Model Holly Ramsay, daughter of famed chef Gordon Ramsay, has married Olympic champion Adam Peaty in a lavish ceremony at the historic Bath Abbey. The Saturday wedding was attended by a host of famous faces but was also overshadowed by a reported family rift that left the groom's parents absent from the celebrations.
A Proud Father and a Veiled Arrival
Gordon Ramsay expressed his immense pride as he escorted his 25-year-old daughter down the aisle. The celebrity chef, 59, shared on Instagram that he felt "truly so lucky" to walk the "beautiful bride" and gain an "incredible son in law". Holly made a dramatic entrance, keeping her wedding dress a secret beneath a full-length white cloak as she arrived hand-in-hand with her father. Onlookers could only see hints of lace, a scalloped skirt, and a long train. She completed her look with a dewy makeup style, an elegant up-do, and a traditional veil.
Celebrity Guests and a Notable Absence
The guest list read like a who's who of British celebrity. Sir David Beckham and his wife Victoria, along with their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, were in attendance. Other notable figures included chef Marcus Wareing and entrepreneur Sara Davies. Holly's sisters, Tilly and Megan, served as bridesmaids in floor-length red satin gowns, while mother Tana Ramsay wore bottle green.
However, the occasion was marked by a significant omission. Adam Peaty's mother, Caroline, and father, Mark, were not present. In an interview with the Daily Mail ahead of the wedding, Caroline Peaty spoke emotionally about a family fallout, reportedly triggered after she was not invited to Holly's hen do. She described her heartbreak, stating it was the first Christmas without her family together, but added she wanted the couple to "have the best day."
The Groom, the Meeting, and the Future
Groom Adam Peaty, who turns 31 on Sunday, arrived at the abbey in a classic tuxedo. The Staffordshire-born swimmer, a six-time Olympic medalist, reportedly met Holly through her sister Tilly when both were contestants on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. The couple announced their engagement in September 2024, with Holly calling Peaty her "best friend". On the morning of the wedding, Peaty posted a serene sunrise photo to his Instagram story captioned, "Morning of our wedding."
The ceremony took place at the stunning Bath Abbey, where foliage adorned the historic West Front door for the occasion. As the newlyweds begin their life together, the day will be remembered for its blend of glamour, family joy, and underlying personal tension.
