January 26th 2025.
After being together for over 20 years, Kirstie Allsopp and Ben Andersen have finally tied the knot. The couple had a small and intimate wedding ceremony at the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, the same location where Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor's characters exchanged their vows in Love Actually. Only around 70 of their closest friends and family members were in attendance, with Channel 4 co-star Phil Spencer unfortunately unable to make it due to the last-minute invite.
The wedding was so secretive that even their guests were unaware that they were attending a wedding until just three days before the big day. They had initially thought they were coming to celebrate Ben's 64th birthday, as the couple had already planned a big party for the occasion. But as it turned out, it was a double celebration as Kirstie and Ben exchanged their vows in front of their loved ones.
The ceremony itself was described as "lowkey and elegant" and lasted for 40 minutes. It included special touches such as The Beatles' hit "All You Need Is Love" and the hymn "I Vow To Thee, My Country". The venue, Grosvenor Chapel, also held a special significance for Kirstie as it was where her father's funeral was held last year.
In the past, Kirstie had been vocal about her stance on marriage, saying that she enjoyed being a "middle-aged girlfriend" and had no desire to become a wife. However, it seems that she had a change of heart as she and Ben finally decided to tie the knot. In a column for the Daily Mail, Kirstie wrote that she never understood why people questioned her decision not to get married, as she believed that everyone should be able to make their own choices.
The couple first met at a party in 2004 and have two sons together, Bay and Oscar, aged 18 and 16 respectively. Kirstie is also a stepmother to Ben's sons from his previous marriage. Despite being happily unmarried for so many years, Kirstie and Ben have finally taken the plunge and exchanged their vows in a beautiful and intimate ceremony.
