Roxy Horner shared a first glimpse of her wedding day with Jack Whitehall, capturing the excitement as the couple exchanged vows in a lavish £250,000 ceremony at Euridge Manor in Wiltshire. The model posed elegantly in white satin pyjamas in a photo posted by her sister Yasmin, captioned ‘Going to the chapel.’
Stunning Venue and Romantic Ceremony
The 17th-century estate spans 450 acres, featuring a boating lake, orangery, helicopter pad, wisteria-draped pergola, and grand ballroom. Owned by Jigsaw fashion brand founder John Robinson, the venue emphasizes discretion, architectural charm, and seclusion, available only for exclusive use.
Insiders reveal that Whitehall rowed across the lake to reach his bride, a heartfelt gesture that brought tears to many guests’ eyes. Earlier, he arrived carrying what appeared to be his groom’s speech.
Star-Studded Guests and Black-Tie Elegance
High-profile attendees included James Corden, Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff, and David Gardner, a close friend of David Beckham. All dressed in black tie, with Whitehall in a classic suit, floral buttonhole, and Christian Louboutin shoes.
Horner, who shares two-year-old daughter Elsie with Whitehall, wore one gown for the ceremony and changed into another for the afterparty. She had final fittings at Mayfair’s Galia Lahav boutique, where she twirled in an ivory strapless silk dress and adjusted her veil, visibly moved.
The bridal party donned champagne peach ankle-length gowns, featuring Whitehall’s sister Molly, models Sophie Longford and Milly Slinger. Elsie served as flower girl.
Tight Security and Pre-Wedding Moments
Security remained stringent, with guests required to silence phones during the ceremony and refrain from social media posts. Arriving cars featured blacked-out windows, and guards patrolled the entrance.
The day before, preparations intensified as Horner and Whitehall shared a goodbye kiss outside their home. Her wedding dress was carefully transported to a car while they held hands.
Family Dynamics and Groom’s Nerves
A close friend noted Whitehall’s anxiety over his speech, stating, ‘Forget the nerves from hosting the BRIT Awards; this feels far more intense. He’s thrilled but knows it’s a monumental moment. Despite emceeing major shows like Saturday Night Live last week, the groom’s speech proves more daunting.’
This marked the first full family gathering between Whitehall’s relatives and Horner’s. Whitehall previously described the contrast on The Jonathan Ross Show: ‘My family are gilet-wearing chinless toffs, and hers are proper Cockney West Ham fans, salt of the earth. It’s their first meeting.’
Guests stayed at a nearby five-star hotel, while the couple and families remained on-site. The afternoon ceremony led into evening festivities with a live band and dancing. Barney Whitehall served as best man, with Elsie as flower girl in this family-focused event.
Whitehall anticipated his brother’s best man speech, saying, ‘I delivered a savage one at his wedding with some low blows he didn’t appreciate. Now he gets revenge, and I’m bracing myself.’
Hen Party Festivities
Two weeks prior, Horner celebrated her hen do in London, joined by Whitehall’s mother Hilary. The group dined at a premier restaurant, took a private dance lesson from a Strictly Come Dancing star, and enjoyed a Magic Mike-style lap dance.
Hilary recounted a dress code mix-up caused by her son: ‘When I asked Jack weeks ago, he gave the wrong info. I bought the wrong dress, but the invitation corrected it. He apologized, saying, “Sorry about that, Mumsy.”‘ On the day, she shone in a red sequinned halterneck gown fitting the ‘fizz and frolics’ theme.
