This lovely news comes after another exciting announcement, with Riley announcing her pregnancy earlier this year. On 24 May she took to Instagram to post a beautiful picture of herself holding her bump, leaning on a Countdown board spelling out ‘R Tiny Mate’ with a caption reading: “Pash and I have a conundrum for you…you have till December to work it out! We’re over the moon excited.”

Although we love poring over wedding stationery trends, unusual flower arrangements and some of the glitziest celebrity wedding dresses there ever was, we’re feeling pretty seduced by the low-key vibe of elopement weddings and especially Riley’s relaxed attitude.

Just think, with a ceremony this small you can dodge all of those bridesmaid dramas and horrific wedding myths…
