Inside Vicky Pattison’s joint hen and stag do with fiance Ercan – as they hire £119 an hour luxury yacht in Dubai
VICKY Pattison has pulled out all the stops on her joint hen and stag do with her fiancé Ercan Ramadan.
The couple have jetted out to Dubai with their family and friends – dubbing it their sten do, and kicked off the celebrations by chartering a luxury yacht for the day.
Vicky, 34, splashed out on the £119 an hour boat and shared a series of snaps as they lived it up aboard there.
The stunning vessel was decorated with a disco wall, balloons, personalised coconuts and even featured a shot board.
Vicky looked incredible wearing a white bikini and a veil, with the words Mrs Patti-Ram to be written on it.
Alongside her images, Vicky thanked her pal for organising it and wrote: “The Patti-Rams 2024…
“If we were to go home now, I would still consider this to be one of the the trips of my life!!! @djchriswright.
“Thankyou so so much for organising the sten of a lifetime!! @ercan_ram and I are so grateful for your friendship.”
She added: “And to all of our gorgeous family and friends- god, where do I begin… we just love you and are so happy you’re here.”
The former Geordie Shore star later told fans: “Yesterday was like a movie…I honestly felt like I was in a film. Relaxed properly for the first time in months, the most beautiful setting, surrounded by my amazing frends and family, the most unbelievable boat. I could cry I’m so grateful.”
Towie star Ercan, 30, popped the question to Vicky during a romantic proposal in Dubai in February 2022.
Big spender
Vicky recently admitted that their big day is going to cost “the price of a house” and her initial budget “won’t even cover the flowers”.
Vicky said: “I won’t talk specific numbers because that’s tacky, but obviously I’m from Newcastle so it was like a house price, right?
“I gave what I thought was a really healthy budget to my wedding planner and was like, ‘We are going to have the wedding of the century for this’.”
But Vicky’s wedding planner had bad news.
Speaking to Rock My Wedding, she continued: “She was like, ‘Just so you know, everything you’ve told me you want is not possible for that budget – some pictures you’ve sent off your mood board, the budget won’t even cover the flowers’.”
Now Vicky and businessman Ercan are going to have to make some cutbacks.
She added: “I don’t want to be paying it off for the next 10 years, or remortgaging my house for a wedding.
“I want everyone to be talking about it for years, but ultimately, I just want everyone to have a nice time.”
The couple will officially get marred at Marylebone Town Hall this summer in front of 100 guests, before jetting off to Italy for a lavish ceremony.
They have already host an engagement party for 300 guests.
Easyjet row
Earlier this month Vicky became embroiled in a row with Easyjet, branding them a ‘destroyer of dreams’
The TV star had been denied access over some dog chew damage on the corner of her passport, an incident which left her incandescent with rage.
Taking to social media, she said: “Thought we were off to see our wedding venue today, we were so excited. I rushed back from Newcastle, packed at midnight last night and jumped into bed and got 3 hours sleep. But I didn’t mind because we were going for our menu tasting. @ercan_ram.”
“Only to have the @easyiet staff turn me away.. I’ve been travelling with my passport all year and no one’s said anything, but it’s definitely well-travelled to be fair Company policy is company policy and I get it, I’m just beyond gutted you know??
“My wedding planner, her assistant, my florist, everyone are all heading out… … X And I’m just heading home… to have a really good cry I think.
“All the wasted money, how hard it was for me to get the time off, how excited we were, how I’ve wasted everyone’s time.. I’m just really sad I think.”
The airline hit back, defending their decision to take a stand over the damaged document.
In a statement a spokesperson for Easyjet said: “We are sorry for Ms Pattison’s experience and the inconvenience caused. At EasyJet, we work closely with the authorities and comply with their guidance to ensure the safety and security of all passengers and staff.
As such, we cannot allow any passenger to travel on their planned flight with documentation damaged to such a degree that its authenticity is brought into question. It is the passenger’s responsibility to have suitable documentation for travel.”
