Of all the special wedding presents that they received, the one that moved James most was a leather-bound book which Jane bought for them both.

Jane and I have been writing to each other since we've known each other," he reveals. "We started off with faxes and then when we were in Venice we bought a book which we completely filled. We wrote our last entries in it before the wedding and that made me cry because I wrote a statement of what Jane- meant to me before we stood up and got married, and she wrote back to me. Then she gave me this new book which said Jane and James on the front and that meant so much to me. I have already started writing in it."

" I've got the reputation for being romantic but James is much worse than me," Jane says laughing fondly as her new husband reveals that he wore a new pair of shoes on their wedding day, which Jane had bought him, because "I was walking into a new life."

Jane made sure she had the traditional something old, something new. something borrowed and something blue" before she walked down the aisle.

Her peach Chantilly lace wedding dress with its floaty silk organza over-skirt, was designed by David Emanuel and to go with it she borrowed a spectacular pair of earrings from Buccellati and wore a blue sapphire and diamond ring, which James had bought her when they met and had put an old set of insoles in her new shoes because they felt too big on the day.

Jane had four bridesmaids. her daughter Katieand her stepdaughter Jennifer and her two sisters Anne and Sall; her son Sean was the ringbearer and she had five close friends to "stand up for her" the party

"They are all my closest girlfirends in the States, who have been extremely kind and wonderful to me- in the last few difficult years especially," she explains, referring to the long legal battle she had with her exhusband David.

"The high point of the whole ceremony for me was when Marian took James and I, my mother two sisters and two children aside just before and we all held hands and prayed together,"Jane admits. "I wept terribly during that." There were plenty of funny moments during the day as well. "My sun got an ovation when he walked down the aisle rather in the style of Charlie Chaplin and my daughters had a giggling fit in the middle of the ceremony when Marian accidentally got their names mixed up." she reveals.

Although Jane and James are so busy with Dr. Quinn that thev haven't had time for a honeymoon. they did manage to sneak off for a night together in Malibu.

"After all the wonderful dancing and singing at our reception we went home at about 11: 30 pm. But we had half the world staying with us and my daughter woke us up at 7 a.m. the next clay, so we spent Sunday night in Malibu." she reveals with a laugh.

Johnny Crash had given us a great big tin of caviar and we shared that for dinner and had a wonderful time."

As they consider looking for a new house together James can't resist one last reflection on being married.

"There's no panic thinking- 'Oh my gosh, now I'm married, I'm trapped," he ponders. "I just have this tremendous sense of gratitude that with Jane in my life I have everything I always wanted."
