Craig Gordon and Summer Harl's relationship from Celtic colleagues to blended family
The couple, who met at Celtic Football Club, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last week. Craig Gordon and his fiancee Summer Harl tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last week after being together for eight years. Yesterday, former Celtic TV presenter Summer shared the news that she and the Hearts goalkeeper had got married surrounded by their friends and family. She wrote: "Mr & Mrs Gordon. 17.07.25. We did it!" The couple share two young sons together, Ace and Axel, and also two daughters from Craig's previous marriage. Let's take a look back at their relationship timeline after they met while both working for Celtic Football Club... Meeting at Celtic Craig and Summer initially met when they both worked at Celtic TV. Craig was the club's goalkeeper and Summer was the main host of Celtic TV. They didn't start dating until after Summer departed her role. When the now dad-of-four left the club, Summer paid tribute to him on Instagram and shared a sweet snap of them both in the Celtic TV studio. She penned: "Hard to put six years into a caption, especially after you did it so eloquently. "But I'm so proud of all you have achieved. You arrived as someone who had just spent two years out, unsure of how things would go. You leave with some incredible memories and as the most decorated goalkeeper the club has had. "It's been amazing to watch you do this. From the Celtic TV studio, from the stands, and from our home. Thank you for letting me be part of this story. An Invincible, and a great pro... it's been quite the comeback CG. Here's to you, and to what awaits... we love you." Blended family Before Craig and Summer got together, he and his ex-wife Jennifer welcomed two daughters, Emma and Freya. After they split and Craig met Summer, she took on the role of stepmother to the two girls, and she has regularly shared updates about their life as a blended family on her social media profiles. Summer has an incredible relationship with the girls and is often seen on Instagram taking them to concerts and other outings. Speaking about Mother's Day previously, Summer said: "We all know you don't need to be a mother to really be a mother. Sometimes we give too much credit to biology. Parenthood requires love, not DNA. There are the most incredible people leading, inspiring, nurturing, and mothering in all kinds of ways. "Teachers, carers, friends, nurses, step-parents, godparents, doctors and fathers going it alone - they all mother us. And so on this Mother's Day, if you're one of those people - celebrate yourself for offering a little slice of mothering to whoever is in your life!" Before they welcomed their sons, Summer told her followers that the couple had been trying for a baby for 'quite some time'. In a blog post she answered a question asking if the pair were planning on having kids together, and she revealed she suffered from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) so had faced some challenges. Summer said: "Yes absolutely, We would love to grow our family. We have been trying for quite a long time. I have PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) so we have been working our way through that for almost a year. It's really tough, but something that will work out one day." In April 2021, Craig and Summer welcomed their son Ace and in April the following year they announced that they were expecting another child. Axel Ever Gordon was born in September 2022. The blended family of six are often spotted on Summer's Instagram enjoying family trips, holidays and days out. Intimate wedding In January 2023, Summer revealed that the pair had gotten engaged in a sweet post. Sharing a video with the caption 'Mrs Gordon to be', the clips shows the couple's two sons and Craig's daughters slowly removing their hands one-by-one to reveal a beautiful sparking oval shaped halo ring. The couple got engaged in secret in December 2022 just days before Craig suffered a horrific injury after breaking both his legs. In the post, Summer wrote: "Just over a month ago, all these hands - big and small, had a hand in the BEST moment. 21.12.22. "A lot has happened since, and almost immediately after, so we decided to hold off celebrating for a bit, but sharing this (happier) news with family and friends has been so lovely. YES x 1,000,000. "Mrs Gordon to be! X" And just last night, Summer announced that they tied the knot surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The bride wore a gorgeous short blazer style dress, whilst groom Craig wore a smart black tuxedo. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Mix 8 tbsp plain flour, 2 tbsp table salt, 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 60ml of warm water in a bowl until a dough forms. Split into three and add a dash of food colouring to each dough ball and knead. Store in old, clean yoghurt pots or airtight containers. Old cereal boxes can be turned into a canvas to paint, while toilet rolls can become binoculars when taped together and decorated. Head to Poundland for PVA glue, tape and paint sets for £1 if you don't have them already. Keep everything in a storage box, ready for dull days. CLEVER COLOURING: Printable activities are a lifesaver and has an amazing selection of free activity kits and animal colouring-in sheets.
