Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattinson’s much anticipated wedding to fiance Ercan Ramadan is taking place at London’s famous Marylebone Town Hall today, Saturday 24 August, and the bride-to-be has been busy with last minute preparations for the ceremony. It will be the first of two weddings for the couple, with the second taking place in Puglia, Italy later this summer.
The couple have been engaged since February 2022 after Ercan proposed on the beach in Dubai, and they had a joint stag and hen party in the resort city earlier this year, as well as a lavish engagement party in London’s 14 Hills for 300 of their nearest and dearest. Their wedding preparations have included planning for 13 bridesmaids, fittings for Vicky’s four wedding dresses and organising the guest list, which proved to be the trickiest task of all.

“The bit that I didn’t love, and I think people will be able to relate to this, was the guest-list. Ercan, my partner, is from a Turkish Cypriot family, which to make a sweeping generalisation normally means that he has a huge family. He’s got cousins and brothers and everyone’s got kids and you can’t invite one without having the other,” Vicky told OK! recently.
Just hours before her wedding, Vicky has been sharing images of the upcoming ceremony, beginning with a photo of a black gate featuring the couple’s names that is adorned with flowers, which she captioned: “Things are starting to come together.” She also showed a photo of the bar being set up with the help of family dogs Max and Milo, and an envelope with the name “The PattiRams” written on it, about which she said: “My dad sat and put together around 200 of these.”
She also shared a pic of ivory-iced biscuits with the letter “V” or “E” in black on each one, a pic of the shots that will be served to guests, and a video of the couple exercising before their big day. One of her posts from her wedding prep yesterday showed Vicky in a pre-wedding face mask with the words “This time tomorrow… I’ll be a wife.”
Vicky has given some hints about what her dresses will look like, for both her weddings. “I’m getting married in London initially, at Marylebone Town Hall, so I needed a dress for that. It’s cute and a bit of a sixties vibe. I want the little short veil and the big white sunglasses,” she said. “I absolutely loved what Sophie Habboo did. I thought that was a super gorgeous vibe. I went just recently, this week to go and see Suzanne Neville for that one, and she’s sketched me something. So I have an original and that’s probably the first time anyone’s really going to see me in one of my wedding dresses and that’s the summer, I’m excited about that. And then when we get out to Italy, there’ll be a dress for the welcome dinner. There will be a dress for my actual wedding and then it will be a dress for the evening. So four in total.”
