“1 year married, 1 yeah baby on the way. We are bursting with love and gratitude for our very precious little growing gift,” Ollie captioned the post.
The couple were originally meant to say ‘I do’ at Cowdray Park in front of 200 guests, before opting for a smaller affair.
Following multiple delays, they decided to wed in an intimate ceremony at St Alban’s Church in Fulham with 15 guests – with their reception held at London hotel and members club, The Ned.
Speaking of the stress they went through with a day’s, Emma-Louise said: “… Just days before we were due to get married, Boris dropped the bomb that lockdown was happening and everything would be cancelled again.
“It was like something out of Home Alone, I just started running round calling everyone to see if they could change the date,” Proudlock added.
“By the time Emma got home I said ‘don’t worry we’re getting married tomorrow instead.'”
Reflecting on their wedding, Emma branded it “an amazing, emotional and intimate day”, despite Proudlock’s mother having to watched their ‘I dos’ from a live feed in her living room in America.
