Bear Grylls' nephew ties the knot with travel consultant wife at his 10-bedroom Yorkshire mansion with some very well-heeled guests in attendance
Bear Grylls ' nephew tied the knot to his wife in a lavish ceremony set at his family seat in Yorkshire over the weekend. Mungo Fawcett, the elder son of Lara and James Fawcett, married travel consultant Alice Bowers, the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Bowers of Bangkok, Thailand. While the newlyweds both maintain a low profile on social media, well-heeled guests shared a glimpse into the glamorous festivities, including Lady Eliza Manners, 28. The nuptials took place at James and Lara's stunning 10-bedroom home, located just outside of Leeds, where Mungo grew up alongside his younger siblings, Bevan and Tallulah. For the special day, the bride put on a stunning display in a white, satin corset dress, featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline, and a long, net veil. She added a pair of white satin jewel buckle heels from Manolo Blahnik, which retail at £1,050. Alice opted to hold a colourful bouquet of flowers down the aisle, with the bunch featuring pink, white, and yellow flowers. Meanwhile, Mungo, whose mother is adventurer Bear's sister, looked dapper in a three-piece suit, including a white shirt, blue waistcoat, and black tailcoat. Following the ceremony, crowds gathered outside to throw flower petals towards the happy couple after they said 'I do'. In one sweet moment, the groomsmen lifted Alice as they posed for photographs to mark the occasion. The party got started in a marquee outside, with the happy couple entering hand in hand as guests waved their napkins and danced. The recent heatwave failed to last as long as Mungo and Alice's wedding, and guests gripped onto their umbrellas while travelling from locations within the Yorkshire estate. But the downpour didn't dampen attendees spirits, and later on, two jolly guests embraced the wet weather and took a dip in a fountain. Guests also no doubt enjoyed a slice of the two-tiered white wedding cake, which included flowers and small cherub statues made from icing. Lara and James' mansion is so lavish that it received high praise in a 2017 Tatler article, with journalist Sophia Money-Coutts writing that the house is 'dead posh' and comes with 'four dogs, an Aga and photos of dead things'. The couple purchased the home, originally built by the Archbishop of York's son, William Markham, in 2011. At the time of purchase, the home was derelict, having been abandoned and passed down through various developers. James and Lara made it their mission to transform the drab house into a loving family home, and two years later, following months of planning and battles with the council, they managed to do so. They aimed to restore the home back to its format in 1790, and removed 6,000 tons of debris in the process, Tatler reported. Now, the home is packed with traditional features in bright and bold colours, including the original stained glass over the front door, which features the Markham family motto, Mitis et Audax, or 'gentle and courageous'. After spending two years restoring the home, the couple decked it out in furniture from clients of Lara's PR company, including Nina Campbell, Neptune, and John Lewis. The home includes several drawing rooms, a dining room, a snooker room, offices, and a blue kitchen, which Tatler dubbed 'the warm nucleus of the house'. Socialite Eliza Manners, who appears to have gone to the same university as the bride, Newcastle University, shared a series of images from the event on Instagram. Eliza captured guests, dressed to the nines in summer frocks, enjoying free flowing champagne while standing outside the marquee. It comes after Eliza's sister, Lady Violet Manners, celebrated her marriage to William James Lindesay-Bethune, also known as Viscount Garnock, in one of high society's biggest weddings of 2025. Last month, the happy couple were wed in a traditional church service before a lavish party at the Manners family's 15,000-acre ancestral pile in Leicestershire. Lady Violet, 31, said 'I do' with Viscount Garnock, 33, in a service that brings together two of Britain's most prominent aristocratic families together. Ahead of the ceremony, the eldest daughter of The Duke and Duchess of Rutland, David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland, and Emma Manners, had announced her engagement to colourful Scottish aristocrat William last summer in a post that read 'I said 'yes' to my Caledonian Cowboy'. William is the son and heir of the 16th Earl of Lindsay, and is based both in Scotland and Texas in the U.S. He is also co-founder of a low and no alcohol spirits brand. In bright sunshine, the couple were wed at St Mary The Virgin Church in Bottesford with the bride looking resplendent in a Phillipa Lepley couture gown. Lady Violet wore a family heirloom for her big day, donning the diamond Rutland tiara, which has been part of her lineage for more than 300 years, and hasn't been worn at a public occasion since the late '90s. The 31-year-old bride wore her brunette hair pinned back, with a flowing veil behind the tiara. The family diadem has carnation and fuschias, with diamond leaves - the last member of the family to wear it