Newlyweds Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay have left Bath Abbey after their lavish wedding sparked a bitter feud and tore the Olympian’s family apart.
The Olympian swimmer, 30, and his blushing bride, 25, beamed as they made their grand exit from the historic 7th-century building following their ceremony today.
They smiled as they made their way through an adoring crowd, keen to catch the loved-up couple, before they headed to the opulent Georgian manor, Kin House.
Meanwhile, Holly’s proud celebrity chef father, Gordon Ramsay, 59, was seen thanking members of the star-studded guest list, including the Beckhams, as they left the service.
But the run-up to the wedding has been anything but plain sailing, sparking a toxic family row that captured the nation and left Peaty’s family disinvited to the celebrations.
Despite the feud, the gold medalist’s sister, Bethany Peaty, was among Holly’s bridesmaids, which also included her mother, Tana Ramsay, 51, and her sisters, Tilly, 24 and Megan, 27.

Elsewhere, the swimmer’s other family members fueled further speculation of a rift by flying a Union Jack flag upside down while hundreds of miles away in Staffordshire.
However it would have been hard to spot bubblings of a spat this morning, as Holly glowed making her way into Bath Abbey, guided by her proud Hell’s Kitchen host father, Gordon.

The bride kept her Christmas wedding dress firmly under wraps, covering it with an embroidered lace cloak as hordes of onlookers were eager to catch a glimpse.
She shivered as she emerged from the car into the near-freezing wintry temperatures despite clutching an ivory hooded satin cloak around her traditional ivory lace voluminous wedding dress.
The bride looked visibly nervous as she paused for a moment in the icy wind while an attendant helped to ease her dress and its train from the Rolls Royce.
Her father, as if sensing her hesitation, moved round to face her and whispered a few words into her ear.
Then, in a touching moment between the two of them, they smiled tenderly at each other and he kissed her on the cheek before they moved forwards.
Security guards holding umbrellas to the side to fend off unwanted attention flanked Gordon and his daughter, as the chef waved and said ‘Merry Christmas’.
She kept her eyes cast downwards as if unprepared for the large and noisy crowds that had gathered to the front and sides of the abbey awaiting her arrival.
Holly chose a dewy make-up look, coupled with an understated updo and veil, only giving crowds a short glimpse of a scalloped skirt underneath her long train.

And while the big day hasn’t been short of family drama, the Ramsay’s A-list close friends, The Beckhams, arrived showing their support to the couple.
Her bridesmaids were shortly ahead and stunned in red and green column-style dresses with short puffed sleeves and simple black sandals, each carrying a single white Arum lily tied with a white ribbon – in keeping with the Yuletide theme.
It is believed the couple chose Bath Abbey, where the cost of a wedding can be around £2,500, because the Olympian groom trains at nearby Bath University.
Among the star-studded guest list which includes 200 attendees, was Sir David, 50, his wife, Victoria Beckham, 51, as well as their children, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
The Beckhams and the Ramsays have been close family friends since the early 2000s, with the two clan striking a bond when they both relocated to the USA.
However, the famous brood aren’t short of their own family dramas either, with eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, having his own reported rift between with his father.
It comes as sources claim the family believe Brooklyn has blocked them in a move that appears to be a sign of his ‘complete estrangement’ from his family.
And the eldest Beckham son was notably absent at today’s wedding.

Sources familiar with the nuptials say Brooklyn, as someone who was once a central part of the Ramsay/Beckham gatherings, ‘will of course be missed’.
Despite being best friends since they were toddlers, the Daily Mail revealed that his relationship with Gordon and Tana’s eldest son Jack – now in the Marines – had also fizzled out.
It is believed that they have not spoken for some time, and according to friends of both families, their bond began to unravel when Brooklyn began dating Nicola.
Much like Brooklyn’s parents, there was no sign of Jack at Brooklyn and Nicola’s service to renew their wedding vows in the summer.
It is not known if Brooklyn was invited to Holly’s wedding and declined or if he didn’t make the guest list.
However other insiders have suggested it would be unlike Holly to have snubbed Brooklyn because the Ramsays are thought to take ‘the door is always open’ view when it comes to the 26-year-old.
And they allegedly feel it is a ‘huge shame’ he isn’t going as he and Holly were once very close – he and Jack even closer.

