Funnyman Walliams weds Dutch supermodel Lara Stone
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Little Britain comedian David Walliams has made on honest woman of Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in a lavish wedding ceremony this weekend. The £80,000 nuptials were held at London’s Claridge’s Hotel before a celebrity-studded party at Shoreditch House.
Despite the couple’s unconventional nature, the camp comedian and his leggy younger fashionista stuck to a conservative theme for their marriage, with Lara, 26, donning a tight-fitting, cream Ricardo Tisci gown during the brief half-hour ceremony. The dress featured a lace-trimmed train and gold brocade and reportedly cost £30,000. Walliams, 38, opted for a modest grey morning suit.
After the ceremony, Lara partied the night away in a gold minidress while her new husband kept things classic in a traditional black dinner jacket and bow-tie. The funnyman and his model bride were joined at the after party by a whole host of celebrities including Walliams’s sidekick Matt Lucas, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and TV’s golden couple Vernon Kay and Tess Daly.
Also at the party were some of the groom’s many old flames, including Denise Van Outen and Natalie Imbruglia, but thankfully there were no fights over the bouquet. In all, £10,000 worth of white roses were provided by florist-to-the-stars Ron Van Helden.
BBC producer Robin Dashwood was best man alongside Matt Lucas, but the stars of the reception were undoubtedly Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish. With a fitted navy suit and hanky, Furnish was the perfect complement to Elton’s shiny trousers, messy hair and oversized jewellery.
