Emma Willis, 48, wasn’t afraid to break the rules at both of her weddings with Matt Willis, 41, choosing everything from daring beauty looks to seductive dresses.
The Love Is Blind presenters tied the knot at the Rushton Hall Hotel in Northamptonshire on July 7, 2008. Emma looked stunning in a Phillipa Lepley wedding dress with a nipped-in waist, floor-length tulle skirt and open back with a button placket at the back.
Contrary to tradition, the bride wore bright red fingernails, which stood out clearly against her white bouquet of flowers.
Ten years later, Emma and Matt – parents of Isabelle, Ace and Trixie – renewed their wedding vows. The Celebrity Big Brother presenter took the opportunity to recycle her original wedding dress. But have you spotted her second wedding dress?
Second wedding
In 2018, Emma was photographed in her backless tulle dress while being carried piggyback by her husband, the only difference being her neutral manicure and the lack of white flowers in her pixie cut.
She had invited all her guests – including Holly Willoughby and Rochelle Humes – to also wear their own wedding dresses.
A carousel of photos gave a glimpse into the festivities, including Emma’s skintight satin slip with spaghetti straps and a figure-hugging silhouette. She completed her party look with silver and pink glitter around her eyes.
“Remembering my absolute favorite day of the year 4 months ago. So many people helped make it extra special (can you spot them). Tomorrow we’re going on a ‘family vacation’, is there such a thing?!” she captioned the post.
McFly performed at the wedding reception for the first time in two years and the guests seemed to enjoy their reunion.

After renewing their vows, the McBusted star wrote in an Instagram post: “I actually managed to keep her for 10 years… I’m still not sure how? I know I’m slamming before y’all comment on this! I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”
“I get to spend the rest of my life with this lovely, beautiful, powerful woman. She is a wonderful wife and mother and I couldn’t be prouder to be her husband. Thank you for the best years of my life.”
Not only do they spend time at home with their three children, but they have also recently become professionally connected and are co-hosting “Love Is Blind.”

Emma added: “I’m fascinated by seeing how people connect on a purely emotional and mental level without any visual elements coming into play. Plus, you get Willis twice! I loved working with Matt and we’re both obsessed with the show, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity.”
