Zaralena also uploaded a snap of their final night before the big day, with the couple donning face masks in the bath.
She wrote: ‘Thank you for all your gorgeous messages, I’ll reply once the wedding madness is over. And now, pamper and a good night’s sleep before our big day’.
The reality star, who now works as a model and influencer, and Shaun got engaged in December last year on Christmas Day.
Announcing the news at the time, Zaralena showed off her huge diamond ring and wrote: ‘Sooo… I’ve woke up with a Fiancé’ (sic).
After finding fame on Ex On The Beach, Zaralena has since spoken openly about having alopecia.
She was diagnosed in 2021 after a bald patch at the front of her head grew rapidly, eventually leaving her entirely bald and without any body hair.
‘I could see it getting worse and worse every day,’ she said at the time. ‘But the doctors didn’t have any answers. It was like watching your identity being stripped away before your eyes.’
She added: ‘Losing all your hair, especially at a young age, leaves you feeling like a deer in the headlights. It’s not just the hair on your head but losing all your eyebrows and eyelashes is the worst feeling ever. It makes you look ill and it’s devastating.
‘I couldn’t get any answers, it felt like I was screaming for help and nobody could hear.’

‘I’m doing it as much for everyone else who has messaged me to say they are struggling to cope with this condition. It can ruin people’s mental health, even though it is viewed as cosmetic.
‘I’d love to get my hair back but either way, I have learnt to feel comfortable in my own skin whereas some people never get used to their hair loss.’
