Ray Winstone gushed that his daughter Jaime’s wedding in Sicily last year was the “most incredible weekend” of his life and gave insight into Monday’s big day.
The actor, 67, proudly walked his daughter Jaime, 38, down the aisle when she married her husband James Suckling in a lavish ceremony last October and said it was “different to the norm”.
Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV daytime talk show, she revealed that the big day was “a lot of money” but was worth every penny because they had so much fun.
The Sweeney star detailed how the reception was much more “relaxed” than a normal one because they made the speeches more informal.
Ray said, “The crazy thing about weddings is that getting married costs a lot of money and I’d rather give them the money for a house or something that will last.”

“But it was worth every penny, it was fantastic.” You know it was actually the most amazing weekend I’ve ever had. His friends were fantastic and helped a lot.
‘It was just the most enjoyable weekend. For the speeches we said what we wanted and we got up when we wanted, we sang, we drank, it was a different type of wedding from the norm. “It was very relaxed.”
