Venue – and touching reason behind choice
Tony previously opened up about his wedding venue, revealing his heartfelt choice of church honours people he knew who sadly died of HIV and AIDS in the ’80s and ’90s.
The DJ and Stavros will wed in a West London church, which Tony said cared for those who had died of AIDS when ‘no-one else would’. He explained: “There’s a church in Earl’s Court,” he explained. “When we died of AIDS, no one else would touch us because they didn’t want to bury us into the ground. We weren’t allowed to be buried.
“We had to be burned. This church was the only place that had love and compassion for our community. I want to get married there because, for me, it’s full circle. It’s for everybody that didn’t make it to that point.”
Gemma Collins and Kate Moss as bridesmaids
Having spun the decks all over the world at some of the glitziest clubs, Tony has amassed a legion of loyal fans, many of whom are celebrities.
Counting Gemma Collins, Kate Moss and Brookside star, Claire Sweeney, among his gal pals, Tony has reportedly chosen the trio to be his bridesmaids.
A source close to the couple told The Sun: “Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars. No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It’s going to be incredible to see them lining up together.”
Boy George as best man
Tony revealed that Karma Chameleon star, Boy George, will be his best man when he ties the knot today.
Boy George once referred to his pal as the “the pied piper” of the late ’80s and early ’90s rave scene when they were both big hitters in the London club scene.
Explaining he’d given his best pal the honour of being his best man, Tony teased while chatting to Chatting to comedians James Barr and Dan Hudson on the A Gay and A Nongay podcast: “My best man is Boy George. I asked him the other day because he’s one of my oldest friends in life and he’s been through so much with me, and he’s a complete c***.“
Bespoke designer suits
With access to some of the world’s most in-demand fashion designers, it’s no surprise Tony and Stavros will be wearing bespoke suits from an iconic French fashion house.
