The honeymoon's over! The truth about the Brit who wed a blonde TV girl hours after they met in Vegas

Ask the new Mrs Nick Bond just how well she knows her British husband of three weeks and she very gamely has a go at listing all his likes and dislikes.
Favourite colour? ‘Blue, no, sorry that’s mine. Red, yes red!’ replies 23-year-old Alex Gabrielson.
Favourite film? ‘Goodfellas,’ she says, treading on safer ground. Favourite food? ‘Indian,’ she replies confidently.
Man and wife: Nick Bond and Alex Gabrielson start their married life just 17 hours after they met at a casino in Las Vegas
Korma or vindaloo? ‘Um.’ Favourite rock band?
‘Er, he did tell me, but I’ve never heard of them, but he likes hip hop.’
And, most importantly, does he like mayo on his tuna sandwich?
‘I should hope so. How can you have a tuna sandwich without mayo?’ One can only pray that Nick agrees.

Oh dear, they’d never win the television quiz Mr And Mrs. But, then again, what would you expect from a couple who married just 17 hours after meeting in a Las Vegas hotel bar and, to date, have spent a total of four days in each other’s company?
Alex, giving her first full interview on the subject, admits she only knows even these sketchy details about her new husband because her friends suggested the loved-up couple should undergo a quiz-style ‘getting to know you’ session.
After the nuptials, mind you, not before.
'American men can be vulgar, but Nick was a real gentleman. He was very respectful, which I liked. When Nick talked to me, he looked into my eyes, instead of at my legs, and I felt a real connection'
‘It was a bit like speed dating,’ says Alex, a local TV broadcaster from St Cloud in Minnesota, without a hint of embarrassment.
‘There was nothing I found out about Nick that I didn’t like.’
Thank heavens for that. Let’s hope, however, that she has not spoken too soon.
Today, Nick Bond, a 30-year-old financial adviser from Cheam in Surrey and his bride Alex insist they have no regrets. From opposite sides of the Atlantic.
He is back in Britain, after his lads’ holiday to Vegas ended in the most unexpected manner, while she remains in the United States as they sort out all the ‘red tape’ before starting ‘the rest of their lives’ together.
Bizarrely, she has yet to tell her ‘strict, old-fashioned parents’, with whom she lives, who are no doubt soon to get the shock of their lives.
But could this marriage be over before it’s even begun, given the dramatic fall-out after news of their wedding was revealed in Monday’s Mail?
Yesterday, Nick Bond — so effusive about his pretty, young bride a few days ago — was keeping a strangely low profile.
Previously, he enthused: ‘I’ve won the best girl in the world. I’m the luckiest man alive. I went to Vegas to have fun with my mates.
‘Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would meet my future wife.
‘It’s the most insane decision I’ve ever made. But it’s also the best decision. It was love at first sight.
I do: The couple buy a wedding ring in Las Vegas, just hours after they first met
‘I’ve been so happy since I met Alex. It’s like I’m living a dream. There was an instant attraction. She was wearing this sexy, black dress and 4in stiletto heels.
‘She was sexier than any woman in there by a mile. She’s a ten out of ten.’
Could he now be questioning the rash decision to wed on a whim? For he is oddly silent, while his hopelessly devoted new wife — thousands of miles away — is more than happy to wax lyrical about how much they love each other.
Perhaps Mr Bond was stung by the words of his father Peter, 63, who described him as a ‘plonker’ after learning of his whirlwind marriage.
When the Mail spoke to him this week, he’d been ordered by his son to keep schtum, although he couldn’t resist a few choice words.
Strangely enough Mr Bond senior also met and married his Russian second wife, Luba, after a holiday romance — however, he is quick to add that he sensibly waited four years before their 2004 wedding.
‘He is 30, for goodness sake. I thought he’d think it through. He just says she is so fit, so lovely.
'He was very nervous about telling me he was divorced and had two children, but you know, these things happen in life and he was relieved it didn’t put me off.’
‘Nick’s a good-looking guy, that’s his trouble,’ he grumbled before adding, swiftly, ‘but of course, I’m looking forward to meeting Alex. A new daughter-in-law is always an event.’
Nick’s mother Lynda, 60, who lives in Australia, is reported to be ‘in denial’.
Parental anxiety is not the only cloud on Nick’s horizon. There is also the emergence of a ‘girlfriend’, Bournemouth student Laura Paton, 23, who told a red-top tabloid that Nick texted her throughout his Vegas holiday saying that he missed her — and then allegedly bedded her on his return.
