They supposedly became engaged on the Caribbean island of Mustique.
The delay in saying 'I do' has been caused by:
🦠 A global pandemic
🏥 A spell in intensive care for Boris
🍼 The birth of their son, Wilfred
🎨 Loads of vital interior decorating

👑 The last, and only, Prime Minister to have married while in office did so exactly 200 years ago.

🔔Will it be a “private family event” or a glamorous society affair? Designer or vintage? Will Johnson forget both his trousers and shoes, then lose his ring, like he did first time round? And who will pick up the tab? Let the speculation begin…
🎓If Dominic Raab doesn’t insist on being best man, that duty might fall to one of Johnson’s two best pals from the Bullingdon Club, Darius Guppy and Earl Spencer.
Johnson’s long-suffering personal trainer might make an appearance, and what about a wild card, like Donald Trump?

🤝 On the bride’s side, the women’s rights campaigner Nimco Ali, who is rumoured to be Wilfred's godmother, seems a fair bet to be among the bridesmaids.

👪 It isn’t known whether Johnson’s older children (Lara, Milo, Cassia and Theodore, from his marriage to Marina Wheeler, and Stephanie, the daughter he had as the result of an affair while Mayor) will be attending, but Wilfred is sure to have a starring role

“She has a subscription to a site called My Wardrobe HQ, which has lots of very fancy dresses that could be wedding-worthy"

🎵 Appearing on Desert Island Discs the PM chose The Beatles and Van Morrison.
It’s unlikely Van Morrison, whose latest album contains a song called No More Lockdown, will volunteer their services.
Carrie’s music taste seems cheesier. She was spotted at the Abba musical in 2019
