They flew back to Liverpool from their nuptials on the Italian
Riviera showing off similar platinum wedding bands. Coleen’s was
topped by a magnificent diamond the size of a chicken nugget.
Last night a top jeweller said her ring alone could be worth
£250,000. Eileen Kelly, of Abiba jewellers in London’s Hatton
Garden, said: “It’s beautiful and obviously a bespoke piece.
“I would say, because it is so unusual, that she has has chosen
the design and had them specially made. “Both rings are channel-set
with two rows of diamonds and hers is offset with a massive
marquise cut diamond on top. What a lovely way to start married
life.”
Wayne and his bride, both 22, were happy to show off their
wedding rings to for wellwishers as they boarded a specially
chartered jet from Genoa back to Liverpool at lunchtime yesterday
with more than 60 relatives and close friends. One family friend
said: “Coleen and Wayne are deliriously happy—head over heels in
love.
The Rooneys’ flight home brought to an end almost five days of
festivities surrounding the couple’s £5 million wedding on the
Italian Riviera.
They had tied the knot in a civil ceremony on Thursday at Villa
Durazzo in Santa Margherita Ligure, near Genoa. Last night it
emerged that police brought an end to Wayne’s pre-wedding party at
his five-star hotel, The Bentley, after local residents complained
about the noise.
Rooney’s boisterous group, including father Wayne Snr and
brothers Graham and John, partied into the small hours of Thursday
morning with music blaring from his £750-a-night suite. The
Manchester United and England star apologised immediately to
officers who knocked on the door of his room and the music was
turned down.
A police spokesman in Genoa said: “Several calls were received
from residents complaining about the level of the music coming from
the hotel.
“I understand Wayne Rooney himself was very polite and
courteous, he apologised and the music was turned down."
Following Thursday’s ceremony the Rooney party then held a
marathon two-day party with endless booze and pizza at La Cervara,
a converted monastery nearby and back at The Bentley.
After a honeymoon half-time in Liverpool, Wayne and Coleen are
expected to fly to the Caribbean for the second-half.
