The former Love Island star could be seen looking relaxed and laughing before she tied the knot. 6 6 6 Over the weekend, Dani, 28, said 'I do' as she married West Ham right winger Jarrod Bowen, 28. The pair said their vows to each other yesterday, in front of their close family and friends. Their elaborate ceremony took place at the five-star hotel The Langley in Iver, Buckinghamshire, the former manor home of the third Duke of Marlborough.

She could be heard singing the nursery rhyme, Hop Little Bunnies out loud as one of her daughters danced around her in a bright yellow co-ord outfit. In other snaps shared of her big day, Dani looked sensational in white as she and footballer Jarrod got married in a star-studded ceremony.

How Dani Dyer transformed her reputation The daughter of everyone's favourite EastEnders geezer Danny, is currently living the high life. But Dani has had a rollercoaster few years, from her Love Island win back in 2018, to watching her son's father Sammy Kimmence go to prison for fraud, and now navigating her glamourous new life as a WAG and mother of twin babies. In recent years, Dani has completely shaken off the 'chav' persona, and has become one of the most well-known of the current England WAGs. Fabulous spoke to celebrity PR expert Ed Hopkins to find out the key steps Dani has taken to reinvent herself, including the tips she has borrowed from iconic WAG Cheryl Cole. Ed revealed that Dani's ability to navigate personal challenges, such as the scandal involving Sammy, has greatly played a crucial role in her reinvention. Ed said: "By openly discussing her struggles and triumphs, she has built a strong, relatable persona. "Her transparency about her personal life, including solo parenting and dealing with public scrutiny, has garnered significant public support and empathy." He also shared that Dani's openness in discussing the challenges of motherhood, has helped to transform her reputation. Ed said: "This openness has made her more relatable to a broader audience, particularly young mothers. She balances her public image by sharing both the joys and hardships of parenting, creating a more nuanced and authentic brand." Dani is often seen supporting West Ham winger Jarrod, including during England's devastating loss to Spain in the 2024 Euros. Her unwavering support for her partner, has cemented her as one of the most well-known WAGS of this generation, according to Ed. He said: "Her active support for Jarrod, including attending football matches and engaging with fans, mirrors the strategies used by high-profile WAGs like Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham, who also stood by their partners publicly and built their own identities alongside them." Not only this, but Ed revealed that Dani has been able to stay relevant over the years due to her candid use of social media. He said: "Dani has consistently used media platforms to share her narrative, from interviews to social media updates. "She has managed to stay relevant by engaging with her followers through candid posts and professional collaborations. "This approach is reminiscent of how Victoria Beckham transitioned from pop stardom to a respected fashion designer, using media to reframe her public image." The little girls were seen in adorable white dresses with bow detail on the back after they played an important role as flower girls during the ceremony. Their big brother Santi, who acted as a page boy with Jarrod's little brother, stood sandwiched between them in a white shirt and dark trousers. 6 6 6

Dear Richard Madeley: ‘Should we refuse to shell out any more on this wedding?'
Dear Richard We've got a big family wedding coming up, and between travel logistics, kids' exams and getting time off work, it has been a bit of a mission to arrange everything. It's also cost us a fortune, from train tickets to clothes. Now we have had an estimated bill from the bride's mother for accommodation, which we expected, but also a share of the rehearsal dinner and various 'extras' including local transport costs, which we didn't. (Our son, the groom's first cousin, is DJing at the evening do, unpaid, so the least we expected was for him to be let off some of these costs, which he hasn't been.) The total is creeping up to a point where we would have seriously considered sending our apologies had we known. My husband says we should just not pay, or pay a 'reasonable' sum, as one is supposed to be allowed to do after a disappointing meal at a restaurant. It's been a while since we've been involved with anything like this so we don't know the protocols, but as far as we knew the bride's parents were doing the heavy lifting, in the traditional way (as we expect to do with our two girls). To return to the restaurant analogy, we feel as though we have moved to that awkward situation where everyone pays for their own food and the evening dissolves into bickering about garlic bread. It's too late not to go, and we want to support our nephew, but we feel taken advantage of. Must we simply submit? — Anon, via email Dear Anon, This is definitely one of the trickier letters I've received for these pages. I had to read it several times before I could start to work out exactly what's at play here. Even then, I consulted my wife Judy (she's something of an expert on wedding etiquette) before forming this reply. One. It is, as you say, perfectly reasonable to ask you to pay for your own accommodation costs. Two. I would suggest that the same applies to the dinner following the wedding rehearsal. It's not as if you're being asked to contribute to the costs of the wedding reception on the day itself. The rehearsal – a recently imported concept from the US, and pretty daft and unnecessary if you ask me – is very much a voluntary occasion. I certainly wouldn't bother going to one. But if I did, and joined in the dinner afterwards, I would expect to pay for my meal, wine etc. Three. Local transport – by which I assume you mean some sort of coach to the wedding itself, on to the reception afterwards, and then back to your hotel… yes, this does seem a little 'tight' but perhaps the bride's parents are as concerned about costs as… well… YOU are. But if you remain uncomfortable about these demands, and given you say you're committed to attending the wedding, here's what I suggest. Make your own alternative arrangements. Book your own accommodation. By all means go to the 'rehearsal', but have dinner afterwards somewhere else on your own ticket. Order local taxis on the day to and from all the various locations. But I'm still a bit puzzled by your letter. Are there other, deeper issues at play here? Some problem in your relationship with the bride's mother? #justasking!

Bride-to-Be Shocked at How Much It Will Cost to Hire a Makeup Artist for Destination Wedding
A friend of a bride-to-be took to TikTok to share her friend's shock and disappointment in the price it cost to have a traveling makeup artist for her wedding The friend revealed that a makeup artist provided a quote over $125,000 for the service The friend expressed doubt that she might ever get married due to weddings being "outrageously expensive"One 2025 bride-to-be is putting her foot down when it comes to certain costs for her wedding. A friend of the bride-to-be shared how disappointed and shocked the bride was to learn it would cost over $125,000 to have a well-known makeup artist travel for her upcoming wedding. "I feel so bad for the girls and the fiancées who are 2025, 2026 brides. I'm feeling bad for the whole family at this point, because in today's day and time, every aspect of a wedding is so outrageously expensive," TikTok user Emily Landon said in a May 1 post to the platform. She added, "My friend reached out to a well-known makeup artist to see what the pricing will be."The TikToker then brought up a screenshot of the email that her friend received from the unnamed makeup artist with the breakdown of the fees in order to travel to the wedding, which appears to be in Sicily. The breakdown included a fee to reserve the dates of travel for the wedding, a separate fee for the wedding day makeup, reserved business class flights for the makeup artist and the assistant and more. While Landon noted that makeup artists are entitled to require fees and accommodations for their time, she said, "these makeup artists and other vendors and venues are charging not even a down payment for a house, you could buy the whole f------ house." "[The makeup artist's] typical rate starting out is $25,000 each travel day. Glam for the wedding day [is] $50,000," she explained.

I will not be getting married." Users in the comments agreed with Landon and were unable to understand why wedding day makeup would ever cost that amount of money. "I come from a wealthy community where some people pay a million dollars for a wedding and I've literally never heard of makeup costing more than $1,500????" one user shared, while another user added, "That price is actually them saying no without having to fight or be guilt tripped by brides who don't hear no very often."
