Big Brother star Brian Dowling renewed his wedding vows with his husband in a stunning ceremony just one year after they welcomed their second child into their family.
Brian, 47, first said ‘I do’ to Arthur Gourounlian a whole decade ago, and the sweet couple have decided to walk the aisle for a second time, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. They had their two daughters present, one-year-old Blu and three-year-old Blake.
Arthur took to social media and shared a snap of them posing up a storm in matching black suits. They were surrounded by beautiful flowers and were seen grinning from ear to ear as they held their daughters.

Friends and family rushed to send their congratulatory messages, including Natasha Hamilton, who penned: “How beautiful- huge congratulations to you all.”

One person commented: “You guys have me crying here, I am so happy for you Arthur Brian”, while another added: “Awww with your girls how beautiful xx”.
Brian, who first shot to fame on Big Brother series two, shared an array of pictures, along with the caption: “You know what, it’s a GORGEOUS DAY for a wedding @gourounlian …………… Wanna do it again TODAY”.
Brian also shared a special tribute to Arthur as he posted a video of himself flicking through his wedding album and said: “10 years ago to this very day 30/07/15. We @gourounlian called it OFFICIAL in front of all our loved ones. We literally had no idea what was ahead of us in the years to come or what was expected from each other as husbands. Well, let’s just say it’s been ONE HELL OF A RIDE.”

Brian added: “Married life is not a walk in the park, it’s FULL ON and can be a bit of a s*** show at times, but you’ve got to work at it, people. We have ALWAYS LOVED each other, but I’m sure there may have been times when we both didn’t like each other and listen, that’s expected.
“Let’s just say the spare room has been occupied a couple of nights over the last 10 years, and that’s ok.”
Their wedding renewal comes just one year after they welcomed their second daughter through surrogacy. Brian’s sister carried both of their children after Brian found out he was infertile.

Speaking on Ireland AM in November, he said: “It’s something I have been very embarrassed about, I don’t know why I’m embarrassed about it. The issue of the infertility for me is a much bigger issue, and that is of our daughter.
“I’m still her father – when I say I’m infertile, I still have a child. I’m very mindful of the words that I use and the conversations I have.”
