Jamie and comedian Tom Lucy discussed the wedding on his podcast ‘Private Parts’.Tom asked: “So what was the whole thing about Lewis Capaldi? There was a time when he was going to come right?” Jamie replied: “There was a window when he was going to come”.
Tom said: “He wanted to come right?” to which Jamie responded: “Yes, his agent, his whole team were keen to get him out there but he couldn’t do it.”
It is not the first time that Jamie has talked about the possibility of having Lewis provide the entertainment at his wedding. On his podcast ‘Newlyweds’ which he hosts alongside his wife Sophie, he revealed: “I got a call from Lewis Capaldi’s agent saying we’re going to try and get him to come to the wedding as a surprise for you.”

I am really not happy about that.” Jamie laughingly confessed: “Unfortunately it can’t happen” with a deflated Sophie replying: “That is the biggest flop I ever heard.”
Despite Lewis not being available there were plenty of other celebrities in attendance including Spencer Matthews, Vogue Williams, Lottie Moss, Olivia Bentley, Emily Blackwell, Ollie Locke and Sam Thompson. Sophie wore an elegant embroidered ivory wedding dress with a huge lace veil that showed off her slender physique. With her glowing tan and freshly highlighted hair tied back in a chic chignon she looked the picture of elegance. Jamie meanwhile, wore a black tuxedo with a bow tie and showed up at the wedding wearing sunglasses.
Sophie’s bridesmaids wore ivory white bridesmaid dresses from ‘Maids to Measure’, which all differentiated in style and shape proving that mix and match bridesmaid dresses can look completely unified and elegant.

“My favourite moment was when we changed the first dance," Jamie admitted. "I watched the Ed Sheeran documentary, and in the documentary he said that the song ‘Perfect’ was about his wife, and he said it was because he found someone that was so perfect for him and I went, ‘Well, that has to be our first song’."
