Many remember their wedding day as one of the happiest days of their lives. However, Lady Frederick Windsor's wife Sophie Winkleman has recalled in a new interview that she remembers elements of her special day in a less than favourable way.
"My hair was so disgusting and Freddy still gets upset about it," Sophie told the Telegraph, reflecting on her 2009 wedding to Lord Frederick Windsor at Hampton Court Palace. "It was just disgusting. And my mother-in-law chose my dress, which was very sweet and puffy, but I looked barking."
The dress in question was a silk number designed by Anna Bystrova of Roza Couture with lace sleeves and hand-embellished sequins.

Sophie's wedding 'blur'
"It was such a blur because we had to move to Los Angeles the day after and I had to start a brand new job the day after that," she said. "So we got married on Saturday and moved everything, our whole lives out to America the day after. And I’d been so concentrating on the work that I hadn’t thought about the wedding."

But now I look back on it and think I should have worn a simpler dress and I should have got my hair blow dried by someone who’d done it before."
Sophie goes stateside
The couple moved to the American city so that Sophie could continue her acting work that had already seen her star in Disney's 2005 adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and 2007 TV drama The Trial of Tony Blair.
