Cathedral vows, celeb guests, and a £500-a-night love story — this Corrie fairytale stuns fans!
Under the Gothic arches of Manchester Cathedral, Jack P Shepherd — best known to millions as David Platt — made a real-life vow that left fans swooning. In a ceremony that was as cinematic as any scene on Coronation Street, Jack married long-time love Hanni Treweek in front of a crowd that could’ve doubled as a soap awards afterparty.
The couple, glowing with joy, exchanged vows on July 26 in a star-studded gathering that brought together Corrie royalty. Tina O’Brien, Lucy Fallon, Helen Worth, Samia Longchambon — the guest list read like the credits of a primetime episode. The cathedral’s flagstone floor was lined with 150 white padded seats, while a lavish floral altar crowned the sacred moment. Despite grey skies above Manchester, the entire day radiated warmth, class, and genuine affection.
Hanni floated down the aisle in an ivory gown with long sleeves and a flowing train, embodying timeless grace. Jack, dapper and beaming, looked every bit the leading man. As they exited the cathedral, the newlyweds paused for a passionate kiss beside their red Mustang convertible — a moment that instantly went viral among fans.
But the story didn’t end at the altar. The couple — and their elite entourage — continued the celebration at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Salford, just a short drive from the cathedral. There, guests were treated to a reception that spared no luxury. From custom decor to top-tier Manchester security (courtesy of Capricorn), no detail was overlooked. It was, in every sense, a soap-worthy extravaganza.
What makes this love story even more poetic? Jack proposed during a romantic safari getaway last year — a moment of intimacy and adventure that now culminated in a fairytale ending. Hanni, an influencer and former member of the Corrie production team, had known the ins and outs of soap life before falling for one of its stars.
Behind the scenes, there’s a twist few fans saw coming: Jack admitted that he agreed to do Celebrity Big Brother this year in part to pay for the lavish wedding — never expecting to win. But win he did, both the show and, ultimately, the heart of the woman he’d spent seven years building memories with.
“26th July 2025 we become Mr & Mrs Shepherd!!” Hanni posted months ago, and the prophecy has now been fulfilled — with style, sincerity, and an outpouring of joy.
So what’s next for Jack and Hanni? Fans are already calling it the wedding of the year — but will it also mark a new chapter for Jack’s on-screen future? Will the newlyweds bring their magic from Manchester to the small screen?
Or has David Platt just been outshined by Jack the Groom?
