‘I can’t wait for us to be husband and wife!’ Jessica Wright reveals she will tie the knot with fiancé William Lee-Kemp in September – after lockdown forced them to delay summer wedding
Jessica Wright has revealed she will now walk down the aisle with her fiancé William Lee-Kemp in September, after lockdown forced them to ditch plans to wed in June.
In a new interview with Hello!, the former TOWIE star, 35, admitted that she and William, 38, had considered scrapping plans to exchange nuptials in Mallorca and have a smaller ceremony in England, as pandemic regulations affect on travel.
Noting that she’s far from alone in her dilemma, Jessica told the publication: ‘I really feel for all brides out there. Every day, we have been back and forth trying to decide what to do – I’ve been driving myself insane with it.’

She continued: ‘We always wanted to get wed abroad with all our family and friends, but we have explored every option, different dates, different places. A few weeks ago I said to Will: “Shall we have a smaller wedding here in England?”
‘But he said: “No, it is our dream to marry abroad with family and friends. It wouldn’t be right to change that now.”‘
Of their autumn wedding, she explained: ‘It gives more time for things to get back to normal and for all our nearest and dearest to be there. I have definitely relaxed since setting the new date. I can’t wait to wear my dress – I just want to do it now.’
Jessica added: ‘I am very lucky to have him and we have an amazing bond. We are more of a team than ever before. If any year is testament to the strength of a relationship, it is this year in lockdown. I can’t wait for us to be husband and wife.’

While Jessica and Will have holidayed in many exotic locations, Jess explained that Majorca has been like a second home to her as her family have a house on the island.
Jess said: ‘I’ve been dreaming of a fairytale wedding since I was little, when I used to dress up in my mum’s net curtains.
‘Now I can’t wait for the moment I’ve been imagining for so long, walking up the aisle in a fabulous dress to marry Will.’
Of the location, she revealed: ‘We’ve enjoyed some amazing holidays here and I practically grew up on the island because it’s where my family has a second home.’
