It has already been dubbed the wedding of the year - albeit by ex TOWIE star Lauren Goodger, but Katie Price and Kieran Hayler's big day certainly appeared to go off with a bang.
Pregnant Katie opted for four-star Rookery Manor in Weston-Super-Mare for her fourth wedding - with the £2,000 package a far cry from the 34-year-old's typical lavish style.
Sources said the day was emotional with part-time stripper Kieran, 26, crying as he said his vows in the Indian temple erected specially inside the spa hotel.

Katie, who looked radiant in a High Street strapless gown and tiara, drew gasps from the celebrity studded guests when she walked down the aisle.
A source told The Sun: 'Kieran was overwhelmed with happiness. It was very romantic and him crying made everyone else well up. Katie looked incredible.'
Celebrity guests included Michelle Heaton, Rylan Clark, members of the TOWIE cast and WAGS including Danielle O'Hara.

Katie looked radiant as she arrived on Good Friday ahead of her wedding blessing to husband Kieran.
While her outfit was concealed by several large umbrellas, Katie, 34, appeared to have gone for an understated look when it came to her hair and make-up.
Just moments before Katie's arrival her husband-to-be was whisked into the seaside resort, Kieran looked nervous yet excited as he prepared to tie the knot with his pregnant fiancée.

The rest of the ceremony was a less than understated event, with the model apparently choosing a Willy Wonka theme for the nuptials.
Katie, 34, walked down the aisle in an off the hanger dress she is believed to have bought locally, shunning big designer names along with more glamorous locations.

The brief ceremony, which involved 13 bridesmaids and a Gospel choir, was followed by an extravagant reception in a room which looked like something out of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Tables were adorned with vases of sweets and giant multi-coloured lollipops instead of floral centre-pieces, and giant sweets were specially made to decorate the room.
The three-course menu included Caribbean dishes in a nod to their first wedding in the Bahamas, and a vast drinks menu for guests meant the celebrations continued well into the early hours of this morning.

Katie and Kieran stayed in the honeymoon suite with a four-poster bed and hot-tub, but admittedly the hotel Is much more modest than Katie is used to.
Wedding packages there start from just £2,000, while the relatively small grounds are surrounded by nothing but fields, while busy M5 motorway is within earshot.
One source revealed: 'The whole thing has been run like a military operation. She booked it two weeks ago and the hotel has been on lock down for two days with security very tight.

'It's not the kind of thing you expect someone with her means to marry, but maybe she's tired of the extravagance and glamour and wanted something different.
'Even so, it was certainly very colourful and slightly eccentric.'
Prior to the ceremony, Katie had been tweeting her excitement over the nuptials by posting the lyrics to a Billy Idol song, called White Wedding.
She wrote: 'As billy would say, it's a nice day for a... X.'

She told BANG Showbiz: 'One thing I always say is, wouldn't it be nice to ride to my own wedding? But who knows what will happen. I'll just turn up.
'Everyone seems to know more than me about my wedding - but an equestrian theme, I'd love to do that.'
