She wrote: 'When in Vegas… 6 years after our cancelled Covid wedding we thought we should probably get round to making it official... And yes, in the most ‘us’ silly and easy going way as possible. Can’t wait to catch you up on the rest of our trip but right now, we’re catching a flight to California! SEE YA'.
Stylish Attire for a Memorable Day
The bride looked stunning in a chic white mini dress, while Robert opted for a sleek all-black ensemble.
