Lucy walked down the aisle to her own song, "Other Sides of the Moon," dedicated to her wife Emilia, while Emilia was accompanied by her father, who has been undergoing chemotherapy.
The couple had unique wedding elements, including getting matching tattoos with the date of their wedding on their wrists to commemorate their big day, and Spraggan's Boston Terrier Steve, dressed in a black bow tie, played a role during the ceremony. Lucy's relationship with Emilia began following a 2019 end to a previous marriage to Georgina Gordon. Lucy and Simon's bond grew stronger after he apologized for not supporting her following a traumatic incident in 2012 when she was sexually assaulted in her hotel room while drunk.
Her attacker was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Celebrity guests at the wedding included Cowell's partner Lauren Silverman, actor Tom Turgoose, RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Bimini Bon Boulash, and Love Island hunk A.
