A Luton groom and his blushing bride have had to look at alternative wedding venues after they were branded ‘unsuitable’ by their first choice – Buckinghamshire country house hotel Stoke Park which has featured in two Bond films
Paul Carty, 51, and Pauline Bailey, 27, hit the headlines when they went public with an email stating they were not the type of guests the five star establishment would want to accommodate.
It was inadvertently sent to Ms Bailey, who allegedly burst into tears.
Subsequent investigations revealed the law graduate is also a TV glamour model given to appearing in revealing underwear while inviting viewers to call in for an ‘adult chat.’
Known as ‘Rachel T,’ she can be seen on Red Light Central TV and Playboy TV Chat channels.
The couple, who share a Luton semi, initially believed they were given the brush-off because of Mr Carty’s eyebrow piercing, his two small ear-rings and their age difference.
But it would appear Ms Bailey’s extra curricular activities could have played a part, although a hotel spokesman denied this.
The drug and alcohol counsellor became a part-time model five years ago when she was a student. She decided to continue because it was “financially viable” and claims her Ministry of Defence fiancé is “fine” with her additional career.
The venue row blew up after Stoke Park wedding planner Michele Connelly sent an email to her boss, Carlo Zoccali, requesting his advice.
She wrote: “This probably doesn’t sound very nice but I am trying to put this wedding off as I don’t think they are the type of people we would want to have at Stoke Park.”
The future Mr and Mrs Carty will now celebrate their nuptials at Parklands, a 17th Century mansion on the Essex and Hertfordshire border.
