Why is Holly Ramsay covered with a tablecloth?

Oh the arrogance of I’ve got TO KEEP MY DRESS from hoi polloi

They apparently paid extra cash to have it shut off from the public even after they left - that screams entitled to me

Bless you @BellaVita .
I know a close friend who worked with GR, was in one of his London kitchens. Said he was a firm but fair boss, who gave 100% and expected 100% back. He said he learned so much from him. My friend is now a top chef, he says he owes it all to GR. Most of all he said GR was a family man, and was understanding and very compassionate when my friend was going through an unexpected family bereavement. I have always got the impression that he is a lovely guy too.

Or maybe she will look back and regret whatever she said to make it so she was not longer invited to his wedding.

Though really the person who caused the biggest fallout was the sister who posted it all publicly again calling out Holly rather than her own nephew. Then mummy peaty started posting and selling stories.

Maybe she wanted a church wedding? You can't have that in a huge country house as they are not licensed for that. There are about 3 venues in the south of England that have a parish church in the same place (we just booked one of them and there was only 1 date left in 2027!).

Again - I'm on Caroline's side over this - and not going to argue about it

The only reason I've heard about this wedding is because of the fallout with Adam and his mother.

Or you can go to a service once a month for 6 months - easily done - we had to do it as my parents had moved out of the parish where we wanted to be married. And if you're "famous" (I for one must admit I wouldn't have known who either of them was), if you turn up in jeans and plain top pretty much no-one would have known who they were.

That’s so nice to read and confirms what I have always thought about GR ❤️

I popped into Bath this afternoon, and walked past the Abbey, there was a stunning flower arch over the main door which was being dismantled and they were giving bouquets from the flowers out to passers-by, which I thought was a nice thing to do.

Not sure he’s much of a family man, he has an unusual arrest record/behaviour in public toilets for that. Maybe he’s a changed man I guess. But good to hear he’s a nice boss.

is your DS actually commenting on being happy he’s not in Bath town centre today as it’s so busy? Is he my Great Aunt Deirdre? I simply can’t imagine my uni age kids spending even a moments thought on this.

He was arrested for assault apparently. The indecency claims are apparently unsubstantiated

He was with mates after a drunken night out. There was some "high jinks" in a public toilet in Green Park (I think).

Because they would sell their soul for money. Can’t buy class.

Did she sacrifice for him though, or for the kudos of having an Olympian for a son? Someone being a good stage parent isn’t the same thing as being a good parent.

Caroline Peaty is one that’s going out of her way to make a public drama over this, along with the brother who was arrested for sending death threats. She’s throwing a pity party for herself via the daily mail and bleating about wanting reconciliation, yet at the same time she’s running to the tabloids and flying flags half mast in an attempt to overshadow the wedding. It’s twattish behavior, and it’s entirely understandable that he’s cut her off.

I know! What uni lad even notices how busy town centres are?! 😀

I'd edge my bets that girl is hard work

You don't know they're going to turn out to be Olympians when you have to take them to the pool at 5am at aged ten, of course she did it to give him an opportunity as most parents would. But that doesn't mean he owes her anything in return. He could however treat her with respect and it doesn't look like there's been much of that here.

Family man? He had a seven year affair.

I think Peaty is insufferable and he obviously hurt his ex Eri a lot. He's found his level with the Ramsays as far as I'm aware.

I know her, we had some overlap a few years ago. We never “clicked” - she’s not my kind of person and I’m not hers - but equally, I have nothing bad to say about her. She was always sweet, polite, and down to earth, maybe even a bit shy/withdrawn (although that obviously could have changed since then). Quite a few posters accusing her of being attention seeking etc. but I honestly never got that feeling from her, either in person or by reputation. She looks genuinely happy in the photos - as she should be on her wedding day - and that’s all that should matter. At the end of the day she’s just a person like the rest of us, and I think a lot of posters would do well to remember that.

I know lots of people who went to see them going in and several people who were working in some way (I know people who work there) it was quite an event apparently

She looked quite nervous by accounts in the paper rather than some stuck up arrogant type brimming with confidence.

I doubt either of them thought their wedding itself would become such a circus of paps and people. Without public feuds and such.

He should have been the one helping his little one get sorted though rather than letting everyone else from a tiktok video I’ve seen shared.

That doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing it for herself. Talent and potential is evident from early on, and he was put on that particular track.

What she’s choosing to do now doesn’t deserve respect.

I thought it all looked very sad, if they want privacy with all their money go somewhere private and she can arrive in her dress and let everyone see it. This isn’t what marriage is about surely?
