Reflecting on the big day, Ramsay shared a carousel of photos on Instagram, including one of them holding hands in a Rolls-Royce Phantom on the way to the church.

Reports of a feud among the Peaty family first emerged when Caroline did not attend Holly's hen do at Soho Farmhouse. It was later claimed Peaty's parents were uninvited from the wedding, and Peaty's aunt and other family members criticised him on social media. His brother James was arrested in November over allegations of sending threatening messages during Peaty's stag do in Budapest.
According to The Sun, Ramsay made a dig at Peaty's parents during his wedding speech, reportedly saying: 'Shame you don't have the same' after praising his own wife Tana. Peaty reportedly failed to mention his family in his speech, instead calling his swim coach Mel Marshall 'like a mum'.
Speaking to the Daily Mail ahead of the ceremony, Caroline Peaty said: 'I don't think they understand how much they have hurt me; it's as if they have cut my heart out. This is the first Christmas that I've not had my family together – my family is broken.' She added: 'They are both still loved, there is nothing I won't forgive, and I want them to have the best day.'
