Celebrity Gretna Green Weddings At The Mill Forge

Celebrity weddings can cause quite a stir in a small town like Gretna Green. Here we take a look at some of the celebrities who've chosen to get married at The Mill Forge

When you think of a wedding involving famous people it's easy to expect A-list guests, the wedding story and photographs sold to magazines and diva-like demands. As one of the country's most popular wedding ceremony venues we have had a number of famous faces marry on the premises

Kerry Katona

Kerry Katona famously married her taxi driver boyfriend Mark Croft on the 14th of February 2007 in The Mill Forge.

Miss Katona was a member of girl band Atomic Kitten before embarking on a TV career which saw her feature in reality shows about her life

The whole affairwas arranged in secret by the groom with the help of a Mill Forge wedding planner. OK magazine had bought the rights to their wedding and ran a feature as well as providing the wedding photographer. Her status meant that there was a large number of journalists and photographers all trying to get an exclusive picture or scoop the story. A number of security men were hired to protect the couple's privacy and make sure that the press did not interfere with any other weddings taking place that day

Miss Katona and her groom were married by a minister in a simple religious wedding ceremony and afterwards had a wedding reception with their small party of friends and family before retiring to their bridal suite. Sadly because of the presence of all the journalists she spent most of her time with us in her bridal suite away from the glare of the cameras.
