This past weekend, Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen finally said “I do” in a beautiful, low-key ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family.
The 28-year-old TV personality looked stunning in an elegant off-the-shoulder wedding dress as she married the West Ham captain, who is also 28.
A Special Moment With Dad Danny Dyer
Just days before the big day, Dani opened up about the meaningful role her dad, EastEnders star Danny Dyer, would play as he walked her down the aisle.
On their podcast, Live and Let Dyers, Dani shared how she was keeping her wedding dress a secret from her dad to honor a special tradition.
She explained, “Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress? It’s such a lovely moment.
Your dad’s not meant to see it before – it’s a moment just for him.”
It’s clear this walk down the aisle was going to be an emotional highlight of the day.
Wedding Prep and Name Change Plans
In the lead-up to the wedding, Dani admitted the toughest part was the table planning.
Speaking to Heat magazine, she said, “I’ve finally done my table plans.
Writing out names and making sure there are tables of ten was so stressful – definitely the part I didn’t enjoy.”
She also revealed that after marrying Jarrod, she plans to take on a double-barrelled surname, becoming Dani Dyer-Bowen.
“I want to keep the Dyer because of my work,” she explained.
“If I became Dani Bowen, I’d feel like I was losing something. So, we’re going double-barrel.”
Fun and Festivities Before the Big Day
Dani’s recent months have been full of excitement and celebration, including two lavish hen parties.
One of the highlights was a wild hen night in Ibiza with close friends, featuring a boozy brunch, a boat trip along the coast, and a night at the glamorous Ushuaia nightclub.
A source told The Sun that Dani didn’t hold back on spending, with a VIP night at Ushuaia costing at least £8,000.
The celebrations also included a lively brunch at Beso Beach where her friends humorously wore Jarrod masks and sang ABBA songs.
Their last night was spent at another hotspot, Hï Ibiza, where they had a VIP booth, leaving some guests nursing sore heads after flying back home.
Jarrod Bowen’s Stag Do in Las Vegas
While Dani enjoyed her hen celebrations, Jarrod headed to Las Vegas for his stag do as the couple prepared to begin married life.
The footballer’s celebration was just as exciting, marking the final days before tying the knot with the Love Island star.
Looking Ahead to Married Life
With the wedding now behind them, Dani and Jarrod are stepping into their new chapter surrounded by loved ones and plenty of memories from their joyful celebrations.
Between Dani’s heartfelt moments with her dad and the lively parties with friends, it’s been a wedding journey filled with emotion, fun, and family.
