Speaking to OK! magazine, Gemma explained why they still haven’t set a date for their big day.
Originally, she hinted, they had envisioned getting wed when Mia was old enough to be part of the celebrations.
But now Gemma and Gorka wish to wait until Thiago can be involved.
“We’d like Thiago to be involved now so we’re going to have to wait another year or so,” Gemma said.
We’d like Thiago to be involved now so we’re going to have to wait another year or so.
“When we first got engaged we said we’ll get Mia walking down the aisle and then Thiago came along… and there’s no time!”
Additionally, it seems Gemma and Gorka haven’t settled on what kind of wedding they’d be most happy with. For Gemma, family considerations are at the front of her mind.
That’s despite the couple considering having a quiet do. But, as is often the case with family occasions, how others fit in is paramount.
Gemma continued: “We were toying with just going to a registry office and then having a big party after. But I think my mum would like to see me walk down the aisle so no plans yet but one day it will happen.”
