EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has revealed her huge wedding plans after being with fiancé Marc Humphreys for almost a decade.
The soap star, 40, got engaged to the cameraman in 2015 after just a year of dating but the pair have remained engaged for eight years. Natalie has admitted she's been 'indecisive' about the type of wedding she wants and swings between wanting a huge white wedding and wanting something really simple and 'really easy'.
However, the BBC star says whatever happens, she and her partner Marc will 'get their close family together' at a 'lovely' location in London. She revealed: "I do think we’ll get our close family together at a lovely place in London, go to a restaurant and have a big party afterwards." Speaking about when she wants to get married, Natalie added: "Ten years would be a brilliant time to do it. Either 10 years together or 10 years engaged."

Natalie had two public relationships over the years. The first relationship was with Adam Cottrell with whom she was on and off for several years from 2009, splitting for good in 2013. While the relationship didn't go the way Natalie had hoped, she did get her beloved daughter, Eliza from it. Natalie went on to find her 'soulmate' in BBC cameraman Marc - who she met in 2014 and he worked on several episodes of EastEnders from 2015 to 2022.

Natalie and Marc got engaged in 2015 and a few months later in February 2016, Natalie announced they were expecting a child. She gave birth to her second daughter, Joanie. The pair are still engaged and haven't tied the knot yet, but Natalie often gives updates into their life at home.
In one Instagram post, she shared her happiness with Marc, saying: "It doesn't really matter what's going on as long as we have each other." In another post she discussed motherhood, claiming she had "cracked" being a mum. One thing I do love and feel I've cracked, is being a mum. I'm not saying I'm perfect at it, nobody is.
"But I love my kids so much. I miss them when I'm not with them. I love getting home with them after school, and cooking their dinner and doing homework and baths. Yes, I moan at them and shout sometimes. Yes, they drive me mad at times. But we play games. We put music on and dance around the kitchen. We laugh together. I have a responsibility to raise these two humans to the best of my ability. So far, they are polite. They are kind. And they eat vegetables and love @eltonjohn and @bbcradio2. What more can I do?"
