Labour MPs Jeevun Sandher and Louise Jones Celebrate Dual Wedding Ceremonies

London, Aug 28 (PTI) – Jeevun Sandher, one of Britain's newest Parliament members following the Labour Party's sweeping election victory last July, has celebrated his marriage in both a traditional Sikh and a church ceremony with fellow Labour MP, Louise Jones. Sandher, representing Loughborough in the East Midlands, shared photos of the double wedding ceremonies during the summer holiday on social media this Wednesday. The couple's engagement was announced by Lucy Powell, Leader of the House of Commons, in December 2024, nearly two years after they met as fresh faces in the Labour Party during a campaign. “I am delighted to share with you all that, over the summer, I married my wonderful wife, Louise Sandher-Jones,” Sandher expressed in his post. “I met Louise in Loughborough and consider myself very, very lucky. The wedding was the best day of my life. I’m very happy and we’re very excited to start the next chapter of our shared future together,” he added. Louise Jones, the new wife and MP for North East Derbyshire, also informed her constituents via social media about her decision to adopt her husband's surname. “We had a beautiful wedding that brought together traditions from our two different heritages, which made it all the more special as we start the next chapter of our shared future,” she stated. “I will be changing my last name to Sandher-Jones to reflect our new family, so you will see my social media handles start to change over, but you can still contact me on louise.jones.mp@parliament.uk for the time-being with any casework or queries,” she mentioned. In his mid-30s, Sandher was born in Luton, eastern England, to parents who migrated from Punjab. He frequently visits the region with his family. Speaking to PTI shortly after his election last year, the British Sikh MP shared his commitment to bolstering Labour's connection with India and its diaspora communities. “From a personal perspective, I am a part of the Indian diaspora, so I see it as a natural connection for the Labour Party and the incoming Labour government,” he remarked at the time. “I am really proud of my Indian roots and really proud of the way our contribution is reflected and recognised in this country. We watch football and then go for a curry, that is the country we live in, and it says a lot about our culture,” he commented. Sandher now serves as co-chair of the India All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), aiming to reinforce bilateral relations between India and the UK. PTI AK SCY SCY
