Speaking to OK! about their big day, Jake explained that Freddie was the ringbearer, while Leo had to be carried down the aisle by Sophie's sister after having a "breakdown".
"He had a breakdown, so Sophie’s sister just carried him down the aisle," he said at the time. "And then he sat and watched Cocomelon with my mum while we were getting married. But then, as we were doing the vows, he decided that he wanted to be at the front as well.
"So, he kicked off so much that when we did the vows, he was actually using the microphone to sing. I think it made it much more special."
