Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney's wedding dampened by torrential rain

It doesn't stop pouring on their big day

Newlyweds: Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin

Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney’s £5million wedding was hampered by downpours.

The pair tied the knot in a civil ceremony at the exclusive Villa Durazzo in the Italian town of Portofino yesterday.

The WAG was snapped being sheltered under a huge umbrella.

‘She was smiling bravely, but it must have been her worst nightmare,’ a source tells The Sun.

‘It’s been gorgeous all week, then it buckets down.’

But locals insist a downpour is a blessing, saying ‘a wet bride is a lucky bride’.

Mayor Gianni Costa, conducted the 20-minute service and the marriage was later blessed at a nearby former monastery.

'Everyone was very emotional and there were a few tears from everyone — especially the bride,' he said.

'When the translator from London told them they were man and wife, everyone clapped and cheered.’

Coleen and Wayne, both 22, were watched by his parents Wayne Sr, 45, and Jeanette, 41, and her folks Tony, 48, and Colette, 46.
