Stacey, 30, said: '˜It is like a dream come true. It is what I have always wanted to do.

Stacey and Lisa, a busy mum of three, met in Cornwall when their husbands Gary and Tom were stationed through their posts as aircraft engineers in the Royal Navy.

They were delighted to be reunited when they were both transferred to Gosport. 

As Stacey was working at a salon suppliers in Gosport, she met Paula through her mobile beauty work.
