Leona Lewis tied the knot with Dennis Jauch in a vegan Buddhist wedding at Sting’s Italian estate
SINGER Leona Lewis has tied the knot in a vegan Buddhist wedding at Sting’s Italian estate.
The X Factor winner, 34, described the “good energy” of her marriage to US choreographer Dennis Jauch in Tuscany.
She wed Dennis, 30, in front of 180 family members and pals including Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan and The Voice winner Jermain Jackman, who sang at the ceremony.
She told Hello mag: “It was just the most beautiful day, full of love. It was so special to be able to bring together everyone we love. There were a lot of tears.
“The room already had so much good energy and having all the love in there was really powerful.”
The wedding, which included a vegan menu and wedding cake, was moved inside at the last minute due to a storm which German-born Dennis claimed was a sign from late father Lutz, who died three weeks before.
He said: “There couldn’t have been more of a sign. Dad made sure we all knew he was there.”
Leona wore a stunning full-length white gown that draped behind her as she walked down the isle to the soundtrack of the classic orchestral tune 'Ave Maria'.
The star then went on to flaunt a summery beaded blush dress for the reception and a glittery jumpsuit for a boozy evening party.
But the loved-up pair, who live together in California, had their eyes on each other as soon as they met in 2010 when Jauch was a backing dancer on Leona's debut concert tour.
Ahead of the wedding, Lewis told the magazine: "We're so ready to do this. Dennis is the most kind, considerate person I've ever met. He's been my rock through my crazy ups and downs and everything I've gone through in my life."
Only last month Leona built the hype for the big day itself when she splashed £8,000 a night on a fun-filled luxury Hawaiian hen do.
