Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin insist their June wedding will be a low-key family event rather than a 'big celebrity affair' Illuminated by a forest of candles, Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin graciously invite you to share the Christmas celebrations at their multi-million-pound mansion. And if you thought things couldn't get much tackier than that, just wait for the wedding.The footballer and his fiancee have already proved a fixture in the glossy magazines. But the England team's failure to qualify for next summer's Euro 2008 championship has provided 22-year-old Rooney with the ultimate photo opportunity: a June marriage.
The couple have already signed a £1.5million deal with Hello! for exclusive coverage of the nuptials, with the money understood to be going to a children's charity and hospice.
They insist that it will be a low-key family event rather than a "big celebrity affair". But Rooney admits: "Of course, there will be some players from England and Man U. They may be famous but they're my mates."
