Inside Dani Dyer's lavish wedding to footballer Jarrod Bowen
Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen have said 'I do' in front of a close knit group of their nearest and dearest in a lavish wedding ceremony.
The Survival Of The Fittest contestant, 28, and football star, 28, got engaged in July 2024 when Jarrod popped the question during a romantic break to Ibiza.
The couple confirmed their relationship three years prior before welcoming twin daughters in 2023.
Dani shared a glimpse into the big day on her Instagram page, posting a picture of herself hand-in-hand with her new husband walking down the aisle.
The Love Island star stunned in a jaw-dropping £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress by Suzanne Neville, while the West Ham ace donned a sophisticated three-piece black suit for the outdoor ceremony.
A second snap showed the couple sharing a smooch in front of a pristine white backdrop and matching floral arrangements, coordinating with the bride's lavish gown.
She captioned the post 'The Bowen's🤍', with Dani and Jarrod's famous pals rushing to congratulate the pair.
Dani's famous dad, Danny Dyer, shared her post to his Instagram Stories, while also reposting an adorable shot gazing lovingly at his grandchildren.
The couple's two-year-old twin daughters, Summer and Star, were flower girls, while Dani's son Santiago, four, and brother Arty, 11, took on the role of page boys.
Danny can be seen watching the twin girls dressed in beautiful white dresses, and Santiago in dapper black trousers and a white shirt.
The Mirror reports the couple went for a pastel colour scheme at the £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire, where the nuptials took place.
The luxury hotel boasts 150 acres of formal gardens and parklands originally designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, a spa and gym, indoor and outdoor pools, fine dining options and cocktail bars, and opulent suites.
An onlooker told the publication: 'The marquee is the biggest I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it – and we've had Sheikhs get married here. They spent days building it.
'It's all been very civilised so far, but we'll see if that continues as the night goes on. They've had Angelina Jolie stay and Tom Cruise landing in his helicopter. Jeff Goldblum also stayed here for months while filming a Jurassic Park film at nearby Pinewood Studios.'
Mail Online reports that Dani's younger singer Sunnie, 18, gave an emotional speech on the big day, sharing a poem from the iconic Sex and The City wedding scene.
It goes: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.'
They kept the ceremony and reception low-key, reportedly inviting 50 of their nearest and dearest to celebrate their big day.
Dani was walked down the aisle by EastEnders star Danny, with a source claiming his wife Jo made him keep his speech PG.
An insider told The Sun: 'Danny and Jo were very emotional about Dani getting married. She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows.
'They couldn't be more proud, and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it, but they're keeping it traditional.
'Jo made sure Danny's speech wasn't outrageous.'
Ahead of the big day, Dani opened up to Heat magazine about wedding planning being the 'most stressful experience ever.' More Trending
'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever – that's the only thing I've not enjoyed,' she said.
She also revealed she would take on a double-barrel surname, continuing: 'I am going to keep the Dyer – I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'
Before saying 'I do', Dani enjoyed a boozy hen do in Ibiza with her closest pals, while Jarrod jetted off to Las Vegas for his stag do.
Danny left Dani in dismay on a recent episode of their podcast, in which he joked there would be strippers on the lads break.
