Miranda Hart reveals the completely unexpected theme for her secret wedding

Miranda Hart has revealed her secret wedding had a truly unique theme.

Earlier this week, the 51-year-old comedian and actress revealed she was ‘thrilled to be a young bride’ after tying the knot recently.

Speaking on The One Show, Miranda declared ‘I got married’ while being interviewed.

‘I can now say that someone put a ring on it. I got married at 51. It’s just so lovely. I’d written Gary for on screen Miranda, and it wasn’t until I was 49 that I met my person,’ she shared.

Now, a few days on, Miranda has shared more details about her nuptials.

During an appearance on tonight’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, Miranda explained how the wedding was Hawaiian-themed and included plenty of fun features.

‘It was a very small gathering and for no reason at all it was Hawaiian themed with inflatable flamingos, coconut bowling and a steel band,’ she revealed.

She also explained how the event was a low-key affair for a close group of friends and family.

Talking about her new husband, whose identity she hasn’t revealed publicly, Miranda explained how she decided it was time to find a partner.

‘I had my diagnosis during the pandemic, and it was a very lonely time, so I decided I didn’t want to be alone anymore, so I put out this little prayer with about one percent of hope, but I met someone and got married in July,’ she added.

Miranda’s memoir I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You was recently released and follows her experience battling the severe symptoms of Lyme disease.

‘The book is not just about illness; it is about how I learnt to live well and free with joy and meaning despite my circumstances.  I now feel I can be in the world as me.  I feel fully free, if not fully recovered,’ she explained.

In the book she also writes about her husband, whom she met two years ago.

Referring to him as ‘The Boy from Bristol’, Miranda shared he works as a building surveyor and they met when he came to look at a mould problem in her home.

She also shares how he proposed during a romantic walk in Kew Gardens.

‘We stood still on the bridge overlooking the lake when the silence was pierced as he rather seriously said, “Miranda”. I turned around and as I did, he got down on one knee. “Miranda…”.

‘I don’t remember anything else because I simply burst out crying, apparently saying yes before he had finished the sentence (awkward if he’d been tying a shoelace…)

‘I didn’t think a traditional proposal would affect me so. But there was someone knowing all my ridiculousness and brokenness and still willing to bend down, look up and commit to loving me and standing by me for the rest of his life.’
