Wayne Rooney’s wedding to Coleen McLoughlin promises to be a rather more illustrious affair.
The couple has spoken for the first time about their forthcoming nuptials - and their ongoing quest to find the perfect venue.
Indeed, so determined is 21-year-old Miss McLoughlin to make the big day memorable, she has scoured much of Europe to find a suitable venue ahead of their church ceremony next June.
Accompanied by her mother, Colette, she has searched throughout France, Italy, England with a trip to Ireland planned over the coming weeks - at a combined estimated cost of over £20,000.
“We always knew we wanted to get married this summer but it was just a question of when,” Miss McLoughlin told Hello! magazine.
“With Wayne’s football commitments it was hard for us to find a window to do it, but now we have a better idea we can start planning it.
“As soon as we knew the month I started looking for locations and when we make our decision on that then we can put a precise date in the diary.
“It’s simple really; I have always wanted to have a summer wedding and Wayne’s time off is really limited. June fits in with that.”
With Rooney, 22, on club duty with Manchester United, it has been left to his fiancée of four years to do the leg work.
