Jack Whitehall and Roxy Horner Tie the Knot in £250,000 Extravaganza
Comedian Jack Whitehall and model Roxy Horner have officially married today in a lavish ceremony costing an estimated £250,000. The event took place at the exclusive Euridge Manor in Wiltshire, a stunning 17th-century venue sprawling across 450 acres. This luxurious location boasts features such as a boating lake, an orangery, a helicopter pad, a wisteria-draped pergola, and a grand ballroom, offering a secluded and discreet setting for the high-profile nuptials.
VIP Guests and Elegant Attire
Among the distinguished attendees were VIP guests including James Corden and Jamie Redknapp, who adhered to the black-tie theme of the wedding. Jack Whitehall himself was spotted in a sharp tuxedo paired with Christian Louboutin shoes, while Roxy Horner, with whom Jack shares a daughter named Elsie, planned to wear one dress for the ceremony and another for the afterparty. She had her final fittings at the prestigious Galia Lahav bridal boutique in Mayfair, where she was seen twirling in elegant ivory silk gowns and even wiping away a tear during her veil fitting.
Family Dynamics and Groom's Nerves
Despite his experience hosting major events like the BRIT Awards and Saturday Night Live, sources reveal that Jack Whitehall was exceptionally nervous about his groom's speech. A friend commented, "Forget the nerves that came with hosting the BRIT Awards, this is so much more tense. He's so very excited and has been looking forward to the day but it's a big moment." This wedding also marks the first time Jack's family, whom he humorously described as "gilet-wearing chinless toffs," meets Roxy's family, characterized as "proper Cockney, all West Ham fans, proper salt of the earth." Jack previously likened the event to "Downton Abbey meets EastEnders," highlighting the blend of aristocratic and working-class backgrounds.
Best Man Speech and Preparations
Jack's brother, Barney Whitehall, served as best man, with the couple's daughter Elsie taking on the role of flower girl. Jack hinted that Barney is poised to deliver a revenge-filled speech after Jack's own "savage" remarks at his sibling's wedding. Jack admitted, "I gave quite a savage speech at his wedding. There were a few low blows he wasn't too appreciative of. He's going to have his opportunity to get his revenge on the big day. I'm bracing myself for that." Preparations were in full swing, with the couple seen kissing goodbye and their wedding dress being transported to the venue earlier in the week.
Celebrations and Minor Mishaps
Prior to the wedding, Roxy kicked off her celebrations with a hen do in London, which included dining at a top hotspot, a private dance lesson from a Strictly star, and a lap dance from a Magic Mike stripper. Jack's mother, Hilary, also attended but faced a minor drama when Jack gave her the wrong dress code, forcing her to hunt for a new dress just weeks before the event. She recounted, "When I asked Jack what the dress code was several weeks ago... he gave me the wrong dress code. I got the wrong dress, [then] the wedding invitation arrived with a completely different dress code on it." Guests stayed at a nearby five-star hotel, while the newlyweds remained on-site with their families, enjoying an afternoon ceremony followed by an evening of music and dancing.
