NEWLY-weds Darren and Sam Foster have landed back home to reality following their fairytale wedding in Cyprus.
The pair, whose live wedding ceremony in Paphos was watched by millions of GMTV viewers last week, spent a few days lapping up the Mediterranean sun before returning to England on Wednesday night.
The public spent the last 12 weeks choosing every aspect of the wedding -- from the venue, invitations and food to the bride's dress, hair and make-up and more than six million people tuned in to see them say "I do".
This morning they appeared on the ITV breakfast show for the final time, where they talked about the emotional rollercoaster and what it is like to be married.
Sam, aged 23, said: "It has been the most amazing, fantastic, wonderful, emotional and incredible experience we will ever have in our lives.
"The wedding was perfect -- everything we had dreamed of."
They were due to travel back to their homes in Radcliffe and Hollins, Bury, today, where they will spend time with both sets of parents while they start house hunting.
Darren, aged 31, said: "We have had an amazing time and it's unbelievable how much has happened to us over the last 12 weeks. It still doesn't feel like real life."
Sam added: "We plan to look for somewhere to live -- that has to be first. Then I would love to have kids. I've always wanted children and I can't wait -- then everything would really be complete!"
