TOFF TIES THE KNOT

Reality star Georgia Toffolo elopes to Scotland with businessman James Watt for a low-key affair of fishing boats, toast and cups of tea

Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo may be used to extravagance, but when it came to getting married to her fiancé James Watt, the former Made In Chelsea regular opted for some homespun authenticity with a low-key affair in North East Scotland. Instead of a big star-studded celebration, the couple eloped to the coastal village of Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire, on 1 March to celebrate on James' father's rustic fishing boat.

Donning a gorgeous cream corseted bodice dress which fell into a satin skirt, Georgia wrapped a shawl over her chest while styling her hair in a loose up-do with a veil. Her Scottish groom wore a smart suit instead of a traditional kilt for their big day.

Avoiding the stress of wedding planning, the pair threw tradition out of the window as they spent the morning at James' grandparents' rural home and enjoyed jam on toast with cups of tea in the kitchen before heading in a rental van to the local church.

After exchanging their vows, they celebrated on a fishing boat - a tribute to James' fisherman dad - as Georgia, 30, slipped on a warmer fur coat to match her wedding dress, and the groom got comfy in a cream cable knit and blue fisherman's overalls ready to spend the afternoon on the bracing North Sea.

There was no elaborate sit-down dinner for guests either. James, 42, caught some fresh lobsters on their travels instead, something Georgia appeared rather less keen to be hands-on with!

Admitting that she and James had only decided on the arrangements two days earlier, Devon-born Georgia joked that the guestlist included “whoever could get here with 48 hours' notice”.

Gushing over the intimate affair, the new bride wrote on Instagram, “James and I got married today. 1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped!
