Katie Price’s Vegas wedding is second attempt at tying the knot with Carl Woods as pair wanted to marry in St Lucia

KATIE Price and Carl Woods originally planned to marry in St Lucia back in July - but delayed wedding, claim friends.

The couple are set to marry this weekend in Las Vegas after picking up their marriage licence yesterday.

But the wedding actually should have happened when they were on a luxury trip to St Lucia in summer 2021, say sources.

“Carl and Katie wanted to marry when they were on holiday and even went as far as looking at dresses and doing a hair trial for the wedding,” says a friend.

“They were right on the verge of doing it on the spot, but decided to wait and do it legally and properly another time.”

The pair got engaged in April 2021, and Katie’s divorce from ex Kieran Hayler was officially settled on 12 July.

As seen in The Sun’s exclusive pictures, Katie, 43, and Carl, 32, were spotted applying for the paperwork for their wedding on Wednesday in Sin City.  

The loved-up couple arrived mid-morning and it took them about 15 minutes to get the official seal of approval in person, which is legally required of those marrying in Las Vegas.

Katie was overheard jokingly telling the clerk “Ooh, signing our life away” before the happy couple raised their right hands to swear the information they had given was truthful.

The Sun’s exclusive pictures show them celebrating at the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino, where Katie necked two Cosmopolitan vodka cocktails in 20 minutes just after midday.

She and Carl also did some window shopping, going into clothes shops and a jeweller together.

Katie is currently facing a possible prison sentence next month after pleading guilty to drink driving while disqualified and taking drugs after a crash near her home in Sussex in September.

OK magazine reports Katie and Carl will marry this weekend in Vegas - and his parents are flying out to watch.

It’ll be Katie’s fourth marriage - after previous husbands Peter Andre, Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid - and Carl’s first.
