Sunday 5 June 2022 04:01 PM Billi Mucklow and Andy Carroll MARRY! Couple finally tie the knot in Hampshire trends now

Billi Mucklow and Andy Carroll finally married in a Hampshire hotel wedding on Sunday - just days after the footballer's raucous antics in Dubai.

The couple tied the knot at 3pm at Hampshire's Four Seasons Hotel after a tumultuous build-up which saw drama erupt when photos emerged of the sportsman passed out in bed with two women on his stag do. 

The couple chose a traditional all-white theme for their lavish wedding ceremony at the five star hotel - and exchanged vows surrounded by displays of white roses during the ceremony, which took place in a spectacular 16th century walled garden.

Even the persistent drizzle didn’t put a dampener on the occasion after organisers hastily put up a white gazebo to keep all the guests dry during the ceremony. The ceremony began with live music as a woman singer paid a romantic tribute to the couple.

Billi, 34, and Andy, 33, then exchanged wedding vows in the intimate setting.

Rows and rows of bottles of £100 champagne were discreetly lined up on trestle tables behind a tall hedge as cheers rang out from the congregation when the happy couple were declared man and wife.

Just days ago it seemed touch and go as to whether the long-planned event would take place after the former England striker ended up in bed with two blondes following a 17-hour drinking session during his stag-do in Dubai.

Former TOWIE  star Bill fled from the couple’s home and took refuge at her parents’ house and removed her £200,000 engagement ring in the run up to the big day.

Ex-Newcastle United and Liverpool star Andy appeared to be on his best behaviour at the event attended by 200 family and friends.

Among the guests were the couple’s three children Arlo, six, Wolf, four, and 21-month old daughter Marvel Mae, along with Carroll’s daughter Emilie Rose, 12, and Lucas, 11, from a previous relationship.

Emilie Rose served as one of Billi’s bridesmaids for the occasion.

The hotel, set in 500 acres of rolling countryside, provided a quintessentially British location for the event which coincided with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.

The property was once owned by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon stayed there when she first arrived in Britain from Spain in 1501.

The hotel has 133 rooms which start at around £600-a-night while the top rated Royal suite costs a whopping £6,000.   

Earlier in the day a floral display for Billi and Andy's wedding was set up on Sunday morning ahead of the couple's weekend wedding at the Four Seasons hotel in Hampshire.

A large marquee has been set up on the grounds of the hotel ahead of the ceremony while workmen were seen arranging flowers nearby.

Dozens of white roses were placed near the marquee while workmen were also seen hoisting up several angel's breath plants. 

A walkway was covered in a grey sheet ahead of the ceremony with plants placed on either side. 

The former Newcastle and Liverpool striker couldn't have been more relaxed as he arrived at the Four Seasons hotel to prepare for the big day.

The couple arrived together at the luxury five-star hotel on Saturday as staff have been busy setting up an outdoor aisle, where the pair they will tie the knot.

They looked relaxed as they dropped their Porsche 4x4 car off at valet parking before heading off to separate rooms for the night before their wedding.

Andy quickly made the most of the facilities at their secluded country retreat as he headed off to the hotel's indoor family swimming pool, according to onlookers.

He was seen having a splashing time with a couple of pals as he relaxed ahead of his impending nuptials.

An onlooker said: 'He looked very chilled out and relaxed. He certainly doesn't seem to be having any last minute nerves or anything like that.

'Mr Carroll and his guests all seem to be enjoying themselves.'

Staff were busy preparing for tomorrow's big event with brightly coloured bouquets of flowers being lined up ready for the celebration.

Rows of gold chairs were set up in a luxurious garden on either side of a raised white aisle, where Andy and Billi will tie the knot in an outdoor ceremony.

Huge event trucks from The Big Events & Marquee Co were also seen drawing up to the lavish hotel as preparations for the big day gathered pace.

Up to 200 guests are expected to attend the lavish event with the hotel closed to visitors for the weekend.

The hotel has 133 rooms which start at around £600-a-night while the top rated Royal suite costs a whopping £6,000.

Organisers promise to make the couple's 'dream wedding come to life' with five elegant event rooms and a variety of 'magical outdoor venues' to help 'celebrate the historic beauty and natural wonder' of the 500-acre estate. 

It comes after Andy is believed to have banned his groomsmen from making 'three-in-a-bed' jokes at his wedding to Billi after his stag-do antics.

The footballer is still set to tie the knot with the former TOWIE star despite Billi being seen without her £200,000 engagement ring on earlier this week.

She was said to be 'struggling' over their impending wedding day after Andy was pictured asleep next to a blonde barmaid, and it was revealed he had also slept beside a second woman on his stag-do.

Ahead of his nuptials, Andy has reportedly banned his groomsmen from making 'three-in-a-bed' jokes or speaking of the raucous Dubai stag-do at all on the big day.

'Andy has warned his groomsmen that there are to be no jokes about Dubai, let alone any talk of the stag at the wedding,' a source told The Sun.

'Billi is still quietly fuming about everything that went on and she's warned Andy that he should do everything not to ruin their big day.'
