Katie Price's reaction to Peter Andre's wedding to Emily amid fears she could spoil it

Peter Andre had more to worry about on his wedding day than just the usual jitters.

The Mysterious Girl singer married Emily MacDonagh on this day back in July 2015 in a beautiful ceremony at Mamhead House near Exeter.

The couple's love story began in unusual cirumstances as Peter was being treated for kidney stones by Emily's father back in 2010.

It was through his urologist consultant, Dr Ruaraidh MacDonagh, that the then 36-year-old met and fell in love with his medical student daughter Emily, then 20.

Peter got the doctor and his family some tickets to one of his show's in Plymouth, then asked Dr MacDonagh for permission to date his daughter.

The singer's attempts to woo Emily by turning up her halls of residence at Bristol University in a flashy Lamborghini did not go down well - and she later claimed it was "misjudged".

But Peter, who admitted he was worried about "stuffing this up", managed to turn it around and the couple announced their relationship to the public in 2012.

The loved-up pair announced they were expecting their first child together in the summer of 2013 - and Peter got down on one knee to propose just a few days before Emily gave birth to Amelia.

The big day arrived 18 months later, but some people were concerned that it may be overshadowed by Peter's famous ex-wife.

It wasn't Peter's first wedding day, as he got married to Katie Price at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, which is where Downton Abbey is filmed, back in September 2005.

Katie had a stunning satin dress with an epic seven-metre train and giant sparkly crown - arriving at her wedding venue in a Cinderella-inspired carriage pulled by six white horses.

Almost four years to the day of their wedding, the couple, who are parents to Junior and Princess, got divorced in September 2009.

Peter's wedding to Emily was a drastically different affair, but some believed Katie could have spoiled the big day.

This came after her cryptic tweet on England goalkeeper Joe Hart's wedding day to Kimberly Crew, which read: "All Harts go out to the married couple, is he going to tell the truth about us xx."

Katie is said to have met the former England goalkeeper briefly at the Crème de la Crème charity ball in Cheshire, but has made no proper allegations of anything happening between them.

The reality TV star went on to get into a ward of words with Joe's wife, labelling her a "clueless bimbo", so had history of causing trouble for new brides.

"Pete's determined Emily will have the perfect wedding day. He doesn’t want anything to spoil things, especially not his ex-wife," a source said at the time.

"He was shocked by Katie's tweet about Joe on his wedding day. Katie has hit out at him on Twitter in the past and it's reaffirmed his fears that she might try to overshadow things on his big day and ruin their happiness."

The insider also added: "He's told friends he wouldn’' put it past her to create a huge drama ahead of their wedding, evening if it's just attention-seeking."

Peter's camp denied the claim that he was allegedly worried that his ex-wife would eclispe his happy moment, with a representative telling The Mirror it was "totally untrue".

At this stage, Katie appeared to be a fan of Emily and a source close to her brushed off claims she would spoil Peter's big day.

"Katie's got no intention of lashing out at Peter. She likes Emily and thinks it would be nice for the children to have another sibling if the rumours are true," they said.

"But pals are saying they wouldn't be surprised if she does steal some of the attention on the day by tweeting her congratulations.

"She's even joked that she may use that day as an opportunity to announce her new jewellery range."

In the end, Katie didn't make any reference to Peter's wedding, but did share a romantic snap with then-husband Kieran Hayley.

She posted a selfie of herself enjoying a glass of wine with Kieran, who she split from in 2018, with the caption: "Loving the sun shine having lunch."

Peter was reduced to tears by his gorgeous bride, as well as son Junior as page boy and daughters Princess and Amelia as flower girls.

Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: "First seeing my son Junior walk down the aisle, followed by Bista [Princess] and Mills [Amelia] and then Emily - it was just too much!

"Seeing Emily for the first time in her dress was incredible - she took my breath away. She's the most beautiful bride I've ever seen - I couldn't help but well up!"

Emily was 15 minutes late to the service, which was a lot earlier than Katie who was 90 minutes late to their nuptials.

"It's been the most fantastic day of our lives – we've loved every moment," added Peter.

"I couldn't have wished for a better day. I've married the love of my life and I couldn't be happier."

Peter and Emily are now celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary - and he posted an adorable video montage on Instagram.

He also wrote: "Happy 7th wedding anniversary to a beautiful person inside and out. We have been together for 10 incredible years.

"You deserve to be praised Emily because you have a heart of pure gold. Thanks for everything. Our kids are truly lucky to have you. So am I."
