Your handy Rooney wedding digest

Despite their £2.5m golden handcuffs OK! magazine deal, luckily a few details have emerged from Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s glitzy wedding ceremony, which took place in Italy yesterday morning.

It rained. Not just a spot of drizzle – it absolutely tipped it down. But fear not, for in the land of spaghetti hoops and Dolmio sauce, it turns out this is a good omen! Hooray!

“Sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata” say the good folk of Portofino, which roughly translates into Scouse as “a wet bride is a lucky bride”. This is handy because Coleen reportedly spent most of the 20-minute ceremony shedding a bucketload of tears. Aw.

Coleen, looking beautiful in her Merchesa wedding dresses – note the plural, she changed twice – and Wayne, in a sporty brown suit, then went on to a glitzy reception, where guests were entertained by fireworks and a Frank Sinatra impersonator. You’d think with their money they’d be able to afford the real thing, wouldn’t you?

Guests included Wayne’s Manchester United colleagues Wes Brown and Michael Carrick, along with boxer Ricky Hatton. However, one person who didn’t show up was Wayne’s infamous breast-exposing cousin Natalie.

Poor Nat, who infamously gave photographers an eyeful at Coleen’s 21st birthday party, didn’t even get an invite. She was even moved to update her Facebook status accordingly yesterday: “Natalie Rooney says... Do you Coleen (SMELLY BEAN) take Wayne (DIRTY DICK) Rooney, to be you [sic] lying chesting [sic] husband!! [sic]”

Qiute. Sic.
