Denise Richards' wedding date held a special significance for her new husband

Denise explained: "Aaron and I have been together since June 2017. We kept the engagement private.

"He really wanted to marry on September 8 because eight means infinity. We called [wedding planner] Mindy Weiss and she did it less than 48 hours and it was beautiful."

The 'World is Not Enough' actress - who has daughters Sam, 14, and Lola,13, with first husband Charlie Sheen, as well as seven-year-old Eloise, who she adopted alone - caused a stir with her unconventional wedding outfit, but the lace romper with a long tulle skirt was exactly what she wanted for her big day because it was so different to her first bridal gown.

She told People magazine: "I didn't want to do a traditional wedding dress.

"I wore a traditional dress for my first wedding, so I wanted something different this time.

"My dress was actually a romper which was perfect since we left the reception on Aaron's motorcycle. I didn't take the tulle skirt off until I got on his bike. I loved the skirt so much I wore it the entire evening."

But the 47-year-old actress didn't pay attention to any of the critics of her outfit as she "loved" her look and thought it was perfect for the celebration.

She said: "I didn't know there were so many opinions on what I wore. I stopped reading stuff about me online a long time ago.

"I loved what I wore -- it was fun and sexy and I thought appropriate for a Malibu wedding by the beach."
