The 48-year-old actress reveals they prefer to use their money for world travel rather than a costly wedding. Keep scrolling for more details!

She mentioned that she just doesn’t get why so many influencers are so eager to spend big bucks on a perfect engagement announcement picture. She remarked on how traditional engagements involving proposing on one knee and asking for a parent’s blessing seem to be a thing of the past.

Riley criticised the exorbitant costs of weddings, which have surged significantly since the pandemic. She stated, “People don’t get engaged nowadays; they get Insta-engaged. They spend £400 on the right backdrop for their Instagram picture.” She expressed frustration at the trend of needing balloon arches for these social media announcements.

ITV star also shared that she and Al recently marked their tenth anniversary, with Al planning an incredibly beautiful surprise for the occasion. She mentioned that if they were to spend that amount of money, they would choose to visit Japan and explore new experiences.

According to her, true wealth is not about financial status but about exploring the world and discovering new things together. She declared, “Travel is a big thing for us both.” Also, independence is a core part of their identities. When they go to the bank, they refer to each other as ‘my wife’ and ‘my husband.’They use these terms; the only difference now is that she wears an engagement ring instead of a wedding band. Indeed, Lisa’s take on wedding trends is refreshingly unconventional. For more updates on Emmerdale, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily! What are your opinions about the same? Share in the comments below!
