Overview

• Ross Evans hosted the July 23, 2022 celebration at Hopetoun House near Edinburgh while Drew Hoffman joined from Los Angeles via livestream.
• The £35,000 event showed Hoffman on two screens as he delivered a speech, joined the first dance and was carried around the venue on an iPad.
• With a formal ceremony deemed too awkward, the couple skipped the aisle walk and moved straight to the reception, dinner and evening party.
• A Home Office delay alert in April 2022 followed a withdrawn first application and left no reliable way to track progress for months.
• Hoffman’s visa was approved about two weeks later, he flew to Scotland for portraits, was edited into family photos and the pair have since settled in Falkirk running Slay House Glasgow.
