Katie Price and Alex Reid have had their marriage blessed in a reportedly lavish ceremony - the exact details of which remain shrouded in secrecy. The reality TV star - aka glamour model Jordan - married Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas in February, but on Saturday the pair walked down the aisle for a second time surrounded by family and friends. However the bash has been kept as private as possible, although it has been filmed for an ITV2 reality show Katie And Alex: For Better Or Worse. Guests at the event, held at St Paul's Church in Woldingham, Surrey, are said to have arrived by Range Rover and a coach with "Congratulations Alex and Katie" on the front. However reports say they were asked to sign confidentiality agreements and hand in their mobile phones at the door. And as they stepped into the church they were shielded from waiting photographers with umbrellas and sheets. A replica black A-Team style van reportedly brought Katie - aka glamour model Jordan - to the church - but guests were made to wait for up to two hours before she finally arrived. There were reports of scuffles between photographers and bouncers as they tried to get a shot of her as she arrived at the church. A crowd of about 40 wellwishers also turned out for a possible glimpse of the bride. Singer Michelle Heaton and former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Danielle Lloyd were reportedly among the star guests at the blessing, while Diversity and JLS are also performing at the party afterwards. However reports have suggested the bash has cost considerably less than Katie's extravagant wedding to Peter Andre in 2005.
