The video shows Bowen waiting for Buckland at the altar during their wedding. One of Bowen's groomsmen gives the star a reassuring pat as he struggles to regain his composure.

"Alex waiting for Olivia at the alter is making us super emosh! 'Olivia & Alex Said Yes', Friday 9pm on TLC #OliviaAndAlex," the network wrote.

Bowen and Buckland tied the knot Sept. 15 at Gosfield Hall in Essex, England. Buckland couldn't help but gush about her nuptials in an interview with OK! magazine.

"The wedding was overwhelmingly perfect. It feels like it didn't happen because it was so perfect," she said.

Bowen said in an Instagram post Monday that he arrived to the wedding by helicopter.
