Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec recently celebrated their anniversary and the professional dancer marked the occasion with a sweet tribute
Janette Manrara has been inundated with well-wishes as she shared a peek into her charming ‘one night away’ with hubby Aljaz Skorjanec, celebrating a significant personal milestone. The Strictly Come Dancing sweethearts have enjoyed over ten years of love since first crossing paths at Dance Attic studios in London back in 2010.
Their love story flourished on the stage of the renowned dance production, Burn the Floor, but soon faced the challenge of distance, with Aljaž returning to Slovenia and Janette to LA. Fate brought them together again in London in 2013 as they both secured spots as professional dancers on Strictly.
Fast forward two years, and Aljaz romantically proposed at the very studio where their love began.
They tied the knot in 2017, surrounded by their Strictly family in London, with Janette’s dream gown designed by her former celebrity partner Julien Macdonald, reports the Manchester Evening News.
On Tuesday (July 15), Janette took to Instagram to share how they marked their anniversary, posting a video filled with joyful images of the couple. The presenter and theatre star disclosed that they returned to The Ned in London, where they spent their first night as a married couple.
In her post, alongside the heartwarming footage, Janette wrote: “Happy Anniversary. Life has been so busy this year with work, the move, and of course raising our little sunshine Lyra, but we have managed it all so well.
“We’ve been a true team through it all. One night away for just the two of us, to remind ourselves of the beautiful day we got married, was exactly what we needed.”
She continued: “Staying in the same hotel of our wedding night, having a beautiful dinner over looking the sunset, it could not have been more perfect. Married and best friends through this crazy ride of life. I love you more than you will ever know…..”
The congratulatory messages poured in for the couple. Janette’s It Takes Two co-presenter Fleur East wrote: “Happy anniversary to you both.”
Ex-Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley responded: “Happy Anniversary you gorgeous pair.”
Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Sara Davies, who previously partnered with Aljaz on the dance floor, commented: “Awwwwww so glad you guys got some special time just the 2 of you! Enjoy.”
Fashion designer Julian, mentioned earlier, posted: “All the Lovers. Happy anniversary to my fabulous friends. Now you need to celebrate and KEEP DANCING.”
Meanwhile, @elena_gunners penned: “Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple!” @nbarnes86 gushed: “What a beautiful place to celebrate! Happy Anniversary to you guys. What you have is so special.”
