Emmerdale stars Max Parker and Kris Mochrie are set to host the soap wedding of the year on Wednesday, as they tie the knot in a star-studded ceremony.

The pair famously played brothers on the ITV soap, and are set to exchange their vows in a wedding with a reported £100,000 price tag.

Max and Kris are getting married at the lavish Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk, where weddings start at an eye-watering £65,000.

The couple first got engaged in 2022, and shared in July that they had set a wedding date for this month.

The lavish wedding celebrations began on Tuesday where guests enjoyed an outdoor rehearsal dinner BBQ at the estate’s swish Chapel Barn venue, before being given wedding favours of ‘KM’ branded bars of Tony’s Chocolate Chocolonely bars.

Footage shared on Instagram showed guests were led from the barn across the meadows to a lakeside dinner by a brass band.

Those in attendance were treated to £82 bottles of Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose, and to end the evening, Max and Kris got into a rowing boat on one of the 5,000 acre estate’s lakes together to release some Chinese lanterns.

The wedding itself will kick off with a lavish breakfast followed by a group workout, with partying set to last well into the early hours.

Guests in attendance include Love Island’s Callum Jones and Code Of Silence star Kieron Moore, who have shared glimpses of the wedding on social media.

A source said: ‘There really has been no expense spared for Max and Kris.

‘Every detail has been taken care of with only the most stylish and chic things for their big day. It’s something for their friends and family to remember forever.

‘There’s nothing garish, it’s all very classy and about them as a couple celebrating with those closest to them.’

The couple previously starred as brothers on Emmerdale, with Kris starring as Lee Posner and Max as Luke Posner.

Despite never having shared a scene together in Emmerdale, backstage a friendship developed and then romance blossomed.

Announcing the news of their 2022 engagement Max wrote on Instagram: ‘He deserves the world, but the best I could do was promise him my heart. HE SAID YES’.

‘Happiest moment of my life. @krismoc my Fiancé.’

The couple celebrated with champagne on the beach and shared a sweet kissing snap in the post.

Max also posted a short video which shows him getting down on one knee with the ring, before they celebrate together with a kiss and a hug.

Kris wrote in his engagement announcement post: ‘The beautiful soul that is my best friend asked me to marry him yesterday. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am.

‘I love him beyond words, we laugh every single day and I’m so so grateful that he came in to my life.

‘I had no idea at all! But it was just perfect… I mean this film says it all. Max had asked my Mum for any jewellery that my Gran had. Mum still had my Grans locket and he has had it made in to the middle of the engagement ring on the inside. So so special.

‘Thank you to the job that brought us together, our incredible family and friends. And the amazing love from you all. I’m a very lucky boy. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!’

In 2020, Max shared his coming out story, after confirming his romance with co-star Kris, asserting: ‘I feel comfortable now knowing that I am gay!’

Max quit Emmerdale in 2022 and has gone onto star in Vampire Academy and Doctor Who and will soon appear in Netflix’s next big dramatic comedy from the late legendary producer Norman Lear, Boots, later this year.

Kris, who first found fame on Brookside, has starred in Vera and The Long Shadow while also working in events.
