In a dazzling celebration of love, Coronation Street royalty Jack P. Shepherd officially said “I do” to long-time partner Hanni Treweek in a lavish and star-studded wedding that has instantly become the event of the soap world’s year.

The much-anticipated ceremony took place on July 26, 2025, under the soaring gothic arches of Manchester Cathedral—a venue steeped in history and grandeur, making it the perfect backdrop for the union of one of Britain’s best-loved soap stars and his real-life leading lady.

But it wasn’t just the heartfelt vows and exquisite décor that had fans talking. The streets around the Cathedral buzzed with excitement as some of TV’s biggest names—particularly Coronation Street icons past and present—arrived dressed to impress, turning the wedding into what can only be described as a red-carpet-worthy soap opera reunion.

A Grand Entrance Fit for a Soap Icon

Jack, who has played David Platt on Coronation Street since 2000, made a jaw-dropping entrance to the ceremony in a vintage red Mustang—a nod to both old-school cool and Hollywood glam. The car, gleaming in the summer sun, turned heads as the groom arrived with a broad grin, clearly excited to finally tie the knot with Hanni, his partner of over six years.

The wedding had been in the works since Jack proposed in breathtaking fashion during a safari in Tanzania last year. The couple announced their wedding date last October, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation.

Hanni had shared their excitement on Instagram, posting, “26th July 2025 we become Mr & Mrs Shepherd!!”—and now, the dream has officially become a reality.

A Cathedral Transformed

Manchester Cathedral was nothing short of magical. Lavish floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and classic white décor transformed the centuries-old venue into a romantic wonderland. The grandeur of the setting matched the scale of the couple’s love story, which began quietly behind the scenes at Coronation Street, where Hanni worked in the script department before the pair went public in 2018.

Inside the cathedral, an emotional atmosphere filled the air as family, friends, and co-stars gathered to witness the touching ceremony.

The Coronation Street Cast Comes Out in Style

But it was the guest list that truly stole the show. The event brought together a veritable who’s who of Corrie legends and rising stars, many of whom shared screen time with Jack over his impressive 25-year run on the ITV soap.

Leading the arrivals were Lucy Fallon (who played Bethany Platt) and Tina O’Brien (Sarah Platt), both of whom portrayed Jack’s on-screen sisters. Dressed in elegant pastel ensembles, the duo turned heads as they arrived—proving once again that even off-screen, the Platts are a family to be reckoned with.

Adding even more emotional weight to the occasion, Helen Worth, Jack’s on-screen mum Gail Platt, arrived hand-in-hand with her real-life husband Trevor Dawson. Helen, who recently announced her own departure from Coronation Street after more than five decades, received a warm welcome from the assembled crowd. Her presence not only symbolised the show’s enduring legacy but also cemented this wedding as a true family affair—both on and off the screen.

The Groom’s Inner Circle: Groomsmen and Brotherhood

Close friends and Corrie co-stars Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) and Ben Price (Nick Tilsley) were also in attendance and appeared to have the honour of serving as groomsmen for the big day. The trio, often seen joking around together both on-set and off, were sharply dressed in matching suits, standing as a united front behind their friend in one of the biggest moments of his life.

Colson and Ben’s presence as groomsmen speaks volumes about the tight-knit relationships formed behind the scenes on Coronation Street—bonds that clearly extend far beyond the studio walls.

Surprise Celebrity Cameos

In a surprise appearance that caught even the most dedicated soap fans off guard, Celebrity Big Brother winner and TV personality Chris Hughes was also spotted arriving at the venue. Though not directly connected to the Corrie cast, Hughes’ friendship with Jack—rumoured to have blossomed through mutual friends and industry events—added a splash of crossover celebrity glamour to the day.

Rumours are already swirling about other well-known faces who may have attended but kept a low profile, sparking a frenzy online as fans try to spot more stars from blurry Instagram Stories and tagged photos.

A Day of Love, Legacy, and a New Beginning

As the ceremony concluded and the newlyweds emerged to a roar of applause and cheers from gathered fans and paparazzi, it was clear this wasn’t just a celebrity wedding—it was the culmination of a journey shaped by television history, personal transformation, and enduring love.

Jack, once known as the wild-child teen David Platt, has matured both on screen and off. His real-life transformation—from child actor to leading man, and now husband—has been closely followed by audiences who have grown up alongside him.

For Hanni, the wedding marks her own journey into the spotlight, as she transitions from behind-the-scenes powerhouse to a beloved member of the Corrie family. Her poised elegance and natural charisma have already won her fans, and it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing more of Mrs. Shepherd in the public eye.

What’s Next for the Shepherds?

Following the wedding, the couple are rumoured to be jetting off on a luxurious honeymoon—though the location remains under wraps. Sources close to the pair suggest they may return to Africa to relive the magic of their proposal, but fans will have to keep an eye on social media for the official reveal.

Meanwhile, Jack is expected to take a short break from filming Coronation Street, though producers have reportedly lined up a dramatic new storyline for David Platt to kick off in the autumn—one that could reshape the character’s future in Weatherfield.

Final Curtain, First Chapter

For Jack P. Shepherd and Hanni Treweek, July 26th was more than a wedding—it was a celebration of legacy, loyalty, and love. With a guest list packed with Coronation Street legends, dazzling décor, and emotional tributes, this event was a reminder that behind every great soap story is a real-life love story just waiting to unfold.

And if the wedding is any indication, the next chapter in the Shepherds’ life together will be nothing short of iconic.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd—Weatherfield will never be the same again.
