Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are facing rumors that their wedding ceremony was not legally binding. The couple, known for their appearances on Loose Women and EastEnders, respectively, shared their DIY wedding on social media in 2022. Their intimate ceremony took place at their home, Pickle Cottage, surrounded by loved ones, although the property was not authorized to host a legal wedding.
According to sources, Stacey and Joe’s busy schedules prevented them from formalizing their marriage at a registry office. The wedding was attended by notable figures such as Stacey’s Loose Women colleagues and former The Only Way Is Essex star, James Argent, who performed with his band.
The event was filled with personalized elements, including handmade decorations like a welcome sign and guest favors. Stacey, who even styled her own hair for the occasion, made sure to add personal touches to create a memorable day with family and friends.
The couple exchanged vows in the summer of 2022 at their historic residence, Pickle Cottage. Stacey shared details of her wedding preparations, including a change in her wedding ring from silver to gold to better match her preference for gold jewelry.
Stacey also revealed the garden transformation inspired by her Greek hen do, featuring a pergola adorned with pink flowers for a post-wedding family breakfast. She incorporated sentimental touches for her nine-month-old daughter, Rose, using fabric from her own wedding dress to create Rose’s attire.
Despite the lack of legal marriage registration at their home ceremony, Stacey clarified on Instagram that they planned to have a private blessing with family and friends and would legalize their marriage later.
Images from the wedding day showcased the outdoor setup with fairy lights and a picturesque backdrop of Stacey’s garden. The couple received furniture from Ikea for the event, which they intended to donate to charity afterward.
Stacey shared a heartfelt moment of Joe being emotional during the vows exchange, with her eldest son, Zachary, walking her down the aisle. Reflecting on the dress fitting experience, Stacey expressed her emotional connection to the day, emphasizing the importance of trust in creating their dream wedding.
