She gushed: "It's hard to find that one person in the world. Once you find that person, go for it. That kind of commitment is very special."

Jessica also confessed she had some slight nerves before the ceremony, which was held at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, Southern Italy.

The 'Total Recall' star said: "I had a little bit of butterflies. I was about to stand up in front of my family and friends and bare my soul for the person I love. It was terribly emotional. But once I saw Justin I was calm. I thought, we got this."
