Following the nuptials the party then made the short walk to Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square) where dinner was served under the giant umbrella-shaped canopy of a century old Weeping Fig tree. Finishing touches were seen being made this morning ahead of the pair’s arrival. Fresh flowers were seen delicately being arranged, name cards placed on the table and the glasses and cutlery were neatly set for the guests. The couple – who welcomed baby Barney in June 2024 and got engaged in July 2025 – originally wed at a romantic church service before a party in the garden of their Bedfordshire mansion where guests were treated to a McDonald’s from a personalised van parked outside. Writing on Instagram after downing champagne, a thrilled Emily joked: “Christ, we have fun don’t we. I can’t believe we get to do all that again in a few weeks time.” The party moved to Mojácar in the Costa Almería, a sentimental spot where the TV fave spent childhood holidays at her musician dad Keith’s old summer pad. The town’s iconic Mirador viewpoint and two top eateries are being completely shut down for the exclusive star-studded bash. Emily told the Telegraph in a 2020: “I loved my family holidays in Mojacar, in Andalucia, when I was growing up. “We had a property there and my dad sold it a couple of years ago, but it’s our favourite place on Earth and we still go there every single year and stay in a hotel.” The Inbetweeners star said earlier this year that her second wedding would be a “fat, f***-off party”. She said to Luxury London Magazine: “I think I’ve nailed it. We’re getting married in September. I’ve very much enjoyed the planning process.” Comment now
