Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan recently traveled to Dubai for their joint stag and hen dos before their upcoming summer wedding in Italy. The reality star couple decided to celebrate together with their closest friends and family in the United Arab Emirates. The festivities started with a white party on a yacht, where Vicky stunned in a white bikini and personalized veil. The couple, who got engaged in February 2022, were joined by loved ones, including Vicky’s mum Carol and friend Gavin Foord. The yacht party was filled with lavish details, including shots with personalized labels and coconuts containing cocktails with their names on them.
Vicky didn’t have much time to prepare for the hen do, as she had her personalized veil made in just 45 minutes. She also shared that her sexy bikini was from Melissa Odabash. Despite the luxurious yacht party, Vicky revealed that planning her dream wedding has been challenging due to the high costs. She admitted that her wedding day is costing the same as a house, and she doesn’t have enough money to fund every detail she wants. Vicky mentioned that she will be wearing four wedding dresses on the big day, but she has cut back on certain luxuries to stay within budget.
While initially thinking she would have the ‘wedding of the century,’ Vicky realized the reality of wedding costs when her planner told her that her funds wouldn’t cover everything she wanted. Despite hosting a lavish engagement party with 300 guests, the couple decided to have a smaller ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall with 100 guests before heading to Italy for the main celebrations. Vicky teased that she will be wearing a sixties-inspired gown for the UK wedding and loves the short veil and big sunglasses look. The couple got engaged in 2019 when Ercan proposed on a beach in Dubai, making their recent trip to the city even more special.
Despite the financial challenges of planning their wedding, Vicky expressed gratitude towards their friends and family for joining them on the pre-wedding trip to Dubai. She described it as one of the best trips of her life and thanked everyone for their support and friendship. The couple is looking forward to their summer wedding in Italy, where they will celebrate with 150 guests. Vicky’s honesty about the costs associated with planning a celebrity wedding sheds light on the realities behind the glitz and glamour of such events. By making compromises and prioritizing what’s most important to them, Vicky and Ercan are navigating the challenges of wedding planning while still creating a memorable and special day.
