AceShowbiz - Kerry Katona, the former Atomic Kitten star, has shared a heartfelt rationale behind canceling her much-anticipated Las Vegas wedding to her fiance Ryan Mahoney. The couple has had to reconsider their plans out of respect for Kerry's children, who expressed their strong desire to be part of the special day.

The 43-year-old singer and media personality revealed in her OK! Magazine column that her daughters, Molly (22) and Lilly-Sue (20), from her first marriage to Brian McFadden, strongly opposed the idea of Kerry getting married in Las Vegas without them. She humorously mentioned to her daughters, "I told them they'd already been at too many of my weddings!" Kerry's decision to prioritize her children's wishes ultimately led her to rethink her wedding venue and plans, putting the Vegas idea on hold.

Kerry's wedding journey has been anything but conventional. After three marriages that ended for various reasons, including the tragic passing of her third husband, George Kay, Kerry has been hesitant to rush into tying the knot again. She and Ryan, who met on the dating app Bumble and got engaged during a family holiday in Spain, have been together for nearly five years. Despite her self-proclaimed "abysmal" track record with marriages, Kerry remains hopeful for a "happily ever after" with Ryan.

Initially, Kerry and Ryan had planned to elope to Las Vegas for a low-key ceremony. The plan was aligned with Ryan's preference for a less extravagant affair. "I'm just going to p**s off to Vegas, not tell anybody. Just me, Ryan and the kids, and do it there," Kerry had stated. However, with her daughters' heartfelt objections, the couple is now considering alternative destinations like Mexico for a more family-inclusive and relaxing celebration.

Beyond the wedding plans, there's more on the horizon for the couple. Kerry has shared that Ryan intends to adopt her youngest child, Dylan Jorge (DJ), who was fathered by her late husband George Kay. She emphasized the emotional and security reasons behind this decision, noting that DJ has only ever known Ryan as a father figure.

Throughout her reflections and candid admissions, Kerry attracts empathy and understanding from her audience. Her life, marked by publicized marital challenges and personal growth, resonates with many who seek love and stability. In her humorous yet poignant way, Kerry concludes, "When I marry Ryan, I'm just going to go to Vegas with Elvis," highlighting both her resilience and her continued romantic aspirations despite past experiences.

As Kerry and Ryan navigate these personal milestones, their story serves as a testament to the complexities of family dynamics, the enduring hope for love, and the importance of listening to those we care about most.
