Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer walked down the aisle in a “fairy tale dress” to marry “the love of my life” Jordan Wyn-Jones during an intimate country ceremony.
The couple married at Chewton Glen in Hampshire on June 7, at the same spot where Jordan, a 32-year-old fitness professional, asked the question in December.
The co-stars of Strictly Come Dancing Luba Mushtuk, who was a bridesmaid, and Janette Manrara were among the guests who celebrated the happy day.

Professional dancer Karen, 40, who wore a handmade tulle dress and floral appliqués from Berta, told Hello! magazine: ‘It’s my fairy tale dress. It’s something I never thought I would go for, but I knew right away that it was “the dress” when I tried it on. I feel like I’m in it. ‘
Speaking about his ceremony, he added: “It was exactly what we had imagined, but even better. It was like a breath of fresh air for us. Everything was easy and happy.
The wedding comes after Strictly professionals toured the UK making their 36-date live tour.

Karen, who broke up with her former co-star Kevin Clifton in 2018 after three years of marriage, said: “I think people will be surprised by the news.
“Having recently been touring with Strictly, I couldn’t talk about the wedding out loud, I thought it was lovely to have our little secret in our back pocket, but it’s a pleasure to go out and say ‘Hey, we’re married.’
The groom, who was wearing a three-piece black dress, spoke of his excitement during the wedding day.

He said, “The moment I turned around and saw her, I started to emerge. It was something I had been waiting for for a long time. It looked amazing.
The couple, who became an Instagram official in July 2021, met on social media when Jordan was set up in Australia to work.
Karen said: “Jordan followed me on Instagram and I followed him, we’d love to see each other’s posts.
“I never thought I would find the love of my life on the other side of the world and find ourselves in such a unique way. But I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Jordan added, “I knew I was going to marry Karen the first day I met her, but I thought it would be a little weird to show up at her front door and ask then.”
Karen said, “I haven’t seen my family in the last two years, so it’s very emotional to bring them here and be able to share this amazing time with them” (pictured in April)
