She wrote: “How was this just a year ago!? This day last year I flew to Cape Town and went straight from a 14 hr flight to this @Loveisland shoot.
“It was so exciting but also fucking scary! It feels like a lifetime ago, not a mere 12 months, and nothing could prepare me for the emotional rollercoaster ahead.
“Eternally thankful for the people around me in my life for keeping me sane 💕”, Laura added.

Sharing the snap to Instagram on New Year’s Eve, she wrote: “A year ago Iain asked me to marry him and we had the most magical, perfect ceremony.

“We have never spoken publicly about our engagement or wedding. Back at the time we never felt the need to say anything as it’s all such a personal experience. We also were too busy enjoying it!
“We’ve never shared this picture before now but a lot of people have contacted us and congratulated us the last month with good intentions so here’s to good news!
“And if anyone uses this picture we’d appreciate you donating on our behalf to @chooselove ❤️ sending love to you and yours and here’s to 2021!
“Happy new year everyone! Wishing you all the love x.”