The newlyweds, who got engaged 15 months ago, asked the celebrity-packed guest list to avoid taking snaps on the big day ‘to help maintain [it’s] intimacy’.

And on their gift wish-list is an £800 chair and footstool, a £450 log storage bin and a £995 mahogany table, The Sun reported.
They have also included a £365 mirror, a £430 outdoor heater as well as less expensive items such as an £18 bowl on their list.
‘It’s very traditional and they’ve made the gifting totally optional but, given the wealth of some of the people invited, they’re bound to do well,’ a source said.
Earlier, proud father Gordon shared a a heartwarming tribute to his daughter as she prepared to tie the knot with her fiancé.
The TV chef shared a sweet snap of him and Holly as he gushed over how ‘proud’ he is and how much he is looking forward to officially welcoming the sportsman to the family.
He penned: ‘I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son in law @adam_peaty!

Beforehand, he appeared to be counting down the hours to the wedding, sharing a snap of his surroundings – a pool in the backdrop of a countryside sunrise with the caption, ‘Morning of our wedding.’
It appears Peaty, who has six gold medals to his name, may have been planning a quick dip to calm his nerves ahead of the lavish celebrations.
Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated wedding has been at the centre of a toxic family row that has captured the nation, and has left the Olympian’s family disinvited to the celebrations.
And at Kin House, the Wiltshire manor where the married couple’s reception is set to take place, security guards and dogs were spotted patrolling the grounds.
The Georgian manor is located near the pretty town of Chippenham, a 40-minute drive from the centre of Bath.
The sought-after wedding venue can accommodate 200 guests on site, with 12 bedrooms suitable for up to 24 guests.
The starting price for a full weekend wedding is £32,750, with bespoke menus for different clients.
But 120 miles away, in Staffordshire, his mother Caroline, father Mark and wider family are sat at home ‘heartbroken’ as they will not be among the guests after they were reportedly barred from the wedding by the happy couple.

Caroline had reportedly planned to crash the wedding but has since decided against it explaining ‘it would be too sad’ and she doesn’t ‘want to spoil his big day’.
Her change of heart came after she’d previously insisted: ‘I will be there, and I will watch from the street.’
However, her husband Mark dissuaded her from crashing the wedding, telling her it would be ‘too upsetting’ to be there.
Instead, the Peatys remain at their home in Uttoxeter – the same home from which Caroline used to ferry her son to and from his countless training sessions and competitions, all those years ago.
Earlier, wedding organisers were seen putting the finishing touches on the two brilliant rose flower arrangements outside the Abbey where her son married the love of his life and perhaps sealed the point of no return for her relationship with him.
Hours before guests were even set to arrive at the ancient landmark, a handful of spectators gathered by the blue rope that has been erected to catch the wedding of the year.
Six weeks ago, Caroline revealed her hurt and bewilderment in the wake of an extraordinary family bust-up that had exploded into the public arena after Holly’s very glossy hen-do, to which she was not invited.
Photographs of the glamorous gathering, posted on Instagram, notably included the bride-to-be, her family and friends, Victoria Beckham, Adam’s sister Bethany, but not Caroline.

She was at home, looking after Adam’s son, George, five, from his previous relationship with Eirianedd Munro.
Meanwhile, at Kin House in Wiltshire, the opulent wedding reception is expected to go on until midnight.
Guests will arrive at the lavish venue after being shipped from the Abbey following the ceremony’s conclusion.
Their evening will begin with a prawn cocktail or Jerusalem artichoke starter at 4pm, followed by a beef wellington, pan-roasted wild halibut or crispy mushroom and chestnut pithivier.
In keeping with tradition, the wedding cake is set to be cut at 8pm with the newlyweds opting for a classic tatin for dessert.
Peaty is said to have met his now-wife via her sister Tilly, while they both participated in Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.
On September 12, 2024, Holly announced their engagement, writing: ‘I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now.’
In a another post, Peaty said: ‘I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side.’
