Marnie Simpson marries Casey Johnson in surprise wedding with Geordie Shore stars

Marnie Simpson and Casey Johnson have revealed they're "over the moon" after marrying one another in a stunning ceremony.

The Geordie Shore star became engaged to Casey in August 2020 after the former X Factor contestant got down on one knee during a romantic date night.

However, the happy couple had originally planned to say "I do" in 2021 following the ending of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions but they postponed their day.

But while being surrounded by some of her nearest and dearest including her former co-stars, the couple married on Wednesday (March 22) and filmed the entire event for fans to see.

Speaking about their big day, Marnie and Casey told OK!: "We've finally tied the knot - we're over the moon!"

The newlywed parents of two will share their stunning wedding snaps next week after documenting their whole day.

Speculation had been rife after Marnie's close pal and manager had shared a "wedding to do list" on his Instagram Stories which was later deleted.

He was also seen with Geordie Shore star Chantelle Connelly with the pair revealing they were at a top-secret location for a big day but failed to disclose their reason for meeting up.

Chantelle also took to her Instagram to share a snap of herself with eye masks on alongside the caption: "Ready for the big day".

Ahead of the lavish ceremony, a source told The Sun: "The day is finally here and Marnie and Casey can't wait to make it official.

"Some of Marnie's Geordie Shore cast mates will be there and they are letting the cameras capture it all."

In recent weeks, the raven-haired beauty had been preparing herself for the day by having baby botox and having her eyelashes done.

Prior to deciding to postpone her wedding, Marnie and Casey had already locked in their venue after immediately falling in love with it and had a spring date in mind.

But in 2021, she said: "I've got no intention of getting married anytime soon, I've got enough stress on my plate."

The newlyweds met one another back in 2017 after appearing on the programme Married AF and their relationship has gone from strength to strength over the years.

Just two years later, they went on to welcome their first son, Rox, before their second, Oax, in May 2022.

While Marnie found fame on MTV, Casey appeared as one-eighth of the X Factor boyband, Stereokicks alongside Chris Leonard and New Hope Club singer Reece Bibby.

He briefly went on to appear as one-quarter of Union J following the departure of George Shelley in 2016.
