Gordon Ramsay is still replaying the moment he watched his oldest daughter Holly walk down the aisle. The celebrity chef, 59, and his youngest daughter Tilly, 24, appeared on This Morning Monday, Jan. 5, to share behind-the-scenes details of the Dec. 27 ceremony.
Ceremony Highlights
The couple exchanged vows at the historic Bath Abbey after getting engaged in September 2024. Tilly said watching Holly and Adam pledge their lives together “was so emotional, you know, to see her and Adam so happy.” She emphasized it was “a big day for all of us.”
Father-of-the-Bride Jitters
Gordon admitted he obsessed over his speech. “Being a dad with three daughters, you dream of that moment. That moment arrives, and you’re just like a hot mess,” he confessed. Tilly spent Christmas Eve rehearsing the speech with him for roughly an hour while he repeatedly reviewed the words.
Tilly confirmed:
> “It was perfect. It made everybody cry.”
A Sentimental Surprise
Holly honored family tradition by wearing Tana Ramsay’s wedding dress, a choice that caught Gordon off guard. She changed outfits multiple times during the celebration, prompting Gordon to joke, “I don’t know why you need to change three times.”
In a British Vogue report on Jan. 2, Holly explained the sentimental layer the dress added to her father-daughter dance: “The last time Dad saw this dress was when he danced with my mom at their wedding.”
Post-Wedding Reactions
Any mention of the wedding brings Gordon to tears. Holly told British Vogue:
> “Dad cries every time I talk about the wedding.”
She described a recent moment asking about transportation to the church: “The other day I was asking him which car he and I would take to the church, and he welled up immediately.”
