Heston Blumenthal has married for the third time
Heston Blumenthal married his girlfriend Melaine Ceysson last weekend on March 25 in an intimate formal ceremony in the village’s wedding hall.
The wedding ceremony took place in Ceysson’s native in Provence, France.
As for the reception, the newlywed couple invited around 60 guests including Heston’s chef pals, Raymond Blanc, who owns Michelin-star restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, and Great British Menu judge Matthew Fort.
According to Daily Mail, guests were treated to a number of Heston’s signature restaurant dishes, including jelly of oyster and passion fruit, triple-cooked chips, Scotch eggs, and meat fruit.
Blanc told the outlet,
“Ever since Heston did an all-too-brief week in my kitchen, I’ve loved his fire and creativity. Over the years he’s helped me improve, and I hope I’ve also helped him. That’s our special bond, so, of, course, I had to be here.”
The wedding news comes almost three months after the pair announced their engagement. Blumenthal revealed in January,
“I have found my other half. I am going to get officially married to Melanie.”
The celebrity chef, 56, met Ceysson while she was working at a hotel in Val-d’Isere, the ski resort in the French Alps. Blumenthal was staying there for a Christmas holiday at the time with his table tennis coach.
