Newlyweds Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty, both vocal advocates for sobriety, surprised their wedding guests with an extravagant gift: handcrafted £190 bottles of Don Julio Tequila 1942. The gesture came despite the couple's own well-documented journeys with alcohol, which they have said previously left them at "rock bottom."
A Lavish Gift Despite Personal Sobriety
The winter wedding, held on 27 December 2025, saw the couple push the boat out for their guests. Each personalised bottle was engraved with "H&A 27.12.25." The choice of brand had a notable link to guest Victoria Beckham, a known promoter and fan of Don Julio, who has been photographed enjoying it at high-profile events like Paris Fashion Week.
This wasn't the first expensive tequila bottle exchanged by the pair. Months before tying the knot, Adam gifted his then-fiancée a £600 bottle of Don Julio embossed with 'Future Mrs Peaty'. The wedding bar, dubbed 'Ramsay Peaty's Bar', also served a healthy cocktail menu including martinis and spicy margaritas.
Openness About Past Struggles
The generous gifts stand in stark contrast to the couple's shared history of abstaining from alcohol. Influencer Holly Ramsay, 26, marked two years of being teetotal in 2022, stating she quit after a party lifestyle led her to hit "rock bottom." In 2021, she revealed a three-month stay at the Nightingale Hospital in Marylebone, London, where she was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Her husband, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 31, has spoken candidly about his own battles with alcoholism and depression, crediting Holly with "saving" him. He confessed to turning to the bottle after the 2018 Commonwealth Games, leading to what he described as "three years of hell" with his mental health, which prompted a break from competitive swimming in 2023.
A Perfect Day Funded by Family Fortune
Reports suggest the entire wedding was a lavish affair. A source told The Sun that guests also received a celebratory T-shirt featuring an illustration of the couple driving and waving, alongside the wedding date. The source added, "The bride and groom really pushed the boat out. No matter the turbulence behind the scenes they wanted the wedding to be perfect. And it was."
Gordon Ramsay, Holly's father and famed TV chef, is believed to have contributed significantly, with reports indicating he spent an astonishing £50,000 on flowers alone. The couple first met in 2021 when Adam competed on Strictly Come Dancing alongside Holly's younger sister, Tilly Ramsay.
Despite the presence of high-end alcohol as gifts, the day remained a celebration of the couple's union and their supportive relationship, which both credit with having a profoundly positive influence on their lives and continued commitment to wellness.
