Gemma Collins is officially putting wedding bells on the calendar—and she’s aiming to make it unforgettable.
The TOWIE star, 44, confirmed she and fiancé Rami Hawash, 50, plan to tie the knot in 2026 after an astrologer told her it’s the perfect year for marriage.
And if you’re expecting a small, intimate ceremony—think again.
Gemma has hinted that her celebration could even outshine Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s $50 million wedding.
Countdown to the Big Day
Gemma and Rami got engaged for the second time four years ago, and she admits the countdown is officially on—even if the planning isn’t exactly running on schedule.
Speaking to The Mirror, Gemma confessed she hasn’t booked a venue yet and could leave some details until the last minute, but reassured fans that the wedding will be magical.
“I mean, after Jeff Bezos’ wedding, I’ve sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven’t I?” she joked.
A Woodland Fairytale Vision
The reality star has shared that she wants a woodland-themed wedding with a fairytale twist, inspired by Disney’s Maleficent.
Gemma hopes to create a “mythical and boho” atmosphere, and she’s already thinking about musical accompaniments.
She revealed that Irish twin pop duo Jedward could have a starring role: “[Jedward] will be singing.
They’ll definitely have a major role in the big day. They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys.”
The pair have been friends for years, often traveling to Essex to see Gemma and even spending holidays together.
A Surprise Proposal in the Maldives
Rami’s proposal in the Maldives left Gemma completely stunned.
During a birthday getaway, he orchestrated a romantic sushi dinner before asking her to look out the window.
Outside, lights on the beach spelled out: “Will you marry me?” The scene included hundreds of rose petals and a ring placed inside a shell.
Gemma admitted she had no idea it was coming and wasn’t even wearing makeup or a bra—but she said she “wouldn’t change a thing.”
The diamond ring reportedly costs more than £200,000.
A Love Story Spanning Over a Decade
Gemma and Rami have known each other for over ten years.
Their first engagement happened in 2013, when Rami cleverly hid a ring in a Christmas pudding. Four weeks later, Gemma called off the engagement.
Seven years after their split, they reunited during lockdown, eventually getting engaged again.
Dealing with Threats and Heightened Security
Gemma’s wedding excitement comes amid a frightening security scare.
She reportedly received an abusive and menacing letter at her home, leaving her “shaken and very scared.”
A source told The Sun that the man behind the letter expressed extreme dislike for Gemma and mentioned tracking her down.
She immediately called the police, increased her home security, and now has round-the-clock guard dogs and cameras on-site.
The ongoing investigation has left Gemma feeling grateful for the police response, though she remains shocked that a fan could send such a threatening message despite her usually friendly interactions.
Looking Forward to a Magical Celebration
Despite the scares and planning challenges, Gemma remains focused on her big day.
Between woodland fairytale themes, potential celebrity appearances, and her undeniable flair for the dramatic, it’s shaping up to be one wedding fans won’t soon forget.
