to making memories with his kids, which he prioritized during those formative years.
Now, with Verity by his side, he feels fulfilled and ready to embrace their shared future.
