OUR WEDDING FELT LIKE A MOVIE - WE WISH WE COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN'

It’s been a whirlwind two years for Akshay Thakrar and Harpreet Kaur, who met on the 2022 series of The Apprentice and began dating shortly after. Fast-forward to today and the couple are officially husband and wife after tying the knot in a three-day wedding extravaganza.

Sharing all the details with OK! post-wedding, the smitten couple chat to us from their honeymoon suite at the Fairmont Windsor Park hotel. “The only way I can describe our wedding is that it felt like a movie, it was amazing,” says Akshay, 31. Confirming the nuptials were everything they had dreamt of, Harpreet adds, “I just wish we could do it all again, it went even better than we planned!”

While both Indian, Akshay and Harpreet, 32, have grown up in different cultures and were keen to mix these in their wedding. The groom explains, “Harps is Punjabi and I’m a Gujarati Hindu, so we wanted to merge traditions from each. Our families loved that and we really enjoyed seeing each other’s culture.”

And those mix of cultures meant a whole lot of celebrating; with a civil ceremony, a religious ceremony and a reception bash all on separate days. Joined by family across the globe, and some familiar faces from The Apprentice, the couple certainly got hitched in style.

“There was a moment when I looked around the room and I said to Harpreet, ‘Do you realise everyone in this room means something to us?’ They had all come for us and to celebrate us. It was amazing,” gushes Akshay.

The couple began with a civil ceremony at Wentbridge House Hotel, a country house in Yorkshire, on Wednesday 29 May. Luckily, the sun made an appearance for their outdoor ceremony in front of 60 of Harpreet and Akshay’s closest friends and family. Walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are, Harpreet wore a stunning gown with floral detailing and a flowing veil from Enzoani.
