Lauren Price Marries Long-Term Partner Carlie Jones
Olympic boxing champion Lauren Price described her wedding day as the "best day of our lives" after marrying her long-term partner Carlie Jones in a ceremony held in south Wales.
The couple exchanged vows at Sant Ffraed House near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, on Saturday, surrounded by family and friends.
Price, 31, who secured gold for Team GB at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and currently holds the unified welterweight world champion title, has been in a relationship with Jones since their teenage years.
The wedding coincided with Price’s inclusion on the Independent's Pride List 2026, which recognises influential LGBTQ+ figures across the UK.
In an Instagram post, Price expressed her feelings about the day:
"It's hard to put into words how amazingly perfect our day was. We got to share our love story with our favourite people."
"To my wife I'm in awe of you. I could not be more proud to call you my wife."
Rebecca Chick, founder of Eva Ashley Bridal—the designer of the couple’s wedding dresses—commented on the occasion, saying it was a "privilege to play a small part in celebrating the love shared by Lauren and Carlie".
She added, "Both brides looked breathtaking in the gowns we chose together. I wish them every happiness as they begin this exciting new chapter together."
Greg Chester, venue manager at Sant Ffraed House, described the event as a "knockout day," highlighting an "impromptu first dance on the terrace at sunset."
He remarked, "Lauren and Carlie's love shone through in every moment, and both brides looked absolutely beautiful. We're so proud to have hosted such a special day for them."
