There has been a lot of wedding news doing the rounds lately. As well as finding out that this wedding trend is getting more popular (our purses say thank you), we've also been grimacing at all our smug friends who are probably getting engaged this year because their boyfriend's name is on this list. Not that we care. We LOVE hearing that being single is costing you thousands - who doesn't?!

We've also had a few celebrities admitting to sneaky under-the-radar ceremonies (ahem, we're looking at you Adele and Alison Brie). But one famous couple who are more than happy to share news of their second wedding is Gary and Dawn Barlow.

The Take That singer and his wife have been married for seventeen years, and the couple have three children - Daniel, Emily and Daisy. Heartbreakingly, they lost their fourth child, Poppy, who was stillborn.

While filming An Evening With Take That, Gary said: 'I’d like to renew my wedding vows with my amazing wife. That’s definitely on the agenda.'

The news comes as Gary confirmed that he'll be making an appearance in the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie. He told Ross King: 'Now that I’ve said that, I’ll probably be out!

'The Star Wars people are so strict about information. So me saying that, I’ve probably done myself out of a role.'

A Hollywood movie and a wedding? It's going to be a busy year for Mr. Barlow...
