'I'm very lucky to have met him, If I hadn't have done sport, our paths would never have crossed.'
The dog-loving London 2012 star even shared the day with her pets, as she and new husband Scott took their two Dobermans Stella and Jonty for a walk after the ceremony in their full wedding pomp.
The happy couple were also joined on their special day by a number of Team GB teammates, including swimmer Keri-Anne Payne.
Victoria, who bagged gold and silver medals at last year's London 2012 Olympic Games, chose the Strictly Come Dancing house band to perform as they celebrated after the ceremony.
And the star's fellow contestant from last year's series of the celebrity dancing show, actor Colin Salmon, joined the group on trumpet.

Scott, 37, who first met Victoria when he became a performance scientist for Team GB cyclists, told the magazine: 'The day was amazing, brilliant, beautiful.
'I was just blown away by how she looked. It was the vintage look, the shape of her body, the smile on her face.'

It also tainted what should have been a highlight of her career after she won a gold medal in the women's individual sprint in Beijing.
'Winning the gold medal should have been the happiest day of my entire life and it just wasn't,' she revealed in a BBC documentary last year.
'It felt like the saddest day in my entire life. I felt almost numb. Everyone was so angry that Scott and I had fallen in love. It was so unprofessional - we were a disgrace and had betrayed everybody.'
