Katie Price's Surprise Dubai Wedding Features £12 Shein Dress
Reality television star Katie Price has married businessman Lee Andrews in a surprise ceremony in Dubai, with The Mirror exclusively revealing that her wedding attire included a dress costing just £12. The pair tied the knot this week, mere hours after announcing their engagement, in what sources describe as a "quickie" wedding that has left Price's family "completely horrified."
Whirlwind Romance and Family Concerns
The marriage comes after a remarkably brief courtship, with Price and Andrews having met only weeks before deciding to wed. A family source expressed deep concern, stating: "Kate married Lee without telling anyone – the whole family are completely horrified. It is moving very fast and they are concerned about Kate’s frame of mind. No one knows who Lee really is and whether he is any good for her. It’s all total chaos at the moment."
Following the ceremony, Katie Price said she was "over the moon" to have married Andrews, revealing the couple had even selected their wedding rings before meeting in person. This rapid progression has sparked significant worry among her relatives regarding her wellbeing and the stability of the new union.
The Budget Bridal Gown and Luxury Accessories
In a striking contrast to her typically lavish lifestyle, Price's wedding dress was purchased from fast-fashion retailer Shein for a mere £11.89. A source commented on the unconventional choice: "Katie married her Richard Gere in a bargain fashion dress from Shein – it hardly screams Pretty Woman does it?"
The ivory dress featured a distinctive cut-out design around the midriff. However, Price complemented this budget-friendly centrepiece with considerably more expensive accessories. She carried a Chanel purse valued at approximately £2,250 and wore white high-heeled shoes from designer Rene Caovilla, which retail for around £1,510.
Tragically, the source noted that Price bought the expensive shoes while shopping with her daughter, Princess, who was reportedly "heartbroken" to learn of the engagement only when it was publicly announced.
Ceremony Details and Groom's Attire
The wedding took place at a luxurious location in Dubai, with an officiant presiding over the ceremony. Katie Price looked radiant in her simple yet elegant dress, while groom Lee Andrews opted for a smart-casual ensemble of white linen trousers and a taupe-coloured shirt.
The setting provided a glamorous backdrop for the intimate event, which appears to have been organised with remarkable speed following their recent engagement announcement.
Mother-in-Law Speaks Out in Defence
Amidst the swirling rumours and family concerns, Lee Andrews' mother, Trisha – a medium from Nottingham – has come forward to defend her son and clarify her position. She confirmed to The Mirror that she was aware of the wedding plans.
"He did tell me that the wedding was happening. He spoke to me and if he is happy, I am happy - he’s my son, and that’s all that matters," she stated. "Of course, I know who Katie is. I’ve always been very neutral about her. Everyone deserves a chance, you should never judge anyone in life."
Trisha also humorously remarked on the newfound fame, quipping: "You can ask what it’s like to have a famous daughter-in-law, but she’s got a famous mother-in-law!" Her comments aim to counter what she describes as "a lot of lies going around about Lee," specifically denying rumours that he has been married twice previously.
This surprise wedding marks yet another dramatic chapter in Katie Price's highly publicised personal life, blending budget fashion choices with luxury accessories against the backdrop of a whirlwind romance that continues to generate headlines and family anxiety in equal measure.
