But two Towie stars won't be watching her say "I do" when it eventually does take place.
A source said: ' Amy has said all her Towie family will be invited to her wedding with Billy, bar two cast members.
"Although she said she isn't naming names it's clear to everyone who knows who those two cast members are."
Her cousin Harry Derbidge's ex-boyfriend, Joe Blackmore, and his former BFF, Junaid Ahmed, will be notable absentees.
It follows a huge rift after Joe struck up a romance with Junaid following cheating allegations and his subsequent split from Harry.
The insider continued: "While they've done their very best to make amends and try and reintegrate back into the cast fold, Amy has drawn her line in the sand and made her position very clear.
"She and Bill filmed an explosive scene with the pair last year and since then have very much kept their distance."
The last series ended with an emotional Joe and Junaid having make up talks with Jordan (Brooks) and Sophie (Kasaei) as they were invited to his 30th birthday bash.
Harry previously revealed he and Joe - who has a son from a previous relationship - had started planning their wedding and had even discussed having more children.
Speaking to Closer, he said: "He has moved in and we live together now... it's going really good. We talk about loads of things.

"We have planned our futures and I know that will be me forever.
"We want to have kids one day and get married.
"We will just run away to Vegas. We will see Elvis Presley and do it.
"Me and Joe always talk about a Vegas wedding and about surrogacy. If we never worked out, I would be so sad."
But the happy ending never played out and the relationship came to an explosive end after Harry confronted Joe about messages he'd found between him and Junaid.

‘They're perfect – until they aren't': why are people so interested in the Beckxit beef?
If the biggest feud of the week belongs to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, then the longest running is arguably 'Beckxit'. The name given to the fallout between one of the most famous couples in the world – David and Victoria Beckham – and their less famous eldest son, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Anne Peltz, was coined by the Daily Mail this year. But it covers a broader conflict that began in 2022, when Peltz wore Valentino instead of Victoria Beckham to her wedding, and brings us to this week's lavish cover-shoot for German Glamour magazine in which the Beckhams junior discuss their 'occasionally messy, very real love' and whether they might open a restaurant – without a word about her in-laws. Such are the vagaries of celebrity beef, no one really knows what happened in between. But things had clearly ratcheted up when photos of David's 50th birthday party last month appeared online – with no sign of Brooklyn. Further details involving Romeo Beckham's now-ex-girlfriend, various tattoos and a failure to attend one of Victoria's fashion shows began bubbling up, and soon Beckxit had become a reality. Since then every appearance and Instagram post has been picked over by media outlets and armchair journalists alike. Within hours of the Glamour shoot appearing online, the Daily Mail were speculating in one of their 52 stories (and counting) over whether the interview was proof that the feud was far from over. The timing of the Glamour piece was terrible or brilliant, 'depending on whose publicist you were', says PR agent Mark Borkowski, who helped revive Noel Edmonds' career. But however you look at it, it is 'absolutely a war of spin', he says, of the shoot. 'It's what I call a visual soundbite. These images often don't always have the meaning we imbue them with,' he says. 'But we still feed off of it because we are all culprits driven by twitching.' Dr Kadian Pow, a lecturer in sociology at Birmingham City University, agrees. 'The PR moves have to be connected,' she says. 'It's another power play between the two parties.' From the Times of India to Jordanian paper Amman, coverage of this three-year family 'feud' has been extraordinary – especially considering we'll probably never know the truth, nor do we really care. So why are people compelled to read on? 'It's about titillation, and it's about power [and] the Beckhams', says Pow, 'But more widely, these tales are an escape from the doom and political reality [of the news cycle]' says Pow. 'We are fascinated because they are supposed to be richer and better than us – so when we see a flaw that mirrors us ordinary folk and our everyday fallouts, it makes us feel better about ourselves' In The Stars in our Eyes, Julie Klam's 2017 book exploring our fascination with celebrities, celebrity-watching is compared to a fun-house mirror, as if celebrities are constructed to keep ourselves in check. 'If we can get a handle on our relationship to celebrity', Klam writes, 'we can better understand ourselves.' Celebrities are perfect, she says, until they aren't. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Gossip is not without its victims though, warns Mark Stephens, a media lawyer at Howard Kennedy, citing the media's part in the divorce between Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Just as newspapers have dedicated Beckham correspondents, there is an entire Tiktok cottage industry of amateur sleuthing which capitalises on other people's difficulties for clicks and profit. Most of this is unregulated of course. 'And there are libel laws that bring to bear [legal action], but the harm is usually done by that point', says Stephens. Still, fights and breakups are life's great equaliser and occasionally, says Pow, when the stars are as big as the Beckhams, these feuds can be 'a shared experience, which is particularly salient in what has become an increasingly siloed society', she says. 'There isn't a lot of monoculture left, but these big juicy stories allow us to whisper together.' Indeed, celebrity feuds have been entertaining us for centuries. In medieval Italy, the satirist Pietro Aretino was supposedly employed by the French king to write propaganda about the Spanish king, while being paid by the Spanish king to write propaganda about the French king. It was a weaponising of gossip on a par with 2019's Wagatha Christie, in which the machinations of back-stabbing celebrity wives turned Instagram into a global whodunnit. These public disagreements don't just sit within the divorce courts and red tops, but on social media. 'The 2014 elevator beef between Jay Z and Solange was a pivotal moment and how these moments are shared' says Pow, of the leaked CCTV footage of Beyonce's sister hitting the rapper over a supposed infidelity. Sometimes these fights feel curated – and often are. At present, some gossip sites are suggesting the feud has been confected to drum up publicity for Victoria's forthcoming Netflix documentary this October. One reason for the intense Beckxit media interest is that it involves two nepo babies (Peltz is also a billionaire heiress). 'These children are looking to monetise their lives, yet are in economic competition not just with their peer-group, but also their parents,' says Stephens. This is particularly uncomfortable for the Beckham 'brand' which is built on family. Victoria and David came of age 'in full tabloid glare', says Stephens. '[But with the offspring] it's harder – what you have is a case of children growing and boundary finding, except in the public eye.' 'I do think people believe that the kids of celebrities are fair game' says Klam. 'But I do not. Nepo babies have it worse than normal people because everyone thinks they've had everything handed to them.' Still, she says, 'now that Brooklyn is choosing to be in the spotlight, well, he is fair game. It's not like he decided to be a shepherd or something.'

