HER wedding is a couple of months away.
And Millie Radford is getting the final bits organised before the day she says “I do” to fiance Harley Passmore.
Mum-of-22 Sue Radford took to her Instagram Stories to share an inside look at Wennington Hall in Lancashire, where Millie will be tying the knot.
“Spent a lovely afternoon talking wedding prep at the wedding venue,” Sue wrote, over a picture of one of the stunning lounges inside the venue, which only opened in spring this year.
“So exciting!” she added, tagging Millie, Harley and her husband Noel.
Wennington Hall is situated between the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Ribble Valley, and has four locations from which couples can choose for their civil ceremonies.
It has capacity for 140 guests in the main hall for the wedding meal, and can accommodate 250 guests in the evening.
It’s also been crowned the North East's Hotel Venue of the Year, North West's Events Team of the Year and Best Venue in Lancashire.
But it isn’t cheap to get married there, with packages starting at a whopping £8,995.
After the big day, the wedding party have the option to stay at the venue, while new husband and wife Millie and Harley will undoubtedly be in the Honeymoon Suite.
The visit to the wedding venue comes after Sue revealed she was struggling to find the perfect outfit for Millie’s big day.
“Booked in my next hair appointment today for Millie and Harley’s wedding in just over nine weeks’ time,” she wrote on Instagram.
“So EXCITED but I’m really struggling to find a mother of the bride outfit I love, so if anyone has any recommendations, I’d love for you to share please.”
While Sue said she usually goes for Phase Eight dresses as she loves their options, she added that she wants to go for “something a bit different” for this occasion.
“But it has to be petite which is so difficult to find!” Sue sighed.
Bride-to-be Millie also shared Sue’s post on her own Instagram Stories, as she urged fans: “Please comment your favourite place to shop MOB dresses!”
While Sue hasn’t revealed the recommendations she received from her followers as yet, Karen Millen, Coast, Hobbs and Oasis all do petite occasion wear, so are likely to have been suggested.
Millie Radford's relationship timeline
Millie is the seventh child and third daughter of parents-of-22 Sue and Noel Radford.
She shot to fame when the family landed their own Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting, in 2018.
Millie got pregnant for the first time aged 18, and welcomed daughter Ophelia into the world in September 2020.
Millie is no longer with Ophelia’s father, whose identity remains a secret, as they broke up not long after she got pregnant.
The reality star opened up about her relationship with him and said: “He just wasn’t happy to step up and be a dad so he’s never been named.”
On February 20, 2022, she welcomed her second child, a son called Chester.
Millie kept her pregnancy secret until her due date and in March 2022, she opened up about Chester’s birth in a question time “catch up” on her Instagram stories.
She also identified Chester’s dad for the first time, revealing he was her secret boyfriend Harley Passmore.
In May 2023, Millie revealed she was expecting another child with her partner.
Her baby, a daughter named Jade, was born in September 2023.
In April 2024, Millie excitedly told fans Harley had asked her to marry him during a trip to Disneyland in Florida.
In July, mum Sue let slip that Millie and Harley will be tying the knot before the end of the year, and even shared a snap of the bride-to-be looking at potential wedding dresses.
Sue is believed to be around 5ft tall, and previously admitted she sometimes shops in the kids’ section at stores like Primark in a bid to find outfits that fit her petite frame.
Millie and Harley got engaged earlier this year, when the dad of two of her three children popped the question at Disneyland.
The moment was special for Millie on more than one occasion, as she revealed Harley dropped the ring as he was overcome with nerves.
