Brooke Vincent wants a small, personal wedding

Brooke Vincent wants a small, intimate wedding.

The former 'Coronation Street' star - who played Sophie Webster on the long-running ITV soap between 2004 and 2019 - took to Instagram in April to reveal she and her long-time boyfriend, pro footballer Kean Bryan, got engaged after six years together.

And the ex-soap star - who has Mexx, two, and Monroe, 16 months, with her husband-to-be - has teased that she wants her wedding to be all about her family and nothing else.

She told OK!: “Having had so many big parties, I think I want a small wedding. I just worry so much in party situations that everyone else is having a good time. Our wedding day should just be about us and our boys and family. I just want to keep that feeling throughout. I want to get married for us, not for anyone else.”

Kean popped the question on their sixth anniversary on 17 April, hiring an igloo and a chef to serve Brooke's favourite meal in their own garden, where he got down on one knee.

Brooke didn't suspect a thing.

She recalled: “I wasn’t expecting it at all.

“I’ve always told him, ‘Don’t ever do it in front of people, not even at a restaurant!’ I think I would’ve been very aware of people around us instead of just enjoying a personal moment. So the best thing for me was that it was at our house. We’ve had our boys there, it’s our first house together, it’s been the scene for so many amazing milestones.

“So we were celebrating our six-year anniversary and when we came back home there was an igloo in the garden and it was all beautifully decorated. We had dinner, which was lasagne made by a hired chef. It was really luxurious. Then I went upstairs to fetch a phone charger and was faffing around changing my phone – he must have been sweating downstairs as I was taking ages – then when I came back into the igloo, he was down on one knee and I thought, ‘Oh my god!’.

“Then I got down on one knee too. I couldn’t believe what was happening. He was crying, I was crying. He told me the reasons he wanted to marry me. I’ve never felt so loved, I was overwhelmed.”
