Overview
- Gemma Monk, whose Essex wedding was ruined by black paint in May 2024, now plans a repeat ceremony at Oakwood House on the same date next year and will consider hiring security.
- Antonia Eastwood was convicted of criminal damage in April 2026 and received a 10-month suspended term, unpaid work, a 10-year restraining order and a £5,000 compensation order.
- Her family has launched a GoFundMe to replace ruined dresses and help pay for the new event.
- Monk says the attack shattered her relationship with her brother, who later married Eastwood.
- At trial, Eastwood alleged she acted in retaliation for a slight at her own wedding, a claim Monk rejects.
