Just four months ago, the betrothed pair, Don Akim, 43 and Rosanna Beckett, 33, began bodybuilding together, and they are now celebrating becoming the first ever couple to both win world championship honours at the same event, having picked up three trophies between them at the Miami Pro World Champions held in St Albans - beating more than 200 athletes to the awards.
In the four months leading up to the world champions, the duo spent 14 hours a week in their local gym.
Ship worker Don said:
'The judges didn't even realise we were a couple - when we told them they were like "wow".
Rosanna went up first and I was over the moon when she won. I had to wait a nerve-racking few minutes before I was chosen, but I was thrilled.'