was Lady Theresa Manners on her wedding day in 1997 to Dr John Chipman. Lady Violet's bridal gown had puffed sleeves, and a delicate sheer panel under her ruffled neckline which was embroidered with symbols, including stars and love hearts. Meanwhile, the groom was attired in a kilt made from the red and green Lindsay family tartan, which he wore with a traditional sporran and a pale grey suit with a green and blue pattered tie. He arrived at the church in true, characterful style, disembarking with family and friends from vintage red double decker Routemaster bus as he awaited his bride. Acknowledging the groom's Scottish heritage, a piper played the bride into the church. Lady Violet arrived in a closed carriage, meanwhile, with her bridesmaids riding alongside her. The bridesmaids' stylish sartorial choices tipped a hat to the bride's Christian name by wearing a pretty shade of violet. They wore their hair tied back and adorned with flowers that co-ordinated with their dresses. Amongst the bridesmaids were Lady Violet's sisters, Eliza and Alice, alongside Lady Violet's close friend Devisha Kumari Singh. Flower girls and page boys, who were dressed in light green satin knickerbockers, made up the rest of the bridal party. The newlyweds were seen waving at guests and well-wishers as they made their way as man and wife from St Mary The Virgin Church back to Belvoir Castle. Their respective sets of parents, the Duke and Duchess of Rutland and the Earl and Countess of Lindsay, James and Diana Lindesay-Bethune, looked overjoyed as they waved them off. The two couples clearly have a solid friendship, with Diana Lindesay-Bethune, Countess of Lindsay and mother-of-the-groom, and father-of-the-bride David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, striding in to the church ceremony together. Mother-of-the-bride Emma Manners, the Duchess of Rutland, 61, who is battling breast cancer after a shock diagnosis in the spring, looked elegant in a jacquard coat and dress in a shade of light pink, and a statement tilted hat. She enjoyed a warm hug with one of Lady Violet's flower girls as the wedding party emerged from the church. The cream of high society made up the guests at the stately home nuptials, with Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, Lady Sabrina Percy and Princess Alexandra's granddaughter Flora Vesterberg, all in attendance. The 11th Duke of Rutland's ancestors have resided for almost 1,000 years at Belvoir Castle so it was unlikely the couple would have deviated from the 360-room estate. The historic property was used as Windsor Castle in Netflix series The Crown.

Charli XCX marries The 1975 drummer George Daniel after three years together
Pop icon Charli XCX has tied the knot with The 1975 drummer George Daniel in an intimate ceremony after three years together. The nuptials were held in London yesterday with all of Daniel's bandmates in attendance, except lead singer Matty Healy, according to a photo agency. Page Six reached out to Healy's representative for comment. 'Matty flew directly from the stag celebrations in Ibiza yesterday, to be with his fiancee, Gabbriette (Bechtel) last night in LA where has contractual commitments for her debut move,' a source told Page Six. Video from the wedding shared on X showed the happy couple as they posed for photos with their family outside of Hackney Town Hall. Only about 20 close friends and loved ones were reportedly present. Photographers revealed the wedding was so low-key that they were even seen walking to the venue. In true Charli fashion, footage posted to social media shows the couple smoking a cigarette in their wedding attire behind a large black van. Charli (whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison) wore a strapless Vivianne Westwood ivory wedding gown and held a bouquet of white flowers in one hand as she placed her other arm around Daniel. Her new husband stood tall next to her in a black suit and white boutonniere. Reps for the stars did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. The 'Girl, so confusing' hit maker, 32, was first romantically linked with Daniel in March 2022 after they were spotted out together in New York City holding hands. At the time, Daniel was said to have been supporting the singer as she made her Saturday Night Live performance debut. Months later, in June, photos obtained exclusively by Page Six showed the pair getting hot and steamy while on their Italian vacation. Prior to their romance, they worked together as musical collaborators. In November 2023, Charli announced she and Daniel, 35, were engaged on Instagram, sharing a slide show of images featuring the lovebirds kissing and one of a diamond ring in a box. 'Charli XCX and George Daniel f**king for life!!!' she captioned the post. Charli's record label, Atlantic Records, confirmed the engagement news on X, tweeting, 'Major congratulations to @charli_xcx and George Daniel on their engagement.' The pop star later posted footage from behind-the-scenes of their wedding showing her bridal party dancing to cult noughties song 'Like A G6' by Far East Movement. The Empire State Building's social media account commented: 'The royal wedding,' while Amazon Music wrote: 'Hey Charli queen … so … where's my invitation?'

