'In a world where everything is so disposable, isn’t it lovely to do something that has that optimism of ‘yes, we’re going to last the distance’.'
And Martine admitted it was her beloved mother, Jenny, who knew Jack was 'The One' from the word go.
She added: 'Mum adores Jack and could not wait for him to become my husband. Mum said for ages that Jack was The One.

Meanwhile, Jack - who arrived on a speedboat which was featured in Hollywood blockbuster Ocean's 12 - admitted he was overcome with emotion during the romantic ceremony.
He told the magazine: 'I had a tear in my eye pretty much all the way through the ceremony.

After spending their first night as husband and wife at Casta Diva Resort in Blevio, the couple joined family and friends for dinner at the Grand Hotel Imperiale in Moltrasio, before heading off on their honeymoon.
Wearing a simple white vest top and a white lace maxi-skirt, the star looked the epitome of happiness as she and her new husband kissed and cuddled while heading off across the lake on a speedboat.
Martine announced the couple had tied the knot last week.
Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'Hello all! Ive been quiet as I've been having the best few days of my life in Italy Marrying @jackmcmanus Im so happy to be Mrs McManus!'
After revealing her engagement earlier this year, Martine admitted being abandoned by her father when she was two years old had left her wary of marriage.
She said: 'If you've been abandoned by a parent or brought up by a single parent as I was, deep down you feel that's going to happen again.
'Now, with Jack, I feel completely loved. In other relationships I've had to apologise for elements of who I am - 'Sorry about the press,' or, 'Sorry it's not glamorous 24/7.'