Her message to Alex was a stark: ‘She should save the air fare. He can’t be trusted.’
She added that she’d spotted his wedding picture on Facebook, but claimed Nick had laughed it off as a ‘drunken joke’.
She continued: ‘He’s made a mug out of both of us.’
Mr Bond, speaking through a media agent now handling these uncomfortable questions, confirmed that he’d received an e-mail from Laura saying she was ‘angry and upset’ over the wedding.
Nick claims to have shared a few dates with Laura, but says they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, nor — he insisted — had he seen her since his return as a married man.
To add to his woes, yesterday there appeared to be yet another girlfriend, Tessa, prepared to share her romantic opinion of Mr Bond, which will no doubt be at odds with the one formed by his adoring American wife.
This young lady apparently claims to have enjoyed a serious six-month relationship with Mr Bond prior to his wedding, and is none too pleased to find herself so entirely displaced in his affections.
Wedding bells: Nick and Alex kiss after their marriage ceremony
Publicist Max Clifford is believed to be representing her.
Yesterday, Nick Bond said, via his ‘spokesman’, that he’d split up from this girlfriend six weeks before he went to Vegas.
Then, and most intriguingly of all, there is the matter of the first Mrs Bond, the mother to his two children, a son aged nine and a daughter eight.
Now remarried, his ex-wife Sally is said to be furious, hurt and upset over Mr Bond’s public declaration that ‘this is the first time I have properly been in love’.
Divorced in 2004, after a two-year marriage, the first Mrs Bond was yesterday said to be considering sharing her less than enamoured views on Nick Bond with the world.
And what might Mr Bond’s employers think of this unwelcome attention?
Last September, he joined a Guildford-based company specialising in overseas pension schemes, and features on the ‘meet the team’ section of their website.
Very smart he looks, too. And let us not forget that Mr Bond has yet to face his future father-in-law, a prospect which must clearly worry him if the ‘gun-toting’ descriptions of Mr Gabrielson are to be believed.
‘I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified,’ he admitted to the Mail.
‘He’d had a little bit to drink, but ten vodka and Red Bulls spaced over a ten-hour period is not going to impair his judgment.'
Surely the media storm surrounding Nick Bond will filter back to Alex’s parents before he has a chance to return to America in the next few weeks to tell his in-laws in person and, bizarrely, to ask Mr Gabrielson for his daughter’s hand in marriage retrospectively?
This has yet to fully register with Alex in St Cloud, or should that be on Cloud Nine, or indeed in Cloud Cuckoo Land? When I spoke to her this week, she was revelling in being a married woman and insisted Nick had been totally honest and up-front with her about his first marriage and romantic life.
‘He was very nervous about telling me he was divorced and had two children, but you know, these things happen in life and he was relieved it didn’t put me off,’ says Alex, who insists she also knew that until he met her, he was thoroughly enjoying life as a single man.
‘Until now I’ve never been impulsive. I’ve always been a very logical, cautious person, making plans because I need to know what’s going to happen,’ says the daughter of a well-to-do businessman and devout Roman Catholic mother, who admits her childhood was privileged.
A broadcast graduate from St Cloud State University, Alex said she’d had her heart broken a couple of times by American men, and had decided she was going to stay single and concentrate on her career. Until she met Nick.
It was midnight on April 15 when their eyes met across the room at the Jet Bar at the Mirage Hotel, where Alex was attending a conference with a group of friends, and where Nick was living it up with some lads, and reportedly downing vodka and Red Bull.
'In love': Nick carries Alex across his hotel room threshold after they wed
‘I was completely sober and Nick had had a few drinks but he wasn’t intoxicated or his judgment impaired,’ says Alex.
‘American men can be a little vulgar, but Nick was a real gentleman. He was very respectful, and honest, which I liked.
‘When Nick talked to me, he looked into my eyes, instead of looking at my legs, and I felt a real connection.
‘We just clicked and it was wonderful to find someone who shared exactly the same sense of humour. I thought: “I just can’t believe I’ve found someone as geeky as me.”’
Indeed, one of Nick’s opening chat-up lines was the script from the ‘bunk beds’ scene in the American ‘gross-out’ movie Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
‘That is one of my favourite scenes,’ says Alex, ‘and when I finished the words off for him he said: “I can’t believe you know that movie, too”.’
