Behind the scenes snaps of Kate Wright and Rio Ferdinand’s wedding celebrations are finally doing the rounds on social media and we are extremely jealous!

The couple married in Turkey over the weekend in what was reported to be a lavishly extravagant celebration spanning several days, alongside friends and family, including plenty of TOWIE stars to boot.

Uploading a picture from the couples’ pre-wedding brunch, Debbie Bright – whose daughter Lydia is expecting her first child, wrote, 'Had the most amazing time.

'Thanking @xkateferdidnand @rioferdy5 for sharing precious moments of your life with me… the love I felt was utterly overwhelming surrounded with your special family and friends was priceless.' [sic]

'May I wish you a life time of happiness sprinkled with stars to guide you through married life.'

And Kate, who’s already changed her name on Instagram to her new husbands', uploaded her own photo against a gorgeous decorative backdrop of white balloons and floral arrangements, which she captioned, 'Day 1 of the wedding celebrations… BRUNCH'. [sic]

Kate wore a simple white midi-dress and barely there sandals - which was afar cry from the elaborate gown she wore on the big day itself.

Other pictures showed friends and family looking glam clutching cocktails and champagne, before things got a little rowdier later in the evening.

Kate rose to fame on TOWIE in 2015 but two years later took a step back from the limelight after going public with England footballer Rio.
