The bride wore a classic white lace bridal gown and train, while the groom opted for an appropriately smart black dress suit, crisp white shirt and tie as they shared a kiss in front of a stunning floral backdrop. 

Moments earlier there was a ripple of knowing laughter as the registrar asked guests well aware of Andy’s recent Dubai fiasco if there were any objections to the marriage. 

Andy reportedly made guests laugh ahead of his nuptials when he announced he felt sick, while Billi kept him waiting as she walked down the aisle 20 minutes late at their Hampshire wedding on Sunday.

The couple tied the knot at 3:00pm at Hampshire’s Four Seasons Hotel after a tumultuous build-up which saw drama erupt when photos emerged of the sportsman passed out in bed with two women during his Dubai stag-do.

And the West Brom footballer, 33, appeared to be suffering from some last-minute nerves before tying the knot at the luxury five-star hotel as his friend jokingly offered him a Diazepam tablet for anxiety, according to The Sun.

A source told The Sun: ‘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.’ 

On Monday, the newlyweds were seen having their first dance as man and wife in a new loved-up clip.

She gave her followers a further insight into the wedding by filming the lavish reception at Hampshire’s five-star Four Seasons Hotel.

The room was shown to be covered in pink lights, with the tables decorated with trees full of multicoloured roses and a neon sign with ‘The Carrolls’ mounted on the wall.

Earlier that day guests ensured Billi’s dress was hidden from view by shielding her with umbrellas as she made her way inside the luxurious venue ahead of exchanging vows with her long-term partner. 

In pictures from their happy day, the newlyweds were spotted as wedding guests prepared to continue the celebrations at the reception.   

The bridesmaids, carrying pristine white bouquets, looked stunning in matching baby pink dresses, which boasted frills and a flattering V-neckline.

Other guests remained with this colour theme, as two sported fuchsia headpieces and had splashes of pink in their finery. 

The bride and groom chose a traditional all-white theme for their lavish wedding ceremony at the five star hotel – and exchanged vows surrounded by displays of white roses during the ceremony, which took place in a spectacular 16th century walled garden. 

Even the persistent drizzle didn’t put a dampener on the occasion after organisers hastily put up a white gazebo to keep all the guests dry during the ceremony. The ceremony began with live music as a singer paid a romantic tribute to the couple.

Billi, 34, and Andy, 33, then exchanged wedding vows in the intimate setting.

Family: Among the guests were the couple’s three children Arlo, six, Wolf, four, and 21-month old daughter Marvel Mae, along with Carroll’s daughter Emilie Rose, 12, and son Lucas, 11, from a previous relationship

Rows and rows of bottles of £100 champagne were discreetly lined up on trestle tables behind a tall hedge as cheers rang out from the congregation when the happy couple were declared man and wife.

Just days ago it seemed touch and go as to whether the long-planned event would take place after the former England striker ended up in bed with two blondes following a 17-hour drinking session during his stag-do in Dubai.

Former TOWIE  star Bill fled from the couple’s home and took refuge at her parents’ house and removed her £200,000 engagement ring in the run up to the big day.

Among the guests were the couple’s three children Arlo, six, Wolf, four, and 21-month old daughter Marvel Mae, along with Carroll’s daughter Emilie Rose, 12, and Lucas, 11, from a previous relationship.
