Former Love Island contestants Molly Smith and Tom Clare, who got engaged in September last year, are now co-hosting the Nearlyweds podcast, chronicling their journey from engagement to marriage. During our virtual interview in April, they mentioned that their wedding was just four months away.

Tom expressed how quickly the wedding preparations had progressed, sharing that the reality of the upcoming nuptials hit him when he went to pick up his ring. For Molly, the moment of realization came while trying on wedding dresses, making the whole experience feel surreal.

Initially considering France or Spain for their destination wedding, the couple eventually settled on Spain for their summer 2026 ceremony after exploring potential venues in both countries. Molly explained that the decision was made after visiting venues in Spain, where they both felt a strong connection.

Although Molly and Tom gained fame from their appearance on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, they have decided to keep their wedding day free of any references to the show. However, Tom humorously suggested incorporating a “heart rate challenge” and a “recoupling speech” during the vows.

The couple shared that their wedding will be a blend of tradition and personal touches, with Molly emphasizing a relaxed approach to the ceremony. They are focused on achieving glowing and healthy skin for the big day, experimenting with various skincare products and beauty gadgets like the Shark Pro Glow and Medicube.

Molly revealed that her maid of honor and best friend will be handling her makeup on the wedding day, showcasing a mix of high-end and affordable beauty products. Tom emphasized the importance of feeling and looking their best on the special day, highlighting the significance of a good setting powder in the warm climate.

Fans of Molly and Tom can now follow their wedding journey on the Nearlyweds podcast, where the couple navigates the challenges of wedding planning. Tom expressed gratitude for their loyal followers and acknowledged the support they have received from their fans since their time on Love Island, emphasizing their commitment to sharing their experiences with their audience.