Clearly, they will have plenty to talk about in the years to come.
Who knew?
Las Vegas is the second most popular city in the world to get married in, behind Istanbul, Turkey, with around 114,000 weddings a year
Three-and-half hours after meeting, as the two groups of friends enjoyed a late night meal, Nick asked Alex what he would have to do if she wanted him to propose and she told him he’d have to get down on one knee.
By 5pm next day, once they had sorted out all the appropriate paperwork, they were married at the Special Memory wedding Chapel. Plenty of time, says Alex, for Nick to have sobered up.
Not that he was remotely drunk, of course.
‘He’d had a little bit to drink, but ten vodka and Red Bulls spaced over a ten-hour period is not going to impair his judgment,’ says Alex.
Having whizzed through their entire biographies and relationship history before their wedding, they were both seemingly content to be swept along by the sheer romance of it all.
‘A fairytale’, according to Alex, a ‘dream’ says Nick.
‘I didn’t have cold feet, and neither did Nick. None of our friends tried to stop us. They were excited for us,’ she says.
She continues: ‘I did warn him that I sometimes have a short temper and little patience, but he said he could live with that.’
He’ll have to, should Alex take a dim view of whatever his exes might have to say.
‘I know we haven’t known each other very long, but I know that I love him and marriage is all about discovering new things about the person you love,’ she says, sounding rather like a fortune cookie.
‘It’s a journey. In that moment, my life changed in a blink of an eye. Before meeting Nick I was very independent. I never even thought about marriage, but he made me change my whole perception about being part of a relationship.
New life: Nick and Alex say it was 'love at first sight' when they met
‘The morning after our wedding night I didn’t think: “What have I done?” I just felt very happy and peaceful.
‘I had no doubts at all about marrying Nick. When he woke up I just said: “Hello gorgeous”, and he smiled at me.
‘We both felt good about being man and wife.’
Four days later, however, the couple parted, with Alex returning with her friends to Minnesota, where she is anchor on a local TV news station, while Nick remained in America, trapped by the volcano dust cloud which had delayed flights home.
‘It was awful leaving Nick to go home. He saw me into the taxi to take me to the airport and told me that he loved me and was missing me already,’ says Alex, who is planning to visit Nick in Britain at the end of May — her first trip to the UK — before taking him to meet the parents.
‘When I got home I told my aunt, who picked me up from the airport, that I’d got married and she went: “Waa! Oh My God!” but was thrilled for me, and I told my brother and he said: “What have you done?” but was OK with it.
‘We are a little bit worried, and we are in this together, and we will deal with whatever happens. I don’t think my father will insist on a divorce or an annulment.’
‘But I haven’t been able to tell my parents yet. My father is very strict and old-fashioned, and I think he will be a bit upset and hurt, but at the end of the day all parents want their children to be happy, which I am.
‘Although obviously they are going to be a bit concerned,’ adds Alex, who insists that although her father owns a hunting rifle, the ‘gun-toting’ image is wide of the mark.
‘Nick and I want to tell them together, face-to-face, and we don’t really know what their reaction will be,’ she says.
‘Nick wants to ask my father properly for my hand in marriage and then we’ll plan a proper church blessing and have a real honeymoon.
‘He is very nervous about that, but I’m hoping my parents will love him as much as I do.’
Whether, given the Press attention and internet stories on the couple, her parents will remain in the dark must be in some doubt.
‘I’ve told them I’ve met and fallen in love with a British guy, but I haven’t told them about the marriage. My mother did ask me about the ring I was wearing, but I just told her that Nick had bought it for me.
‘We are a little bit worried, and we are in this together, and we will deal with whatever happens. I don’t think my father will insist on a divorce or an annulment.’ Alex, banking on her parents’ approval, is now busy dreaming of her future.
She says she is looking forward to meeting her new stepchildren — for whom this must have come like a bolt from the blue — and moving to Britain, where she plans to try to find work, if not as a TV journalist then in theatre production.
‘We’ve talked about having children,’ says Alex, ‘but not for a while yet. We want to enjoy being together as man and wife first. I am very happy to be Mrs Bond and I am 100 per cent certain about marrying him.
‘This marriage is for life,’ she says with absolute certainty.
‘Until I met Nick I was a cynic, I never believed in love at first sight, but I do now because it’s happened to me.’
Given that there may yet be a few unpleasant discoveries from his ex-wife and former girlfriends, one would hesitate to place a bet on their chances of celebrating
