Rooney makes wedding plans
Thursday, February 21, 2008
With England not playing in next year’s European Championship, Wayne Rooney is planning a honeymoon instead.
The England striker intends to use the involuntary break in June to wed his longtime girlfriend Coleen McLoughlin.
“For a while we couldn’t make any plans because I didn’t know whether I would be playing in Euro 2008,” said the Manchester United star, who has been dating McLoughlin for five years. “But when we failed to qualify, as devastating as that was, we were able to come up with some firm dates.
“Had England got through to the tournament then we would have married later on in the summer but that meant we wouldn’t have had a honeymoon. So I guess there is some upside to it.”
The couple are yet to set a date but has looked at potential venues in Italy, France, Ireland and England.
