London, May 6 (ANI): WAG Jessica Lawlor wants to get hitched on a secluded beach just so her Premier League star fiance Stephen Ireland can't turn it into a Big Fat Gypsy-style wedding.
The 26-year-old is concerned the 90,000-pound-a-week Aston Villa midfielder will go over the top and turn it into a scene from the popular reality TV show.
In the past the Irish footballer has bought a 260,000-pound customised Bentley with special red and white leather seats and the words "To Jess Love From Stephen" stitched into the headrest.
It doesn't stop there. The entrance hall to their Cheshire mansion has a 100,000-pound fish tank, a pool table with "Ireland" written on it and a flash bar.
Even the kitchen has diamante lampshades and in the lounge the three gigantic sofas are studded with crystals.
Upstairs there is a purple velvet-encased TV that rises from a podium at the end of the bed.
Mum-of-three Jessica admits they were "young and naive" when Stephen, 25, first started earning mega wages.
"We weren't used to having money. We were foolish and some of it was over the top. But we weren't harming anybody. There was never the intention to go crazy - but I suppose we did. That would never happen now," the Sun quoted her as saying.
"I will have a bit of bling on my wedding day but I know people will imagine us wanting a Big Fat Gypsy-style wedding.
"Part of me thinks we should run away and do it on a beach somewhere with just our closest friends and family.
"At the end of the day I just want to get married to the man I love," she said.
Both Jessica and Stephen were brought up in Irish Catholic working-class families and fell for each other after a friend introduced them.
She happily took on his son and daughter from a previous relationship - Joshua, seven, and Jessica, five - who live with the couple and their son Jacob, three.
"When we first met we couldn't afford the things we have now. We didn't have designer clothes and flash cars. But three years ago Stephen had his contract with Manchester City renewed and we were young and went a bit daft," she added.
But that was swiftly followed by a 90,000-pound black Range Rover and a 100,000-pound Audi R8. He rounded off his fleet with a Lamborghini and a Porsche Cayenne.
The couple are now much more sensible with money - and Jessica even hunts for bargains in supermarkets and Top Shop.
The couple got engaged after Jessica suffered a broken leg and shoulder in a near-fatal car crash last year. The scare also made her determined to have a career.
Now she has landed a tongue-in-cheek role in 'WAG! The Musical', which starts next month in Walthamstow, East London. (ANI)
