Nick Knowles and Katie Dadzie recently gave us an exclusive peek into their spectacular wedding weekend, sharing joyful moments on social media as they celebrated tying the knot.
The DIY SOS presenter, 62, and Katie, 34, who runs a successful lingerie brand, hosted a lavish ceremony at Braxted Park in Essex, reportedly costing six figures.
Stunning Style and Playful Vibes
Nick looked sharp and stylish in a dusky pink jacket, while Katie dazzled in not one, but two beautiful dresses.
She wore a quirky floral print gown for the ceremony and switched to a stunning white dress for the reception.
The couple didn’t shy away from having fun—posing in a photobooth with silly hats, Katie holding an old-fashioned wired telephone, showing off their playful side to their Instagram followers.
Dancing and Celebrations Into the Night
The celebrations kept going well into the night.
One Instagram clip showed Katie laughing and playfully shaking her head at Nick’s dance moves, especially when he whipped off his pink blazer and tossed it around his head.
Guests were welcomed with a cheeky sign nodding to Nick’s TV fame that read: “Welcome to Katie’s wedding… ft TV’s Nick Knowles.”
Entertainment That Stunned Guests
The couple really pulled out all the stops for their guests.
A live band kept the energy high, and at one point, a carnival dancer in full feathered costume took to the floor, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Earlier in the evening, the newlyweds shared their first dance and cut a huge wedding cake, creating a picture-perfect moment.
Their Love Story: From Friendship to Forever
Nick and Katie started dating in 2021 after their children became friends at a play center.
The romance blossomed quickly, leading to their engagement in 2023.
Katie had been counting down to the big day on Instagram and shared glimpses of their wedding prep, including running errands together.
The wedding reportedly attracted a host of celebrity guests, including Nick’s co-stars from Strictly Come Dancing.
Pre-Wedding Festivities and Fun
Before the big day, Katie kicked off the celebrations with a memorable hen do at the luxury Karma Sanctum hotel.
Joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller, the group arrived on a beer bus and partied through Soho, wearing Nick Knowles masks, which delighted Katie.
The fun continued at the hotel with surprise entertainment from two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman, keeping the party going until the early hours.
Handling Criticism With Grace
Despite their happiness, the couple has faced some harsh online trolling, especially focused on their age gap and financial dynamics.
Katie opened up exclusively to MailOnline about how the ‘gold digger’ comments no longer bother her as much.
She explained that while the insults were harder on her family at first, she and Nick now brush it off because they know the truth about their relationship.
Katie said, “Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have, and then we buy each other stuff.”
She added that age gaps often spark unfair judgments, but the important thing is that both partners know their own reality.
“I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone’s using the other for money and they’re not happy.”
Power Couple With Independent Success
Nick is estimated to have a net worth of around £7.5 million, but Katie has carved out her own success with her lingerie brand Boa Boa, launched in 2022.
She models her designs confidently to over 100,000 Instagram followers, showing she’s a powerhouse in her own right.
