Jamie's Wedding Snub: Why Was Spencer Left Out?

Fans of *Made in Chelsea* were shocked to discover that Jamie Laing did not invite his best friend and co-star Spencer Matthews to his wedding to Sophie Habboo. Laing admitted that he fked up and that the snub was the result of a miscommunication. Laing explained that he believed Matthews and his wife, Vogue Williams, were going to be away on holiday in Portugal at the time of his wedding.

Jamie assumed Spencer and Vogue were on holiday in Portugal

Jamie Laing has revealed that he assumed his close friend and Made in Chelsea co-star Spencer Matthews would be on holiday in Portugal with his wife Vogue Williams and so didn't invite him to his wedding.

Laing and his partner Sophie Habboo got married in a civil ceremony in London in April 2023, before a second wedding in Spain. Laing explained on his NearlyWeds podcast that the oversight was due to a "miscommunication" and that he "fked up".

Laing said: "I thought Spen and Vogue were away. Actually, Sophie took over and said, 'Are they coming?' and I said, 'No, they're in Portugal'. And I didn't send out an invite... for you guys to come."

Matthews, who was indeed in Portugal with his family at the time, said he was devastated by the snub, explaining: "You're my best friend in the world. Which is why I think it hurt so much. For your wedding, I would fly three times around the world to come to it because I care about you so much."

Laing apologised, saying: "I [expletive] up."

Spencer was devastated and hurt by the snub

Spencer Matthews was left devastated and hurt after his best friend, Jamie Laing, failed to invite him to his wedding. Matthews, who was on holiday in Portugal with his family at the time of the ceremony, faced harsh criticism from fans, who claimed he had snubbed the wedding. However, it turned out that he was never invited in the first place.

Matthews and his wife, Vogue Williams, were notably absent from the guest list, which came as a shock to many, as the two men have been close friends since their teenage years. The reality TV stars have been co-stars on the E4 series "Made in Chelsea" and have a long history together.

Matthews was deeply upset by the snub, and his wife revealed that she had never seen him so hurt. He considered Jamie to be his "best friend in the world" and expressed his willingness to fly multiple times around the world to attend his wedding. The situation was a result of a miscommunication, as Jamie thought Matthews was away on holiday and didn't send him an invitation.

Taking to their podcast, "Spencer & Vogue," the couple set the record straight, stating that they were thrilled for Jamie and his wife, Sophie Habboo, but they simply didn't know about the wedding as they were not invited. Matthews expressed his confusion, as Jamie had initially told him that the wedding would be a small, intimate affair.

The situation caused a strain on their friendship, and Matthews revealed that he was "quite pissed off" about the entire ordeal. He considered Jamie to be his best friend and would have made every effort to attend the wedding if he had been invited.

Jamie apologised and took full responsibility for the mix-up

Jamie Laing has taken full responsibility for the mix-up regarding why he didn't invite his best friend, Spencer Matthews, to his wedding.

Laing admitted that the oversight was a miscommunication and that he "fked up". He explained that he didn't extend an invitation to Matthews and his wife, Vogue Williams, because he knew they were going to be away on holiday in Portugal at the time of his wedding.

Laing said, "I fked up. We had our wedding, our civil ceremony in the UK. It was a hectic process. Amongst the hecticness of getting people there and things like that, I thought Spen and Vogue were away."

Laing's now-wife, Sophie Habboo, had questioned him about whether Matthews and Williams would be attending, to which he confirmed that they wouldn't be as they were in Portugal.

Laing further admitted that he had hoped Williams would be supportive of the mistake, but she was upset by the oversight. He said, "I sent Vogue a message – and what was really bad is I said, 'Vogue, well I hope I can get support', and Vogue went, 'To be honest, Jamie, it's not good'. And I was like, 'Fk'."

Williams confirmed that Matthews was "very upset" by the mix-up, especially as he received criticism from fans who accused him of deliberately snubbing the wedding.

Laing has since apologised publicly to Matthews, saying, "I [expletive] up," and calling Matthews "one of my greatest friends in the whole world".

Spencer and Vogue were bombarded with criticism for missing the wedding

Spencer Matthews and his wife Vogue Williams were bombarded with criticism for missing the wedding of his best friend and Made in Chelsea co-star Jamie Laing.

Jamie and Sophie were also not invited to Spencer and Vogue's wedding

Laing and Habboo, who got married in April 2023, attended Matthews and Williams' London wedding party the following year in September 2019, which was filmed for the E4 reality show "Spencer, Vogue and Wedding Two."

On the "Spencer & Vogue" podcast, the couple admitted they were unhappy about the criticism they received for not attending Laing and Habboo's wedding. They clarified that they were "in no way fighting" with the couple and hoped they had a great wedding day.

Laing took responsibility for the oversight, saying, "I fd up. We had our wedding, our civil ceremony in the UK. It was a hectic process." He explained that he thought Matthews and Williams were away on holiday in Portugal and, thus, did not send them an invitation.
