It wasn’t the wedding that fans of BrewDog millionaire James Watt and former Made In Chelsea icon Georgia Toffolo expected.

With their status and money, many would have expected a lavish affair with every detail planned with perfect finesse.

But this weekend the loved-up couple completely shocked their fans when they announced that they had eloped before celebrating on a fishing boat in Scotland because they were keen to do things their own way.

The humble day showed them embracing onboard the vessel just off the coast of the picturesque town of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire.

Gardenstown is a small coastal village in northeastern Scotland where the main economic base is fishing. 

The town boats a quaint beach and working harbour, and a historic church which overlooks stunning sea views.

On Monday Georgia revealed they were going on a three-day honeymoon in Scotland and had kept things low-key since the wedding – with their lives going straight back to ‘normal’.

She said in her post: ‘We’re staying in Scotland because we love it up here! We are so excited to just relax as the past few weeks have been so intense for James and I. We’re not going to be doing anything insane or crazy.’ 

Sharing snaps of their special and unique day, Georgia revealed she travelled to the church in a transit van and held some daffodils freshly picked last minute in the morning. 

The bride almost suffered a fall as she slipped over the bottom of her dress while walking to the same church James’ grandparents married in.

James wrote on his Instagram: ‘Georgia and I got married today.

‘Some key details: 1st March 2025 57.6722° N, 2.3372° W (Gardenstown, Northeast Scotland) 6°C, 17-knot winds (because Scottish weather never disappoints) Spaniel ring bearer.

‘Guests – whoever could get there with 24 hours notice, Scottish honeymoon incoming 

‘Married in the same church my grandparents were married in’

The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia’s 30th birthday.

And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word – though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend. 

Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared loved-up snaps of the newlyweds posing on a fishing boat moments after saying ‘I Do’, captioning her shock post: ‘James and I got married today.

‘1st March will forever be the best day of my life – the day I became your wife. We eloped! 

‘Guests: whoever could get here with 48 hours notice! 

‘Temperature: 6°C. Wind: 17 knots North Westerly. Location: North East Scotland 

‘To our family and friends who aren’t with us, we will celebrate with you soonest!’

Georgia looked stunning for her big day, slipping into a cream, fleece off-the-shoulder dress – perfect for keeping her warm in the chilly Scottish weather. 

The I’m A Celebrity star styled her blonde locks into an elegant up do and added dainty diamond earrings and a flowing white veil to her bridal look.

Perhaps not very bridal were the chunky brown boots she donned with the outfit, though this may have been for health and safety reasons amid their pH๏τoshoot on the boat.

Meanwhile, James himself rocked an unconventional wedding outfit, donning a cream beanie hat and a thick cream jumper worn beneath blue fishing overalls.

The couple certainly appeared to get in the spirit of things, with Georgia and James pulling different expressions as they got to grips with some lobsters. 

Georgia’s post was greeted with a plethora of delightful comments from her fans and celebrity pals, who were equally shocked and overjoyed at her big news. 

After sharing her images to social media, Georgia shared a video to her Instagram stories shortly after walking down the aisle, excitedly remarking: ‘We just got married!’ 

Georgia, who was sat in a car next to James – who at this point was clad in a smart, dark suit – said to the camera: ‘It was so unchoreographed! We just came out the church and were like ‘wait, where do we go now?’ So we just sat in the car!

‘We’re going to meet everyone now but it’s the best day of our lives! I can’t believe it!’

Back in January, James revealed he will in fact marry Made In Chelsea star Georgia this year after asking his followers on social media whether he should ‘take the tax-relief hit’ or postpone his marriage for three years.

Speculation around when James and Georgia, better known as ‘Toff’, will tie the knot has grown since he hinted at delaying the ceremony and she said her struggle to find a dress was holding them. 

In December, the business mogul asked his 427,000 LinkedIn followers if he should put off the nuptials for three years as to not miss out on tax relief.

Marrying Toff before then would make him a ‘connected person’ in her raw dog food business, Wild Pack, after he invested in the company this year which would make him ineligible for the EIS tax relief.

But James revealed to MailOnline in January they had already set a date in 2025 for their wedding and picked the venue, which they are keeping under wraps for now.

Regarding his LinkedIn post, he said: ‘I thought it was so clear to everyone I was joking because of the tone and the laughing face I put. I was poking fun at how silly the tax rules are and everyone thought it was a serious thing.

‘The tax saving was going to be less than £5,000, so it definitely wasn’t something I would consider postponing a wedding for 36 months over.’ 

Sharing an update on the planning process via Instagram last month, Georgia told her 1.8 million fans the wedding would have taken place the month after their engagement if she had found a dress.

‘We are both incredibly impatient people desperate to waltz down the aisle,’ she said, adding they will get married ‘very quickly’ when she does find the perfect gown.

She then filmed a clip with her fiancé and asked him: ‘If I find the dress of dreams today when can we get married?’

To which he replied: ‘Let’s say next weekend,’ as she added: ‘We’re not even joking though.’

The businessman also joked he will be re-wearing the same suit he wore for his first wedding to his former wife Johanna Basford to be ‘sustainable’.

Toff previously shared a sneaky glimpse of her wedding dress shopping but wouldn’t let her followers see the whole dress.

Revealing her plans for the food she confessed they will be having ‘sausage rolls’ and ‘James’ Granny’s rice pudding’.

The reality star also confirmed she will be breaking tradition by spending the night before the wedding with her husband to be.

‘I love being with James so the night before we are going to have all the kids round and we are going to sit on the sofa and watch Mamma Mia,’ she said.

While the star admitted she considered eloping, she explained they can’t completely elope as their families would miss out but will instead embrace a ‘light elope’.

She said: ‘I just want to go and elope! I think there is something so Sєxy and beautiful and romantic about a couple eloping.

‘It is kind of unfair because you can’t share the joy and we do have family to think about, but if I had my way it would just be us and immediate family.

‘I think I need to plan the most unconventional, weird, whacky wedding that everyone looks at and thinks ‘Has she gone mental?’ because I think that is what we want.’

In January, Georgia admitted she was gagging to walk down the aisle but can’t bear the thought of all the organisation involved for the big day. 

She told The Mirror: ‘I’m just desperate to get married! I don’t want to do any of the planning, I haven’t planned a thing, I only want to be married, it’s the opposite of how I thought I’d feel.

‘I thought I’d be swept up in what I’m going to wear and have hundreds of people there and all of that.’ My preference is to elope. I’m struggling to get it over the line.

Before adding: ‘Our families are so excited for us and want to be involved, it feels a little selfish to elope. So, we’ll see.’
