Aaron later revealed that he proposed exactly "a year to the minute after we met."
However, the couple waited three years after their initial engagement to finally tie the knot.

Aaron said their loved ones were "really lovely and supportive" of their relationship, with Sam adding, "They know how intensely we feel."
Since they met, Aaron has achieved great success in the movies.
In March 2024, it was being strongly tipped that he would be the next James Bond.
A source said: “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.
“As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”
The news follows as a number of A-list stars were rumoured favourites to fill the iconic role formally held by Daniel Craig.
