Wayne Rooney's wedding this week was by all accounts as chavvy as it sounds . But this was no typical Wag wedding. The Rooney twosome’s big match, for all its trumpeted extravagance, was signally lacking in star ball-players and glitzy girlfriends, and more a celebration of mates, mums, booze and pizza.
It could have been a scene from a Jack Vettriano painting — loved by the nation, abhorred by art critics — when Coleen stepped from their hired £80m yacht in her £100,000 strapless prom dress, as dark-suited minders held black umbrellas above her head. She had two more outifts to get through: a £200,000 Marchesa wedding gown and an after-hours party dress. Her hubby, “Wazza”, had only one: a brown suit with no tie — no doubt pricier than it seemed.
The couple have been together since meeting in a Croxteth chip shop in their early teens, so their decision to fork out £5m on a leave-your-wallets-at-home extravaganza for 50 friends and family was a big boot upfield. Even if half the cost was being met by an exclusive deal with OK! magazine.
