'Having her [Holly's] family there for the support and the love they have for us is incredible but Gordon is never going to find it hard to make the room laugh.

Gordon, 59, has completed a number of Ironman and ultramarathon events in recent years and Adam said: '[He's] very inspiring.'
He said: 'I think for him it's obviously a very different way of life in terms of the business he has to do and the businesses he has to run.
'I take a lot of guidance. I look up to him a lot... in [terms of] sport, he knows the game is the game, that it doesn't lie. But it will humble you and you've got to work hard for those results.'
Gordon has insisted to the Daily Mail that he didn't say anything rude about Adam's family.
He said: 'I was told we were accused of saying inappropriate things. Nothing at all was said that was inappropriate, I promise you.

'They were the bits I really worked on.
'I paid tribute to Holly, then welcomed Adam into the family: "I know you’ll give Holly all the love she deserves, but be aware that her twin, Jack, is a Royal Marine. I know you can swim fast, but he has a boat with a big f****** gun on it!"
'Light-hearted stuff like that.'
Adam tied the knot with the TV chef's eldest daughter Holly, 26, at Bath Abbey in December in attendance.
Earlier this year, the Ramsays unveiled their new six-part documentary, which .
Prior to the documentary's release, Caroline demanded that she be removed from the footage, even though she was seen in a fleeting scene.
Since the documentary was unveiled, Gordon revealed Adam's new moniker for him, saying: 'He calls me dad. He messaged me and said, "Hey dad, what have you got? Hey dad, are you around later?" And it's just like, "Oh my God". Incredible.'
Meanwhile Holly and Adam are reportedly being morphed into the next power couple by their pals David and '.
They recently starred in a joint date night campaign for perfume brand INFINIMENT COTY PARIS - harking back to the Beckhams' racy joint perfume ventures.
The 'young and marketable' couple are said to have some very high profile couples helping advise them on the best way to build a brand; the Beckhams and Holly's parents, the Ramsays.
'Adam and Holly are quietly shaping up to be the next big luxury power couple,' a source said.
'As Adam starts to consider a career post-swimming, he's signed with Holly's influencer agency, Hypesight, and the plan is for their careers to be managed with a more coordinated commercial strategy rather than as separate lanes.'
The source added to The Sun: 'And of course they have the benefit of being advised by the OGs… both the Beckhams and the Ramsays.'
In their campaign video, the pair were seen getting dressed to the nines as they prepared to head out on a date night.
The video appeared to take inspiration from Victoria and David's former perfume brand Intimately Beckham - for which they regularly posed for intimate campaigns.
Adam captioned the Date night is a ritual of allure — a moment to embody confidence and connection. For us, it begins with our scent. Encore une Fois & Après L’Amour Les Osmiums are the perfect duo.
Encore Une Fois, an addictive vanilla elixir with an ambre triple infusion is my go to. Holly’s scent is Après L’Amour is, a mix of Tobacco accord, vanilla and ginger it’s long lasting and leaves a hint of spiciness.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Adam and Holly and the Beckhams for comment.
