Inside Emmerdale star Amy Walsh’s incredible wedding with EastEnders star performing and dancing until 4am
AMY Walsh has married her actor fiancé Toby-Alexander Smith in a star-studded ceremony.
The 36-year-old Emmerdale actress tied the knot with EastEnders actor Toby, 32, in front of family and friends in Montenegro.
And it looked like the wedding day of dreams for the star, whose Girls Aloud star sister Kimberley Walsh performed at the ceremony.
Other famous faces in attendance included EastEnders star Shona McGarty, who duetted with TikTok sensation Sonny Tennet.
And Emmerdale favourites Natalie Ann Jamieson, Olivia Bromley and Louisa Clein also made the trip to Eastern Europe to watch their friend say her vows.
Amy, who plays Tracy Robinson in the Dales, had six bridesmaids and there were eight pageboys involved in the family occasion.
The happy couple chose to wed at the picturesque 17th century Talici Hill Rustic Villas – located at the foot of a mountain range – after visiting the location back in January.
Amy shared that there was a massive thunderstorm on the day that they first went to check out the venue, but that the location “still looked beautiful.”
Fast-forward to their wedding day, and Amy had 100 of their nearest and dearest flown out to celebrate.
She told OK!: “Our family and friends are really important to us and we wanted everyone to have the best time.
“They all made such an effort to come out there for us. Friends left their kids for the first time and spent their money getting there. We wanted it to be really special.”
The stunning actress opted to wear a lace-and-tulle dress by American designer Enzoani, and she looked beautiful as she posed for photos with her bridesmaids, who wore very chic golden brown dresses.
Toby went for a bespoke Richard George Tailoring suit, and looked dapper as he waited for his bride with their adorable 20-month-old daughter Bonnie.
A live pianist played classical music as Amy approached with her dad John, who has terminal cancer.
Amy shared: “My brother handed me over to my dad, who walked me down the last bit. He knows he only has a certain amount of time left, so it was important for him to be there. It’s a cancer you can’t cure, but you can live with it and he’s doing well fighting it.”
The couple wrote their own vows, and during the ceremony Amy told Toby she “didn’t believe in marriage until I met you.”
Then, after the exchanging of baguette-cut diamond rings, it was time for the pair to enjoy the party with guests.
Amy was surprised by a live performance from her favourite singer, Sonny Tennet.
After several other performances, the couple then sat down to enjoy food al fresco, as well as speeches.
Food included beef medallion, pork tenderloin and Montenegrin meats and cheeses, with wedding cake to finish off proceedings.
The couple then enjoyed a night of dancing and drinking in one of the outbuildings, with Amy remaining in her wedding dress to make the most of it.
The night finally drew to a close for the newlyweds at 4am, after lots of limoncello, dancing, and a cigar and whisky corner.
“I ended doing a full-blown boyband routine to Relight My Fire with one of my old friends and it went down a storm,” Toby shared.
