Celebs you forgot married in Vegas as Katie Price and Carl Woods jet out – from Rachel Riley and Pasha to Britney Spears
SURROUNDED by casinos, strip clubs and novelty hotels, Las Vegas isn't quite the place to go for a traditional white wedding.
Yet 'Sin City' is a surprisingly popular destination for celebs looking to tie the knot... often with disastrous consequences.
Katie Price, 43, will be hoping saying ‘I do’ in Nevada will bring her luck in her fourth marriage as she weds toyboy lover Carl Woods, 32.
Exclusive pictures obtained by The Sun showed the couple with their marriage licence and the mum-of-five necking two Cosmopolitans in 20 minutes at a nearby casino
According to a clerk, Katie joked: “Ooh, signing our life away,” before raising her right hand to swear the information she told the registrar was truthful.
It’s not known when they will marry or how but Vegas is known for its wide range of offerings - including singing Elvis impersonators, pirate ship weddings and more.
Former glamour model Katie will be joining a long list of celebrities who have tied the knot there - here are the ones you may have forgotten.
Lily Allen and David Harbour
Lily Allen, 36, and Stranger Things actor David Harbour, 46, pulled out all the stops when they tied the knot last year.
They said ‘I do’ in the celebrity-friendly Graceland Wedding Chapel and were treated to a performance by Brendan Paul, one of the strip’s most famous Elvis impersonators.
Shortly after the ceremony, the newlyweds ditched a traditional sit down meal to visit popular chain In-N-Out Burger with Lily's daughters, Marnie and Ethel.
It seemed Lily wasn’t concerned about spilling sauce or grease on her expensive Dior blazer dress or veil as she tucked into a juicy cheeseburger.
On their one-year anniversary, Lily wrote on Instagram: “I prefer my life with you in it. You can stay.”
Another snap from the happy couple’s big day, showed David holding his wife in the air as they grinned at the camera alongside Elvis, who gave a thumbs-up.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Britney Spears’ life has been far from easy and drama-free and it seemed her wedding would be no different.
The morning after tying the knot to her childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander in 2004, it was claimed “all hell broke loose” because the singer’s mum wasn’t told.
It was annulled 55 hours after the 4am ceremony as it was claimed Britney “lacked understanding of her actions”.
Divorce lawyer Mark Goldberg told the Daily Mail it was the performer’s “idea to get married” and they “hadn’t been drinking or doing drugs” as some had alleged.
Ex-husband Jason recalled them renting a lime green limo for the ceremony and claimed they consummated their marriage on the vehicle's backseats.
Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev
Strictly Come Dancing fans are used to seeing the professionals and their celebrity partners hook-up but few make it past the one year mark.
However, Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev have certainly broken that mould - welcoming their second daughter Noa earlier this week.
They met on the BBC show back in 2013 but refuted claims they were a product of the notorious ‘Strictly curse’.
The 35-year-old previously said her marriage to ex Jamie Gilbert was on the rocks and ended because they weren’t “right together”.
The Countdown star and her Strictly beau, 41, officially became an item one year after dancing together and by 2019 announced they were expecting their first daughter, Maven.
One month later, they fled to Vegas for a secret wedding service in front of a painted wall with the word love on it and a lectern decorated with his and hers crowns and heart.
On the big day, Rachel opted for a short white with pink patterned dress to show off her baby bump and Pasha wore a blue blazer, white shirt and cream trousers.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas
Ahead of getting married in 2019, Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner hinted that she wanted a no-thrills wedding and wanted to “keep it as low-key as possible”.
The 25-year-old and singer Joe Jonas, 32, headed to the Little White Chapel - best known for shotgun weddings.
In front of an Elvis impersonator, who was dressed in a red sparkly suit, they exchanged vows and shared their happy news on Instagram.
Sophie wore a custom-made white Louis Vuitton dress with a full skirt and Joe was dressed in a grey suit.
Later, the singer revealed they had a small number of attendees, including Joe's brothers Nick and Kevin, because it was their “legal marriage” before having “a real big one”.
“It was either the courthouse, or our version, and I preferred our version. Friends, Elvis and Ring Pops,” he told Bazaar.com.
Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon
Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has been married five times and appears to favour tying the knot in Vegas as she’s said ‘I do’ there twice to the same guy.
She first got hitched to her longtime friend Rick Salomon – who made a fortune selling a sex tape of himself and Paris Hilton – at The Mirage Hotel in 2007
White petals were scattered around the 3,000ft room and Sade’s 1992 hit No Ordinary Love was played during the service.
