Jack Whitehall and Roxy Horner Exchange Vows in Opulent Wiltshire Ceremony
Comedian Jack Whitehall and model Roxy Horner have officially tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony held at the prestigious Euridge Manor in Wiltshire. The event, estimated to have cost around £250,000, took place yesterday, drawing attention from fans and media alike for its grandeur and star-studded guest list.
A Glimpse into the Wedding Day Preparations
Roxy Horner offered fans a sneak peek into her wedding day through a social media post shared by her sister, Yasmin. In the image, Roxy can be seen striking a pose in white satin pyjamas, captioned with the phrase 'Going to the chapel'. This intimate moment set the tone for a day filled with elegance and emotion.
The Stunning Venue and Ceremonial Details
The wedding was hosted at Euridge Manor, a stunning 17th-century estate sprawling across 450 acres. The venue boasts luxurious amenities including a boating lake, an orangery, a helicopter pad, a pergola draped in wisteria, and a grand ballroom. Owned by multi-millionaire John Robinson of the fashion brand Jigsaw, the manor is renowned for its discretion, architectural character, and secluded setting, offered exclusively for private events.
In a touching gesture, Jack Whitehall reportedly rowed across the lake to reach his bride, moving many guests to tears. Hours before this, he was spotted arriving at the venue, clutching what is believed to be his groom's speech, highlighting the personal touches that defined the ceremony.
Celebrity Guests and Fashion Highlights
The nuptials attracted a host of VIP attendees, including James Corden, Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff, and David Beckham's close friend David Gardner. Adhering to a black-tie theme, guests were dressed to impress, with Jack sporting a traditional black tie suit, a flower buttonhole, and Christian Louboutin shoes.
Roxy Horner, who shares a two-year-old daughter named Elsie with Jack, is thought to have worn one dress for the ceremony and another for the afterparty. She had her final fittings at the Mayfair bridal boutique Galia Lahav, where she was seen twirling in elegant ivory strapless silk gowns. At one point, Roxy appeared to wipe a tear from her face during her veil fitting, underscoring the emotional significance of the day.
Bridal Party and Security Measures
The bridal party included Jack's sister Molly, along with fellow models Sophie Longford and Milly Slinger, all dressed in champagne peach ankle-length gowns. The couple's daughter, Elsie, served as a flower girl, adding a family-oriented touch to the celebrations.
Security was notably tight, with guests instructed to turn off their phones during the ceremony and refrain from sharing content on social media. Cars arriving at the venue had blacked-out windows, and security guards were stationed at the entrance to ensure privacy.
Pre-Wedding Nerves and Family Dynamics
Despite his experience in the spotlight, Jack Whitehall was reportedly super nervous, particularly about delivering his groom's speech. A friend revealed, 'Forget the nerves that came with hosting the BRIT Awards, this is so much more tense. He's so very excited and has been looking forward to the day but it's a big moment.' This marked the first time Jack's family met Roxy's relatives, with Jack humorously describing the union as 'Downton Abbey meets EastEnders' due to their contrasting backgrounds.
Post-Ceremony Festivities and Hen Do Highlights
Guests stayed at an exclusive five-star hotel nearby, while the newlyweds remained on-site with their families. The ceremony was scheduled for the afternoon, followed by an evening of music, dancing, and celebration. Jack's brother Barney served as best man, with Jack hinting that Barney might seek revenge in his speech after Jack's 'savage' remarks at Barney's own wedding.
Prior to the wedding, Roxy kicked off her celebrations with a hen do in London, joined by Jack's mother, Hilary. The event featured dining at a top hotspot, a private dance lesson from a Strictly star, and a lap dance from a Magic Mike stripper. Hilary faced a last-minute dress code mix-up, but she ultimately shone in a stunning red sequinned halterneck dress, fitting the 'fizz and frolics' theme perfectly.
