‘Aschaffenburg really said we’re not doing things by halves and delivered a full fairytale — pink kirche, cobblestones, carnival, fireworks, castles, and all.

But the real plot twist? @mns_acoustic and his entire family are just… the best humans.

‘His parents welcomed us like we’d always been theirs, and his brother made sure we were looked after at every turn — which, if you know Dario and me, is no small feat.

‘We showed up as guests and somehow left feeling like family. That’s the magic right there.

‘Simon — you got the best one (I’m biased, obviously). I know you will take care of her as you always have.

‘Love you both endlessly, and danke schön to the whole crew for making this the most beautiful week. Dario and I are still not over it.’

Augusta commented on Phoebe’s post saying, ‘I love you so much, thank you for being part of our special day. Could not have done it without you. How blessed I am to have you as a sister.’

While mum Jane also described the day as a magical one.
