Emily Atack, the 36-year-old actress known for her role in "The Inbetweeners," married scientist Dr. Alistair Garner for the second time on September 12, 2026. The ceremony took place in the courtyard of a 16th-century church in the hilltop town of Mojacar, Spain, with 197 friends and family in attendance.
Atack arrived for her second wedding in a vintage red Cadillac, accompanied by her chief bridesmaid. Her father, pop star Keith Atack, walked her down the aisle. The registrar noted the déjà vu, referencing their first wedding three weeks prior in Bedfordshire.
For the Spanish ceremony, Atack wore an off-the-shoulder bridal gown with a long train and a veil. Guests were treated to a three-course meal following the ceremony, with options including cod risotto or mandarin sorbet for starters, and shredded suckling pig with pumpkin compote for the main course. Dessert was mango mousse with nougat ice cream.
The celebration drew a number of notable guests, including actors David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Rufus Jones, Bella Maclean, and Victoria Smurfitt, many of whom are castmates from the show "Rivals." Also in attendance were "The Inbetweeners" writer Dominic Treadwell-Collins and producer Felicity Tucci, along with her husband, actor Stanley.
Comedians Keith Lemon and Katherine Ryan were present, with Ryan reportedly enjoying oysters before the ceremony. ITV's "Love Island" voice-over artist Ian Stirling and his wife Laura Whitmore were also among the guests.
The wedding took place amid sweltering 30-degree heat, leading to guests seeking shade under parasols and standing due to a lack of chairs. The registrar also mentioned a slight delay in the bride's arrival. Atack, who has a two-year-old son with Garner, has previously stated her dream was to marry in Mojacar, a place she frequented during childhood summers at her father's property.
Notable absences included Aidan Turner and Danny Dyer. The report mentions that Atack's ITV gameshow with Dyer, "Nobody's Fool," was dropped after one season. The article also touches on past reports of Atack's potential absence from a planned "The Inbetweeners" anniversary special, citing an alleged ultimatum from co-star James Buckley.
