Cheryl Tweedy Fansite

 The Cheryl Tweedy wedding – turning Tweedy into Cole after she married English Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole – took place on July 15, 2006 at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire.

Though originally to be a quiet, friends-only affair, the wedding ended up being paid for by OK! magazine. The magazine did so in exchange for the rights to shoot photos of the wedding, which resulted in several guests refusing to attend, as they didn’t want to be a part of the coverage.

Catering to hundreds of guests and wearing a £110,000 Roberto Cavalli dress, Tweedy tied the knot with Cole (who wore a suit that was almost the same colour as Tweedy’s dress) at Wrotham Park. The pair didn’t know, however, that Wrotham Park had no marriage license, and thus their marriage was not legally binding.

They were formally married at Sopwell House Hotel at St Albans, surrounded by close friends and family – just as they’d originally planned.