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding plans revealed — and how they'll ‘accommodate' Taylor Swift
Plans about Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's alleged wedding have been revealed. The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress and the music producer will exchange vows in a star-studded ceremony this September in California, according to the Daily Mail. 'Selena and Benny's wedding is going to be a two-day event in Montecito in September,' a source told the outlet. The nuptials will reportedly only be attended by the couple's close friends and family and invitations have already been mailed — including to Gomez's longtime pal Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce. 'Everyone invited has been asked to bring overnight bags to stay for the weekend,' the insider told the Daily Mail. 'Although it's for friends and family only, many on the friends list are huge celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Selena's co-stars from 'Only Murders In The Building,' and music superstars who are Benny's friends and some he's also worked with.' A second source told the outlet that a late summer wedding was 'ideal' for the 'Calm Down' singer, 32, and Blanco, 37, because the former's schedule will get busy this fall and winter. 'Selena loves being engaged but she has been dreaming of being married forever,' the second insider told the Daily Mail. 'At the end of the year, it gets busy, not only for them, but also for everyone they want to attend.' The pair has reportedly had trouble working around the 'Bad Blood' singer's demanding schedule. However, a third source told Daily Mail: 'Selena is not having her wedding to accommodate Taylor, but she wants her to attend and she would love for her to be able to go with Travis.' Page Six has reached out to reps for both Gomez and Blanco but did not immediately hear back. The Rare Beauty founder and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024 after dating for over a year. Earlier this month, the 'Diamonds' producer shared that his and Gomez's nuptials would be 'chill' but 'amazing.'

Mystery over 'lost' Lauren Sanchez wedding outfit: One of Mrs Bezos' 27 nuptial dresses has vanished following $20million wedding - amid denials it was stolen by an 'elegantly dressed party crasher'
One of Lauren Sanchez 's 27 nuptial dresses has vanished following her $20million wedding to Jeff Bezos. The dress has been missing since the ceremony and initial reports in the Italian press claimed it had been stolen by an 'elegantly dressed party crasher.' However, that is now not believed to be true and no police reports have been filed. It's not known which of the designer gowns has gone missing, but it's not the lacy white turtleneck Dolce & Gabbana gown Lauren, 55, wore to marry the Amazon founder, 61, in Venice, Italy, on Friday. The billionaire couple tied the knot on San Giorgio Maggiore island in front of a dazzling array of star-studded guests. The bride, took to Instagram moments after saying 'I do' to share a snap of herself and Jeff together, which she captioned with the date. Lauren showed off her stunning wedding dress in the image, which contained lacy, floral sleeves, a tight bodice, high neckline, long flowing skirt with an enormous train, and buttons down the front. She also posed in the exquisite wedding dress for a pre-wedding photoshoot with Vogue magazine. While chatting with the publication, she recalled feeling like a 'princess' during her dress fitting, which took place in Milan, Italy. 'It was more powerful than I thought,' she added of the moment she put it on for the first time. She also revealed that Jeff had begged to see her in the gown, but as is tradition for most brides, she explained that she wasn't going to let him lay his eyes upon it until the big day. 'I almost gave in,' she admitted. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.' Just an hour later, she followed up with some behind-the-scenes snaps of her wedding gown taken by Nicolas Geradin. In a carousel post, the former journalist was seen standing inside a decadent room in Venice, wearing the high-neck lace dress and showing off its dramatic silhouette. The second photo, a black and white image, showed Lauren and her team helping her get into the gown, while the third image featured designer Domenico Dolce placing the lace veil on her head. She tagged the team behind her look, which included Rick Henry, Laura Mele, Iram Shelton and Jamie Mizrahi. 'Not just a gown, a piece of poetry,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made.' Lauren later dazzled in a head pleated rose pink Atelier Versace gown designed by Donatella Versace herself for her final wedding party. The show-stopping ballgown was made of silk chiffon and had a bodice which was hand embroidered with an array of rose gold, bronze, and gold Swarovski crystals. The former journalist paired this look with a black jewel-encrusted clutch bag which read: 'Mrs. Bezos' with clear diamonds as she showed off her new status to the world.