MAFS groom slammed over ‘misogynistic' post as he shares ‘high standards' for future girlfriend after bitter show split
MAFS Australia's Adrian Araouzou has riled up fans after posting a video listing his "high standards" for his future wife. In a video titled "Unpopular opinion 💁🏻♂️", which he uploaded to Instagram, Adrian was seen eating food on a camp chair by a fire as he wrote across the screen. 6 6 6 He wrote: "High standards because I don't want my kids to have a mum who's drunk every weekend, thinks it's ok to disrespect their body, looks at doing anything for their man as a chore, has no faith in God, or prioritises material things over nature's beauty. " Fans weren't best pleased with the message, and made sure he knew it in the comments. "what do you bring to the table though…" said one, while another wrote: "Misogynistic manosphere springs to mind… Andrew Tate!" "Good luck with that.. maybe u should join the priesthood.. no woman would touch u now with your attitude," noted a third. "You must also meet these requirements. Not only your future wife!" wrote a fourth. The 31-year-old reality star appeared on the 12th season of the dating show favourite, marrying Awhina Rutene in the experiment. However, while they initially seemed to like each other when they met at the altar, things went south quickly when Awhina revealed she had a six-year-old son. He later became central to cheating speculation with another bride, Sierah, after they were seen playing footsie under the table at a dinner. While they didn't actually cheat, Adrian later left the experiment for a small period of time, leaving Awhina before eventually returning to complete the show. He also was criticised for making his new wife cry in other scenes after refusing to take part in writing a confession letter. MAFS Australia star Dave Hand reveals heartbreaking truth behind his marriage breakdown At the Final Vows the pair decided to break things off, thinking they wouldn't work. However, in a strange twist, before the show was over they had their mind and opted to give their relationship a proper shot away from the series. Unfortunately they didn't work out, and since the show aired they have both remained single. 6 6 6
