A self-confessed 'diva' bride who got engaged after giving her boyfriend an ultimatum was left disappointed by his proposal - because she was wearing UGG boots at the time.

Marketing manager Aysha Aziz, 24, and Royal Marine Tom Ellis, 27, who live in Bromley, South London, first met seven years ago when she was just 16, and Aysha eventually warned Tom she would leave him unless he got down on one knee.

But the perfectionist was left frustrated when the big moment came, because she was casually dressed and her nails weren't 'perfect'.

Aysha went on to plan not one but two lavish ceremonies at a combined cost of over £30,000; an English country wedding followed by a traditional Indian bash, all of which was paid for by her father.

And the bride-to-be was careful to instruct her seamstress to make her gown 'ridiculously tight' to show off her figure.

The social media addict and selfie-lover is a perfectionist and says she likes everything a 'certain way'

The 24-year-old recalls of the days leading up to her engagement: 'I remember saying “If we’re not engaged by 2016 then I’m gone”… I made him feel that I wasn’t going to wait around.

'He proposed to me when my nails were not perfect… They weren’t terrible but he literally caught me off guard.

'In my head ideally I would want to get engaged when I looked perfect. And you know… I was wearing UGG boots.'

The couple appear in 5STAR's Badass Brides, which follows brides-to-be as they face the challenges of organising their dream day.

But Aysha's other half isn't fazed by her demanding nature, and says he adores her in spite of her bossy traits, adding: 'She runs the show, and I love it.'

There was no expense spared at either one of their ceremonies - first a traditional English country wedding

Tom says: 'I do try to put my foot down around her but she’s a difficult one.

'Basically I can’t talk to her when she is doing her make up. I can’t talk to her when she is getting ready… That’s Aysha.

Aysha defends herself, explaining that because she 'likes things a certain way, that’s when the diva moments come out'.

And it's not just her now husband who knows it.

Aysha persuaded her father to foot the bill for not one, but two weddings for his daughter - throwing in expensive jewellery, designer shoes and two different gowns.

Tom and Aysha love to keep themselves in shape and the bride asked for her wedding dress to be as tight fit as possible to show off her figure

No expense is spared on the lavish ceremonies for daddy's girl Aysha, who is half Bengali, who plans an English country wedding, followed by a traditional Indian ceremony at a combined cost of over £30,000.

Money is no object as her father - who also offered to fund refurbishments on her home with Tom - explains: 'There is no budget and she's worth every penny.'

The couple bond over their love of fitness, but while Tom exercises to stay healthy, Aysha admits she is the total opposite.

She said: 'I am about vanity, the gains.

'About four or five months ago is when I really started getting into training. It was all about making my bum bigger and my waist smaller and I’ve seen a difference.

'When it came to my dress fittings I said to the seamstress “make sure it is ridiculously tight, I want to show off my figure”. I have worked hard for it.'

Their first wedding at the 16th Century Leez Manor in Chelmsford, Essex, goes off without a hitch - even after worrying messages from Tom's best man Joshua when they miss their train to the venue after an all-night stag do.

At their Indian ceremony a few weeks later, and with no alcohol to fuel festivities, Tom impresses Aysha's extended family and gets his father-in-law's seal of approval.

Badass Brides airs on Wednesday at 9pm on 5STAR
