Billi Mucklow & Andy Carroll’s wedding guests guffawed when registrar asked VERY awkward question after his stag do pic

GUESTS at the wedding of Billi Mucklow and Andy Carroll LAUGHED when the registrar asked a very awkward question yesterday.

The couple enjoyed an extravagant wedding at Hampshire's five-star Four Seasons Hotel - days after the footballer's three-in-a-bed stag do antics.

But family and friends guffawed when the registrar asked if they knew any reason why the couple should not be married.

Luckily, Billi saw the bright side - and burst into giggles too.

An onlooker said: “They were emotional when they saw each other, but the atmosphere totally changed when the registrar asked if anyone present knew why they should not be married.

“Everyone started laughing really loud and Billi and Andy joined in.

"It broke the ice in what’s been a hard build up to the wedding for Billi.

“It changed the tone and when they were announced man and wife, the cheers were deafening.”

The pair opted for a traditional all-white theme for their posh ceremony and exchanged vows surrounded by white roses in a 16th century walled garden.

Guests downed £100 bottles of Champagne as they dodged grim weather during the reception.

The nuptials came after Billi forgave her husband's foul play after The Sun revealed his wild three-in-a-bed stag do antics.

Sources close to the pair had indicated the ceremony was to take place on Saturday - but instead they chose to say "I do" on Sunday.

Celebrations are now well under way at the luxury hotel, where suites cost around £1,675 per night.

Friends began the party early by downing bottles of Louis Roederer Champagne, while Andy, in a tracksuit and cap, made them laugh when he announced he was feeling sick.

One guest jokingly asked if he would like a Diazepam tablet for anxiety.

A source said: "Billi and Andy seemed a bit subdued at the start, but relaxed as time went on.

"Everybody seemed very much in the mood to celebrate - talking, laughing and joking as the champagne was flowing freely.

"The atmosphere was a far cry from how things have been the last few days, which is incredibly tense and uncomfortable."

The couple were spotted rocking up to the venue laden with bags and rails of clothes on Friday afternoon.

They carried shirts, suits, and bridesmaid dresses on hangers - and onlookers even caught a glimpse of Billi's white gown.

The bride's mum Paula, sister Georgie and brother Sam were also seen arriving in plenty of time for the big day.

It is only the second time Andy has been seen since he was pictured in bed with two women - neither of whom were his fiancé.

The footballer passed out on a hotel bed with the blonde duo during his raucous pre-wedding party last month.

The boozed-up striker invited fitness instructor Phoebe Robb, 26, and bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkey, 27, to his luxury suite after a 17-hour bender.

After seeing the "utterly humiliating" snaps of her bare-chested partner, 33-year-old Billi fled their Essex home to stay with her parents as she struggled to work out what to do.

She removed her £200,000 engagement ring and was reported to be "in no mood" to get married.

But the heartbroken reality star, who has been engaged to Andy since 2014, decided to put the past behind her, put on a "brave face", and wed the father of two of her children.

A source said: "Billi has been utterly humiliated by Andy but deep down she still loves him.

They were emotional but the atmosphere totally changed when the registrar asked if anyone present knew why they should not be married.

"A number of her friends and some of her family have said she should postpone the wedding but Billi’s mind is made up now.

"She has been doing a lot of soul-searching and has chosen to go ahead."

As part of the deal, Andy has banned his groomsmen from making jokes about his Dubai antics.

Photos of him and Taylor on a bed, and another of her in his personalised dressing gown, were shared on Snapchat and instantly went viral.

At the time, pals described it as "embarrassing" with the wedding just two weeks away.

But Taylor, from Scarborough, claimed: "It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun."

She said the photo was taken "as a joke" and insisted she didn't sleep with Andy.

Few details are known about the ceremony, but in January Billi revealed she had chosen her dress from Brown's Brides - a boutique popular with the girlfriends of top-flight footballers.

Her bridesmaids include sister Georgie, her stepdaughter Emilie-Rose Carroll, and former The Only Way Is Essex star Shelby Tribble.

Andy - who has just been let go from Championship side West Brom - has two young children with Billi and two from a previous relationship.

Billi found fame on Towie in 2011 but quit two years later to become a yoga teacher. She now only leads classes occasionally.
