Great British Baking Show fans got a pleasant surprise on Tuesday (May 6) when Season 15 finalist Christiaan de Vries revealed he and his castmates recently reunited for a fellow contestant’s wedding.
De Vries, who finished as runner-up to Georgie Grasso in the 2024 season, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a gallery of photos from the wedding of fellow contestant Mike Wilkins, who tied the knot with his partner Matt Greenwood on Saturday (May 3).
“Too many golden BTS moments not to share. One of the most joyful weddings I’ve been to — and the full GBBO squad reunited… in a tent, of course. Some things never change!
” De Vries wrote. “Swipe for hugs, cake, and chaos.”
The photos show the reality baking show cast gathered at the Nolands Farm in Wiltshire, where the colorful wedding took place. De Vries is seen posing for pictures with his castmates Grasso, Illiyin Morrison, Dylan Bachelet, Nelly Ghaffar, Sumayah Kazi, Gill Howard, John Mincher, Hazel Vaughan, and Andy Ryan.
Other images show the cast enjoying the wedding reception meal under a Baking Show style tent and watching a firework display over the fields.
De Vries also shared a video montage of the special day, including the guests taking a tractor ride to the venue. He also shared, “We were all asked to bring pudding, so I made this little wedding cake, but it was quite scary to take it on a long road trip to the farm. But it got there all right.”
