Lauren Scruggs, 26, and E! News host Jason Kennedy, 33, married in Dallas, Texas in a day described by the pair as “the happiest of our lives”.

Ms Scruggs almost died in December 2011 when she walked into a spinning plane propeller.

She met Kennedy after being interviewed by his E! News co-host Giuliana Rancic who then played matchmaker.

“[Giuliana] was like, ‘I think you should meet Jason Kennedy,’’ Ms Scruggs said. “I didn’t know who he was. But she told me that he had this amazing Bible study in Los Angeles and had great friends.

“She texted Jason and asked if he was going to be on set. When I was asking Giuliana about places to go hiking, she told me, ‘Just ask Jason places to go. He hikes all the time.’’

In June Kennedy proposed by laying out candles spelling ‘Will you marry me?’ below her apartment balcony.

Besides Rancic and her husband Bill, guests included Kathie Lee Gifford and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Kennedy told E! News that he feels blessed to have met Ms Scruggs.

“God has blessed me with somebody I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Lauren changed everything for me and I can’t believe I get to spend the rest of my life with her,” he said.

Ms Scruggs said she is actually happy that the horrific accident happened.

“It’s kind of weird to say, but I wouldn’t trade it,’ she told People. “I have seen it as a miracle. I’ve been through a lot but I’m living.

“Sometimes it’s easy to dwell on the fact that I don’t look the same. But every day I’m feeling better and better.”
