The couple first captured the hearts of audiences when they won the inaugural season of *Love Island: All Stars*. After their engagement in September 2025, just over a year and a half after their reality show triumph, they decided to make their relationship official with a smaller courthouse ceremony. This legal event allowed them to celebrate their commitment while planning a more elaborate celebration for their loved ones.
In an exclusive interview, Smith and Clare expressed their excitement about the upcoming wedding in Mallorca, stating that they fell head over heels for their chosen venue, which boasts a rich history and charm. Smith described the venue as having “so much character” and noted that the couple wanted the day to evoke a timeless atmosphere. Clare echoed her sentiments, assuring that their chosen location exceeds their expectations, and they are enthusiastic about decorating it with thousands of fairy lights to create a magical ambience.
As the couple looks forward to their nuptials, Clare shared his emotions regarding the big day. “I’ll be a wreck,” he admitted, revealing how merely hearing their chosen song for walking down the aisle brought tears to his eyes. The couple has opted to remove their wedding rings ahead of the second ceremony, allowing them to enact that memorable moment again, which Clare finds crucial to truly feeling married.
The celebrations will be attended by several familiar faces from *Love Island*, including Clare’s best man, Casey O’Gorman. Clare pointed out the unique aspect of marrying his reality TV co-star and having a best friend from the show, highlighting the bonds formed during their time on the series.
The planning of this special event hasn’t been without its challenges, as the couple initially parted ways with their first two wedding planners. Clare clarified that there was no drama involved and that it was simply a matter of finding the right fit. They eventually found their third planner, Talia, who has been instrumental in fulfilling Smith’s wedding vision. “She’d send a mood board, and it was exactly what I had imagined,” Smith recalled, referring to her excitement over the collaboration.
As the couple prepares for their big day, Smith emphasised her eagerness for the celebration part of the ceremony, expecting a lively atmosphere with guests ready to enjoy themselves. Reflecting on their legal ceremony, she mentioned it took a spontaneous turn towards the end, filled with dancing and revelry.
The couple’s honeymoon plans are still in the works, with a possible mini-moon on the horizon followed by a safari in South Africa—a nod to the location where their romance blossomed during filming of *Love Island: All Stars*. “It’s a beautiful country, and we want to go back and explore it,” Clare remarked, underscoring their desire to revisit cherished memories from their time together in Cape Town.
Once the festivities conclude, Smith and Clare plan to focus on decorating their newly acquired home, which they consider their “forever home” and a space where they hope to start a family in the future. Furthermore, they are also in discussions about a potential second season of their podcast, *NearlyWeds with Molly and Tom*, which they hope to rebrand as *NewlyWeds*. This aligns with the tradition followed by previous *Love Island* contestants Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.
The couple has embraced the podcasting experience, using it as a vital tool for their wedding planning process and as a platform to share their journey with fans. New episodes of *NearlyWeds with Molly and Tom* are available on YouTube and all podcast platforms, with releases every Tuesday.
As Smith and Clare prepare for their upcoming wedding, the excitement surrounding their love story continues to grow, captivating fans and followers who have been part of their journey from reality television to real-life commitment.
