Two years after meeting on BBC’s The Apprentice, Harpreet Kaur and Akshay Thakrar have tied the knot!

The TV stars celebrated their love for one another in a truly lavish affair, joined by 60 loved ones for the special occasion.

Harpreet and Akshay – who went public with their romance shortly after their series of Lord Alan Sugar’s show finished – opted for an outdoor ceremony.

Recalling their wedding, Akshay, 31, said: ‘The only way I can describe our wedding is that it felt like a movie, it was amazing.

Harpreet, 32, added to OK! Magazine: ‘I just wish we could do it all again, it went even better than we planned!’

The stunning bride walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Bruno Mars’s hit Just The Way You Are as their three-day wedding began with a civil ceremony at Wentbridge House Hotel in Yorkshire on May 29.

Harpreet looked gorgeous in a flowing gown with floral detailing and a veil from Enzoani.

‘It was just beautiful, I’ve always dreamt of wearing a white wedding dress because, being Indian, we don’t always make a fuss of that day or the legal bit,’ said the sweet treats shop owner.

Akshay said the wedding was also his ‘first-ever English wedding’, which he found ‘fascinating’, having only ever seen them depicted in films before.

Sharing photos from the dreamy day on Instagram and with hundreds of congratulatory comments underneath, the newlyweds penned in a joint post: ‘Blessed and Married. Starting our forever chapter. ❤️’

The Apprentice lovebirds announced their engagement in May last year, sharing snaps of a romantic rooftop proposal.

At the time, Harpreet, who won Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment thanks to her dessert parlour business back in 2022, was left stunned as Akshay got down on one knee in front of a rose petal display and pyrotechnics.

His Instagram caption announcing the news read: ‘I would find you in any lifetime ❤️

‘Our journey began in the most unexpected way. Now it’s time to begin our forever chapter.

‘She said yes 💍 Thank you to everyone who helped create this moment.’

Despite meeting during filming for The Apprentice, Harpreet and Akshay didn’t start dating until afterwards.

They later confessed that an ‘unexpected’ relationship blossomed between the pair, as they confirmed in the summer of last 2022 that they were an item.

Meanwhile, business-wise, Harpreet parted ways with Lord Sugar last August.

Having worked closely with the business mogul on Oh So Yum! for 12 months, she is now flying solo but described the decision as ‘amicable’.

A statement issued at the time read: ‘Harpreet Kaur, The Apprentice winner 2022, has bought back Lord Sugar’s shares in her desserts business, Oh So Yum! 

‘This move marks a significant achievement in the journey of the Yorkshire-based entrepreneur, who won Season 16 of the show and secured a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar.’

‘With the purchase of Lord Sugar’s shares, Harpreet and her sister, Gurvinder Kaur, are now in full control of the business and its future direction. The separation has been amicable and Lord Sugar and Harpreet Kaur mutually agreed it was the best decision for the business moving forward,’ they concluded.

Lord Sugar was extremely complimentary of Harpreet’s business prowess in a follow-up quote.

‘Harpreet is an exceptionally bright and driven businesswoman. I’ve enjoyed our time working together, and whilst the time is right for us to now go our separate ways, I have no doubts she will continue to flourish,’ he said.
