Wayne on his wedding

Football star Wayne Rooney wed his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin in 2008, the ceremony was set at Villa Durazzo, a 300 year old palace in the Italian Riviera then they had the reception at a medieval abbey named La Cervara. The ceremony and the reception cost several million pounds but they did have a magnificent ceremony during which they said their vows in Italian but unfortunately it rained all day so celebrities can’t buy good weather.

The Medieval abbey they used was a short distance away from the same place that Rod Stewart had been married to Penny Lancaster, so obviously it was a popular area for celebrities to tie the knot. A setting can also be the perfect way of creating a smokescreen when it comes to celebrity weddings,
