MATT Healy and his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel have splashed out over £100k on flights for their friends and family to attend their wedding.

The 1975 rocker and ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift will wed model and singer Gabriette in a no-expense-spared ceremony in California this July.

“Matty and Gabbriette want this to be the wedding of their dreams and there will be absolutely no expense spared,” a source told The Sun.

“They are desperate for it to be special for all of their loved ones from start to finish, hence why they have spent so much money just to get them there.

“They’re so excited and certainly know how to party as well. It’s going to be amazing.”

Matty, whose mum is Loose Women star Denise Welch, split from Taylor in 2023. Swift is reportedly set to get married to Travis Kelce in Rhode Island on June 13.
