Nick Knowles and his new wife Katie Dadzie hit the dance floor! Pink-clad groom, 62, shows off his moves as his lingerie-boss wife, 34, ditches her floral wedding dress for daring mini
Nick Knowles and Katie Dadzie partied into the night after tying the knot on Saturday. The DIY SOS presenter, 62, cut a sharp figure in a dusky pink jacket after exchanging vows with his lingerie brand boss bride, 34, during a lavish six-figure wedding at Braxted Park, Essex. And the fun continued into the night, as Nick happily shared a video at the reception. Taking to his Instagram account in the early hours of Sunday morning, Nick reposted a video, showing him and Katie taking to the floor for their first dance. Katie wowed in her quirky floral print dress, which she wore for the ceremony, while jokingly shaking her head at her new husband's moves. Later, the bride changed into a second bold look - ditching her florals for a tiny white mini dress and glittering hat. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She ditched her heels for white trainers and completed the fun evening look with heart-shaped shades. Nck was delighted with his new wife's incredible ensemble, whipping off his pink suit jacket and flinging it around his head before twirling a laughing Katie around the dance floor. The couple pulled out all the stops for their guests with a live band providing the music whilst a carnival dancer bedecked in feathers took to the floor at one point. The couple began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre and got engaged in 2023. Katie confirmed the countdown was 'on' until their big day in an Instagram post last Friday, with the couple having been snapped running errands since as they prepared for the nuptials. The couple are said to have spared no expense on their special day, which was reportedly attended by a whole host of celebrity guests, including Nick's Strictly co-stars. Last month, Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations with her hen do at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum, where she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller. The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum. Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours. Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know its not true. She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true. 'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.' Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap. 'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy. 'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.' Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022. She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers.

Woman Wants to Rush Wedding Plans So Younger Sister Can't Get Married Before Her: 'It's My Right to Have That Moment First'
A woman shared on Reddit that she wants to rush her wedding plans after her younger sister expressed her intention to get engaged and marry soon "As the eldest daughter, I want to have my first dance with my dad before her. It just feels like it's my right to have that moment with him first," the Redditor argued After her sister refused her request to wait and let her get married first, the Redditor said she feels pushed to have her wedding "ASAP" A woman is in a race against her younger sister to get to the altar first. In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, the 26-year-old woman said that she and her boyfriend of 10 years got engaged last month and are planning their wedding — but suddenly her sister, 22, has put pressure on their timeline. According to the OP (original poster), her sister has been dating a man for six months and, while they are not engaged yet, they are talking about getting married soon. The OP is not happy about this, as she feels it's her "right" to be the first of the sisters to marry. "I would of course be overjoyed for her, but I really want to be married before them. I admit it's for a selfish reason," she wrote, explaining, "As the eldest daughter, I want to have my first dance with my dad before her. I'm a daddy's girl, always have been. It just feels like it's my right to have that moment with him first." Related: Bride Mad at Her Teen Sister for Taking Attention Away from Her on Her Wedding Day The OP went on to share that there are also other reasons why she doesn't want her sister to get married before her. "They haven't been together long, and I worry they are rushing it. She hasn't had the best relationships in the past, and my whole family is still unsure of the new guy. They both need to mature more, and I'm really worried for her," she explained. Justifying her decision to speak up to her sister about holding off on her wedding plans, the OP noted that she helped "take care of" her younger sister during their childhood while their parents were working and has "always been selfless" regarding her sibling. It seems the conversation did not go well. "After I worked up the courage and mentioned that I would like them to wait until we get married, I was jarred to get a scoff and a 'we aren't going to wait, so you guys need to hurry up if that's what you want,' " the OP recalled. "Now I feel rushed to plan my wedding and have it ASAP," she concluded her post, asking fellow Redditors, "AITA [am I the a------]?"

In the comments section, most readers shared the opinion that the OP was wrong to demand that her sister put her own plans on hold. "YTA [you're the a------]. She doesn't have to work around your timeline. She has her own," the top-voted comment read. "As you said, you want this for selfish reasons. I would express your concerns and say exactly what you said here, see if she'll compromise out of kindness and understanding, but don't be surprised if she doesn't. Some people move faster in relationships than others, and if you wanted to get married first that badly you could've done so years ago." Someone else bluntly said: "It's not your 'right' to have the first daddy-daughter dance. I don't know who you think you are even considering asking someone to wait until when/IF you get married. Your boyfriend waited 10 years to propose to you. That's a 'you' problem."

Going to tell your sister to dare not get pregnant before you, so that you can make sure your dad's first grandchild comes from you?" Yet another reader urged the OP to "let it go." "I think it was big of you to at least be honest and admit that the motivation behind not wanting your sister to get married first is mostly selfish," they wrote. "That being said, you're gonna need to let this go. Don't be that person who causes unnecessary family drama over what amounts to petty jealousy." Read the original article on People
