Inside the luxurious wedding of footballer Jarrod Bowen and TV star Dani Dyer
TV personality Dani Dyer has married her West Ham footballer partner Jarrod Bowen in a low-key ceremony, where her younger sister Sunnie delivered a touching speech during the celebration. Dani, a former Love Island star and mother of three, got engaged to 28-year-old Jarrod following his romantic proposal during a boat trip in Ibiza last year. She later returned to the island for her hen do just a week before the wedding. The 28-year-old bride, daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, shared a few insights about her wedding plans in the lead-up to the big day. Choosing to keep things traditional and intimate, Dani reportedly spent the night before the ceremony apart from her fiancé, staying with her parents, Danny and Jo. Clearly a fan of the Bridgerton aesthetic, the TV star's nuptials were said to be themed around the Netflix hit, with lots of violins there to perform music. And while the celebrity couple's fan base is large, the guest list for their VIP wedding has been kept small as the couple are said to have invited only 50 guests to celebrate their big day. The bride and groom and all their guests dressed to impress for the pastel-themed ceremony, but Dani's dress stole the show as she walked down the aisle. The Sun reported that Dani's white off-the-shoulder gown by British designer Suzanne Neville cost a whopping £10,000 and was paid for by Danny and her mum, Jo, 48. Dani's younger sister Sunnie, who is 18-years-old, had a very special speech lined up for the big day. According to MailOnlne Sunnie shared a sweet poem at the ceremony. Sunnie read a poem from Sex and The City wedding scene, which went: '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'.' While all eyes were on Dani and Jarrod their kids had very important roles to play. Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters were flower girls, with her son Santiago, four, and brother Arty, 11, as page boys. Dani and Jarrod married in an outdoor ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. The £500-a-night hotel was originally built as a hunting lodge for the third Duke of Marlborough and includes 150 acres of formal gardens and parklands, originally designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, a serpentine lake and an outdoor pool. It is close to Pinewood Studios and just 40 minutes drive from central London, making it a favourite with film stars, including Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Jeff Goldblum. Two security guards stood guard at the front of the gated complex on Saturday, where a large outdoor marquee could be seen in the grounds. A local said: "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."
