Woman pays for her dream £300k Italian wedding by working on OnlyFans
A woman has shared how her OnlyFans career helped her to fund the glamorous £300,000 ($320,000) Italian wedding of her dreams.
Bonnie Locket, who you might recognise from her appearance in ITV's Olivia Atwood: Getting Filthy Rich, pulled out all the stops last month when she tied the knot with her partner Bradley Hepburn.
The wedding reception, held in Lake Como, had everything from water limousines for the guests to a six-tier cake, and a £10,000 fireworks display.

Bonnie, 34, said: "I always dreamt of an extravagant wedding and, from a little girl, always knew my wedding would be a pantomime. And that it was, with guests arriving by boat, fine dining, fireworks, boat parties - the works!"
When you break it down, Bonnie spent £50,000 on production elements, like lighting and a marquee, as well as £25,000 on a band.
The OnlyFans model then forked out £50,000 on flowers - designed by celebrity florist Larry Walshe - and £260 on her wedding cake.
For her fishtail wedding dress, complete with a five-metre train, Bonnie spent a whopping £20,000, while an additional £12,000 went to her wedding planner.
All of this was paid for by Bonnie's OnlyFans, which she launched two years ago during the pandemic. She's now raking in between £150,000 to £250,000 per month on the platform.
It made her wedding dreams come true, but Bonnie emphasises it's not easy work.
"It’s not an easy job to do - it’s basically 24 hours a day, I’m on my page constantly," she said.
"People don’t realise how much work goes into OnlyFans, it’s not just posting content and it’s not easy to earn the kind of money I make."
All the effort was worth it however, to treat Bonnie's 80 guests to a once in a lifetime wedding.
“So many guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and how it was an experience of a lifetime," Bonnie said.
“We wanted to give our friends and family a once in a lifetime experience and that’s exactly what we did. From welcome drinks at Grand Hotel Tremezzo - one of the top 10 hotels in the world - to getting married in the same place that John Legend did.
"[We also had] an after party until 4am on a party boat cruising on the lake, and an open bar farewell party with our own DJ.
"We had stunningly outrageous flowers – Larry Walshe really outdid himself. I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers in my life.
"The guests were treated with the luxury they all deserved. Some of my family have never even been abroad, so this was such a totally new experience for them and I’m so proud and happy we could do it for them."
Now, Bonnie and her husband are getting ready to jet off to Bora Bora and the Bahamas for their honeymoon this December, spending an eye-watering £50,000 on their business class flights, waterfront accommodation and private swimming pools.
