She was supposed to walk down the aisle in July.
Yet after the coronavirus pandemic forced her to cancel the big day, Tabitha Willett has revealed her new wedding plans with nightclub mogul fiancé, Fraser Carruthers.
The couple – who welcomed their first child, Ottilie, last year – now plan to tie the knot at an intimate ceremony as soon as September.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine, the former Made In Chelsea star, 28, revealed the setback means their toddler daughter will be able to walk with her down the aisle.
Tabitha was originally set to exchange vows with Fraser at Fulham’s Hurlingham Club in July in front of a host of celebrity guests.
However, the pandemic scuppered their plans, and they have now decided to get married at a register office and hold a reception in a Chelsea restaurant.
She told the magazine: ‘We have a couple of options that we could pull off, even within two weeks notice – well, 29 days, because that’s how long you need to legally leave it after you give your notice – but we’re waiting for the current laws to change.’

According to the MIC star, she is waiting for the Prime Minister to relax the policy on the number of guests that can attend her wedding before they move ahead with their plans
She added: ‘So as soon as Boris says you can have 50 people attend instead of 30, we’ll be all systems go.
‘I’ll look like a Disney princess. I want a big, white dress, and I want to wear a veil because there’s only one time in your life that you can.’
Fraser proposed during a trip to Miami in November 2019, with a three-carat diamond engagement ring designed by Eden Rocks, the company run by MIC pal Spencer who is also expected to attend the wedding.

Tabitha said: ‘The ring box had a light inside so the ring sparkled so much.
‘It was everything I’d dreamed of, and I cried.’
Made In Chelsea co-stars and new parents, Hugo Taylor and Millie Mackintosh are also expected to attend the intimate wedding ceremony.
Their delayed wedding date also means their 14-month-old daughter Ottilie will be able to walk down the aisle with them.
Willett told the magazine: ‘She wasn’t walking on our original date, 24th July.
‘So now it will be even more special.
‘When it finally happens, it will all have been worth the wait.’
