Lou and Phil married on September 18, 2021 at Jesmond Dene House in Newcastle upon Tyne, with photography by Nikki Paxton amid the venue's autumn gardens. Lou wore a beaded dress found second-hand on eBay, a veil borrowed from her sister, and 'Addie' crystal and freshwater pearl earrings gifted by her mother. Her sister made the bouquet and buttonholes, her sister-in-law-to-be arranged additional flowers, and her new mother-in-law made the wedding cake. Lou was walked down the aisle by her two young sons.
