Any Katie Price wedding is sure to go off with a bang and her fourth was no exception - after an elaborate firework display in the grounds of Rookery Manor set fire to a nearby tree.

Earlier in the day, a Katie and her stripper beau sat on golden thrones as the former glamour model made a solemn vow to her 170 wedding guests on Good Friday - promising this marriage would be her last as she was 'not going to be like Liz Taylor.'

In an emotional wedding speech the pregnant businesswoman promised guests, which included Michelle Heaton, Lauren Goodger and her three children, that her marriage to part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran Hayler would last.

The morning after: Katie Price and new husband Kieran Hayler jumped into her bright pink Range Rover the morning after their nuptials at Rookery Manor in Weston-Super-Mare

Guests have spoken out about the day, which businesswoman Katie kept under strict wraps - and revealed the groom wept at his new wife's emotional speech and went on to joke in his own: 'Usually when I see a crowd like this I'm taking my clothes off.'

And The Sun On Sunday revealed the day certainly ended with some drama after an impressive firework display set fire to a nearby tree at around 10pm - it was quickly extinguished by firefighters.

Sources reported Katie, who is three-months pregnant, walked down the aisle in a dress she designed herself, complete with an ostrich-feather bodice and silk skirt, which was encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

Her five-year-old daughter Princess strode ahead of her throwing rose petals from a basket as sons Junior, seven, and Harvey, 10, followed as page boys.

As the couple stood under a specially crafted ivory and crystal wedding canopy readings were given by Katie's siblings.

It seems Katie's past weddings were not off the agenda as her brother Daniel joked he almost mixed up his notes with those of her 2005 nuptials to Peter Andre.

Katie and Kieran sat on elaborate golden thrones while flanked by giant sweets for the reception - a nod to Victoria and David Beckham's wedding - apart from the fact that this ceremony was in Weston-Super-Mare.

The theme of the food was 'kids meals' and guests tucked into sausages and mash, washed down with sticky toffee pudding.

As the free-bar party got started an elaborate firework display kicked off.

One guest told The Sun: 'After dinner entertainment included a firework display that unfortunately set fire to a nearby tree.'

Guests were then treated to a rendition of Vanessa Williams' 1992 ballad Save The Best For Last by the bride herself, with Katie reportedly planning on releasing a track as a si ngle later in the year, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.

On Saturday morning the newlyweds tried to go unnoticed as they made their post-wedding exit but unfortunately for Katie and new husband Kieran low profile doesn't really work in a bright pink Range Rover.

The glamour model was spotted slipping into her stand-out car the morning after her Willy Wonka-themed wedding to the 26-year-old part time stripper, flashing her knockout wedding band in the process.

Covering her head in a pink scarf, while new husband wore a matching jumper, Katie, 34, whizzed off with her children in the back and the boot loaded up with gifts.

While Kieran beamed as he hopped into the car, his wife looked a little sheepish, coming over untypically shy as she tried to hide her face.

She hopped into the driver's seat as they headed home after her fourth wedding, which reportedly cost just £2,000, a far cry from her usual lavish lifestyle.

And while stars including Lauren Goodger, Michelle Heaton, Rylan Clark, members of the TOWIE cast and Danielle O'Hara were spotted at the Weston-Super-Mare bash, the bride and groom kept a low profile.

Sources said the day was emotional with Kieran 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.'

Lauren Goodger took to Twitter on Friday evening and shared a snap of herself posing up with the newly married Kieran Hayler and her own boyfriend Jake McLean. 

Revealing the first picture from inside Rookery Manor in Weston-Super-Mare, the former TOWIE star wrote: ‘Wedding of the year.’

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.'

And while she was busy taking pictures of pretty white roses covered in glitter and lilies, employees were concentrating on preparing the venue for her big day.

Men were seen erecting barriers outside of Rookery Manor near Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset on Friday morning.

An Aston Martin was spotted outside the venue, while vans were also present, including a vehicle full or 'props, scenery, sound and lighting.'

Earlier this week, the brunette beauty admitted she would love to have an equestrian-themed nuptials and has always dreamed of riding a horse to her wedding.

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.' 

Horse themed? Katie revealed earlier this week she'd like an equestrian theme, but all will be revealed following the nuptials
