EMMERDALE’S real-life soap couple Max Parker and Kris Mochrie married yesterday in a stunning ceremony but their afterparty took it to another level.
The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair – who met in 2019 while playing brothers in the ITV soap – walked down the aisle in a £100k ceremony.
They hosted a Max Ball for the beginning of their evening

The lads celebrated their nuptials with a lavish multi-day wedding at the exclusive Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk where costs start at a whopping £65,000.
But after an incredible day that saw the couple exchange vows and then enter their wedding reception in an explosion of rainbow smoke, they sat down for an elaborate meal with their 100 plus guests.
Celebrities in attendance included Code of Silence breakout star Kieron Moore and Love Island’s Callum Jones.
A full band played while the guests tucked into their meals outdoors with huge chandeliers keeping them all illuminated.
Handwritten and personalised notes to each guest were laid out along with some wedding favours including Jo Malone goodies and Charbonnel et Walker truffles.
But it was after the meal finished that things got started with the couple hosting their own version of The Met Ball – The Max Ball – with its own swanky red carpet.
And as the sun went down, Kris’ Kiki Klub took over with an incredible night club atmosphere with an A-list girlbander taking to the stage.
The couple surprised their guests with a performance from Girls Aloud icon Nadine Coyle.
A source said: “Everyone went mad when the music began and she walked out on stage.
“They knew Max and Kris were going all out for the wedding but to get pop royalty like Nadine Coyle to perform was next level.

“The couple even ended up on stage as Nadine’s backing dancers as she belted out hit after hit.”
The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair’s relationship developed in 2020 after they both appeared on Emmerdale playing brothers Luke and Lee Posner.
Real-life soap couples
Soaps are renowned for their sweet and scandalous romances – but it’s not just in scripted storylines where love is blossoming. A number of our favourite small-screen actors have fallen for co-stars and soapland rivals when the cameras have stopped rolling.
Max quit the soap in 2022 and has gone on to have success in a host of other shows including Vampire Academy and Doctor Who and will soon star in Netflix’s next big dramatic comedy from the late legendary producer Norman Lear, Boots, later this year.
Kris meanwhile, who first found fame on Brookside, has starred in Vera and The Long Shadow while also building an events business that boasts some huge clients.
