Billie Faiers' wedding was like a "fairy tale".
Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star tied the knot with her fiance Greg Shepherd at a luxury resort on Kuramathi in the Maldives last week and she admits it was the "best day of her life", with the exception of the days her kids Nelly and Arthur were born.
She said: "Other than the days that Nelly and Arthur were born, it was the best day of my life. It was like a fairy tale - all the stress and tears were worth it. It's so lovely for me to finally be a Shepherd and share a surname with my children. Marriage ties our little family together completely."
Billie wore a beautiful fishtail, lace, crystal embellished gown designed by Berta for her big day and Greg was overwhelmed by how beautiful his bride looked.
He said: "She looked incredible in her dress."
Whilst Billie added: "As soon as I tried it on I had 'the feeling'; when you know you know! Because we didn't get married in a church I could get away with something more daring'
And Billie and Greg were surprised at the wedding by their close pal Ferne McCann, as the reality television star belted out her rendition of 'Stand by Me' at the couple's luxury reception.
Billie told OK! magazine: "It was such a lovely surprise, she's got a brilliant voice."
The 29-year-old reality star made the ceremony very family orientated and she had her children as flower girl and page boy for her nuptials.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz previously: "So Nelly is going to be flower girl and Arthur will be page boy. It will be so lovely to have them there at our wedding."
