A guest at Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty’s lavish wedding described their engagement and said the couple was unprepared for the unexpected.
The wedding ceremony between Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty involved “like a hospital appointment,” with tight security forcing attendees to wear wristbands.
The happy couple tied the knot on Saturday, with the beaming newlyweds emerging hand-in-hand from Bath Abbey following one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings in recent years. Large crowds gathered for the post-Christmas service, with many guests including Adam himself having to be escorted into the historic building by burly guards.
The swarm of well-wishers arrived at the Somerset location with a smile on their faces. They included Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, the daughters of Sir David Beckham and his wife, Lady Victoria. Brooklyn Beckham, a long-time friend of Holly, was not to be seen as he persisted in the chaos of his own family.
But with a star-studded guest list which also included presenter Dan Walker and Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies, Holly and Adam clearly wanted to take no chances. Organisers insisted all invitees wore wristbands embossed with H&A, according to The Sun, with one guest saying: “It was a lovely day, but with the wristband it felt more like a hospital appointment.”
They wanted nothing to go wrong and that was evident and when bodyguards formed a protective cordon around the Ramsays, a skirmish is said to have erupted in a confined passageway beside the venue. A source told Hello! Magazine that the situation “descended into chaos”.
Not just the issue, either. Holly’s parents, Caroline and Mark Peaty, kept their distance when Holly arrived almost 30 minutes late, and she wore her Christmas-themed dress. After a bitter disagreement with their son over a number of controversies surrounding the nuptials, they were expected to be absent from the wedding.
Tensions are thought to have escalated after Adam’s mum was not invited to Holly’s hen party. Caroline, 60, last night spoke out ahead of the wedding, telling the Mail: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.
My family is broken; this is my first Christmas without them. Yes, I do have a third grandchild. Yes, I have my other kids, but my family is split due to the events surrounding the wedding.
Guests were served a wedding banquet which featured prawn cocktail, beef Wellington and pan-roasted halibut followed by a tarte tatin. A tradition wedding cake was served at 8pm, MailOnline reports.
A body language expert praised Holly’s appearance and claimed she looked to be in “full control” of her big day. Judi James told the Mirror: “Holly looked very much like the confident and radiantly happy bride, fully in control of her image as she walked into church with dad Gordon.
“Her dress was skillfully concealed beneath a silk cloak that she kept pulled in front of her torso to prevent any design leaks.” Her smile was very A-list and had her head raised to share her happiness, though it was partially aimed at the ground.
The Peaty family conflict dates back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly disregarded wider Peaty family members by refusing to let them attend their engagement party. Even though the bride’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and friends including Victoria Beckham were present, Caroline was not invited to Holly’s glamorous hen do last month at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
Caroline gave her son’s 31st birthday on Saturday, the day before his wedding, a card and gift. This weekend, Adam’s aunt Louise reportedly exchanged harsh words with his mother about the family feud. Moments before the wedding, she sent him a text message outlining her thoughts.
