Dani has let fans into her big day that took place in a purpose-built glass marquee in the Buckinghamshire, although the ceremony itself took place outside to make the most of the sunny weather. After a picture=perfect ceremony, it seems dad Danny set the tone for the rest of the night. An X-rated footie chant about the couple broke out with the former EastEnder leading it. Footage from the newlyweds reception emerged on social media showing family and friends serenading the couple with West Ham fans' favourite chant: "Bowen's on fire... and he's s******* Dani Dyer." Guests swirled white serviettes above their heads as it was belted out inside a glass marquee as the couple giggled along. To really get into the party spirit, Dani decided to change out of her floor-length gown into something more dancefloor ready. She looked sensational in a lace mini dress with matching sleeves, having taken a moment to switch out her gowns before returning to her wild bash. Dani reunited with husband Jarrod on the dancefloor following her quick outfit change as they shared a passionate kiss surrounded by their closest friends and family. After a late night partying with a live band, guests could help themselves to take away pizzas. The boxes were specially made for the day and said 'D&J that's amore' on them. Around 60 people are said to have attended the ceremony, where the pair were showered in white confetti before both Jarrod and Dani's dad Danny gave emotional speeches. The dancefloor was kicked off by a touching moment between Dani and Danny as the actor held back tears during their routine. In a behind-the-scenes wedding reel shared to Instagram, Danny looked as though he could cry as he embraced daughter Dani on the dance floor. A rendition of Ray Charles' song Georgia On My Mind could be heard playing during the touching moment. In the lead up to the wedding, Danny said: 'I have met every single boyfriend that has walked through my door - and then she brings home the West Ham captain. "I have gone from the lying scum, and I hate them, to a man who I would not mind tonguing myself! A strong man. If he lent in I would put my lips on this geezer. 'He is just, as a father and joking aside, he took her on with a 14 month old son and that says a lot about a man I will tell you. He is amazing. I can't wait to give her away. What a touch. But if he was to make a move on me before… "I think I'm in love with him, slightly. He's an incredible person. I just want someone to love my daughters the way I do. I want them to worship them and look after them. Let me tell you that. I love him.' Aside from dad Danny, other famous faces are thought to have included Jarrod's former West Ham United team-mate Declan Rice and Love Island's Georgia Steel and Georgia Kousoulou.
