Who: Manchester United & England Football Star, Wayne Rooney (23), TV Presenter & WAG Queen, Coleen McLouglin (22)
History: Rooney and McLoughlin grew up in the same area of Liverpool and met when they were just 12 years old before starting to date when they were 16. Rooney proposed to McLoughlin on the forecourt of a BP garage in October 2003 when she was 17, presenting her with a £46,500 diamond engagement ring.
Date: 12th June 2008
Venue: Villa Durazzo, Santa Margherita, Italy
Tab: Wayne and Coleen spent an estimated £5million on the three-day event - more than 260 times the cost of the average British wedding. Exclusive wedding photos have been sold to OK! Mag to cover half of the cost of the wedding.
Guests: The guest list of 60 was surprisingly bereft of celebrities, with the only recognisable faces being 22-year-old Wayne's Manchester United team-mates Wes Brown, Michael Carrick and John O'Shea, and former Everton player Duncan Ferguson. To ensure her guests looked glamorous, Coleen forked out £25,000 to dress her friends.
Dresses: The dress Coleen wore for the blessing ceremony was by New York-based British designers Marchesa and cost £200,000, but the bride splashed out an extra £80,000 on having it fitted. The gown she wore for the civil ceremony beforehand cost £100,000 and was topped off with a £500 pair of cream Christian Louboutin shoes.
Gifts: Guests were asked not to buy gifts but instead to make donations to Liverpool children's charities.
Entertainment: Irish pop group Westlife were paid £400,000 to entertain guests. A live band played a medley of Frank Sinatra songs and enjoyed a £50,000 firework display.
Current Status: Still Married
Cupid Knot Verdict: 3 knots out of 5
