Havant MP Alan Mak celebrates marriage in St Faith's Church alongside MP colleagues

Alan Mak met his wife in 2017 and the pair became engaged following a proposal in the New Forest in 2020.

Their wedding was followed by reception at nearby Stansted House, where the parliamentarian was joined by MP colleagues including Penny Mordaunt, Gillian Keegan, former Havant MP Lord David Willetts and Lady Willetts.

Mr Mak, who has represented the Havant constituency since his election in 2015, said: ‘Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate our marriage and to everyone who has sent us good wishes! I am thrilled to have married Cathy and we look forward to a long and happy life together.’

He continued: ‘Although the pandemic delayed our engagement and wedding, marriage is important to both of us, and we’re grateful for everyone’s good wishes as we celebrated at St. Faith’s Church and Stansted House.’

The service featured several traditions hymns, including I Vow to Thee My Country and Jerusalem, with several bible readings.

The couple have had a short ‘minimoon’ break over the summer recess, and plan a honeymoon sometime in 2023.

Earlier this week, the MP said he had 'followed the rules' after not declaring £1,500 payment from Aquind.

He says this money was for advertising at his jobs fairs in 2018 and 2019, and that these took place before the interconnector scheme came about, something he claims to have always opposed.
