Stood in his overalls, the couple exchanged vows in front of some of their friends and family.

Ben told him: "You are the best looking man that I know and I know a lot of men. 

"Back before we first met I said to you that you see me, that you get me. You always have and I know that I get things wrong, quite often as well, and sometimes you get things wrong. 

"But when you do, I forgive you. When I'm with you I am better. I'm whole. That's me done."

Callum replied: "It ain't just that cheeky smile, or the fact you're proper gobby, and maybe a bit broken. 

"But you taught me Ben that no matter what my head is telling me to always follow my heart and today I can't think of anything else. 

"Before you it was like I was put together all wrong. You picked me up piece by piece and put me back together just like I should've been. 

"I promise to speak honestly and to listen, sometimes. But most importantly to remember that I am us. Before you Ben I was so so lonely but I ain't lonely anymore."
