Love Island newlyweds Molly Smith and Tom Clare have shared that the 'stress' from their upcoming wedding in Mallorca has begun to set in, after their legal ceremony took a raucous turn.
The couple tied the knot in Manchester's Stockport Town Hall last month, and are set to exchange their vows again in a grand ceremony in Spain in two weeks time.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Molly and Tom admitted they've had a few 'wobbles' while dealing with last-minute preparations for their big day.
The pair also shared how their legal wedding concluded with dinner at The Ivy, which ended with guests 'dancing on tables,' while their best man Casey O'Gorman ended up 'in a heap on the floor'.
Tom and Molly met on the first series of Love Island: All Stars in 2024, and they got engaged in September after he proposed during a trip to Dubai.
Molly said: 'It's got to the stressful part, just because we're weeks out and only because it's invoices being sent and all the last bits that you start to panic about and then you start getting people asking you questions, like texting you.

'So then it starts to get a little bit stressful in that sense. So I have had a little wobble.'
Tom added: 'We just want it all to be perfect, but like you said, there's just like little bits, people asking silly questions.
'It's not too bad, but just because we want it to go so well and we've put time and effort into it. I think we're just about there. You've had a few little meltdowns.'
Agreeing with her partner, Molly said: 'Tom's so chilled. Normally you're super, super chilled, but Tom stress cleans, So I know when you're stressed because you'll go upstairs and start hoovering or something like that!'
Tom and Molly spoke to The Daily Mail while attending Hitched.co.uk's Summer Social Mixer, giving everyone the lowdown on their upcoming wedding.
Hitched.co.uk is the UK’s one-stop shop for wedding suppliers, connecting couples with thousands of trusted vendors, venues, and planning tools to make every stage of the wedding journey easier.
Luckily the couple are in good stead for the big day itself as their legal ceremony was a 'really special and intimate' occasion.
The couple have spoken openly about the wedding planning process with their followers, but shared they wanted to keep details about their UK-based day under wraps.

After they tied the knot, Molly and Tom shared that they headed to The Ivy for a celebratory dinner with close friends and family, but things ended up being more raucous than they expected.
Molly shared: 'It started like so calm and classic. And then by the end of it, Casey was in a heap on the floor. We were on the tables dancing.
'Everyone just went to the Ivy and we just had a private room.'
Tom added: 'As soon as the door shut, everyone just seemed to go mental!'
Sharing insight into her dress from her first big day, Molly said: 'I didn't really have a dress in mind for the legal. I didn't have... any kind of inspiration. I looked a little bit on Pinterest and I knew I wanted a little pillar box hat.
'But apart from that, I had no idea what I wanted to wear for the legal.
'And then I just found that dress and was like, ''oh, simple, it's cute, it's different from the wedding dress.''
'And I thought, I'll just go for that. But I wasn't too fussed to be honest, because I knew it was just going to be super intimate. So yeah, but I did end up really loving the whole little look.'
Like many brides, Molly said she expected a lengthy search for the dress she planned to wear in Mallorca, but ended up choosing the first one she tried on, even leaving her mum and close pals in tears when she found it.
She said: 'Everyone used to say, ''oh, then it's the first dress you try on,'' and I was like, ''it's not going to be.'
'My mum was already stressing, she was thinking, from when I went prom dress shopping all them years ago, she said I was a nightmare.
'So when I walked in the wedding dress shop and the lady said ''right go around and pick some'' I was looking around and I just looked at my mum and my friend and I said ''I don't even know where to start here.'''
'I sent one to my friend on Instagram and then ended up picking out some dresses and the first dress I tried on is the dress that I ended up going for.
'My mum cried, I welled up a bit, Sophie was a bit teary, but I fought it because I thought, ''it can't be, it's because it's the first dress I've ever been in, the first one my Mum's seen me in.''
'And then went to a different shop, went back, tried more on, and then put that one on again. I was like, ''No, it's got to be that one.''
Unlike many Love Island couples, Molly and Tom's relationship has gone the distance, the couple credited 'good communication' as the secret to making things work outside the villa.
Tom said: 'We just have the same interests, we have the same goals, we just... I don't know, we just click.
'We have the same banter, we make each other laugh.'
With the countdown to their main wedding well and truly on, the pair said they are still planning their big honeymoon, but are planning to spend a few extra days in Mallorca after they're married, before heading off for a minimoon together.
Molly added: 'We are doing a few extra days in Mallorca just so that we're not flying home straight away. We kind of want to just soak it in a little bit, don't we?
'And then we are attempting a mini moon, but we haven't booked anything yet, so I don't know when we're going to go.'
