Mezzo-soprano Laura and former rugby ace Harry announced that they were expecting their first child in August. At the time, the couple revealed the baby's due date of 22 December, which happened to fall one day after their first wedding anniversary. "It's such a special time of year and the whole reason we wanted a winter wedding in the first place was because we love Christmas so much," Laura said. "This year will be even more amazing."
After six years together, in 2018, the couple tied the knot at a beautiful ceremony as St Michael's Church in Framlingham, Suffolk, where Laura used to sing when she was growing up. "It was the most brilliant day – everything we'd hoped for," Laura told HELLO!. "To have all of our friends and family together and making memories with us was amazing. The best thing about a Christmas wedding is that you're starting the new year as a married couple and looking forward to the future."
