From a wild safari proposal to a no-stag-rule showdown—Jack and Hanni’s wedding is soap-worthy for all the right reasons.

Under the soft grey skies of Manchester, soap star Jack P. Shepherd finally lived out the fairytale his on-screen alter ego David Platt never quite got right. Today, after years of love, laughter, and the occasional podcast bicker, he married the woman who had quietly stood by him through every twist and turn—Hanni Treweek. Their wedding wasn’t just a romantic moment; it was the culmination of a real-life storyline filled with unexpected laughs, quiet promises, and a proposal under African skies.

It all started over a year ago in Tanzania, far from the cobbled streets of Coronation Street and even further from the chaos of everyday celebrity. Amid tents, elephants, and endless horizon lines, Jack dropped to one knee and asked Hanni to say yes to forever. Her answer was immediate, and so was the cascade of emojis—elephant, sun, ring—on Instagram, marking the start of a new chapter for a couple who had never quite followed the rulebook.

And true to form, they kept breaking tradition. Hanni’s bridal celebration wasn’t a typical hen do, but a classy “non-hen party party” with her closest friends, masks of Jack’s face, and a glittery clutch that read “Wifey For Lifey.” She wore white lace, smiled like a woman who knew exactly what she wanted, and toasted to love with a straw shaped like the word “bride.” It was intimate, personal, and as she said herself, “perfect.”

Jack, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with stag-do chaos. No silly costumes, no public humiliation, no being the punchline of the weekend. “I don’t like the idea of dressing like a baby and being the butt of every joke,” he told fans bluntly. But that didn’t stop his longtime friend and podcast co-host Colson Smith from plotting a surprise of his own. The plan? A five-man gathering disguised as a casual dinner. Jack resisted. Colson insisted. What followed was a hilarious on-air disagreement over whether a “meeting in the gym” counted as permission for a stag night. In the end, a truce was called, and they settled for food and maybe, just maybe, one night out.

But beyond the jokes and gentle trolling, there was something deeply genuine about Jack and Hanni’s path to the altar. They’ve been through lockdowns, red carpets, and every tabloid headline imaginable. Yet they kept their love quietly solid, sharing just enough to make fans smile without ever letting the world in too far. Today, they opened that world just a little wider.

The ceremony, private and romantic, comes as a breath of fresh air in a news cycle so often dominated by breakups and betrayals. It’s a moment of joy not just for the couple, but for fans who’ve followed Jack since he first stepped onto the cobbles as a wide-eyed teenager. He’s grown up, changed, and now chosen someone to grow old with.

As vows were exchanged and rings slid into place, it wasn’t just two people saying “I do.” It was a quiet triumph over the messiness of modern love. It was proof that fairytales don’t always require carriages or castles—sometimes they just need two people, a safari, and a promise whispered under African stars.

And while Jack and Hanni may be heading off into their private post-wedding world, fans are left with one final, sweet truth: sometimes, even in the real world, the happy ending writes itself.

Will this be the start of a whole new chapter for one of Corrie’s most beloved stars?
