Wayne and Coleen ’to wed next year’ - Mar 19 2007
Wayne Rooney is "likely" to marry his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin next summer, sources have revealed.

The England international is set to tie the knot with his long-term girlfriend in the summer of 2008.

No precise date has yet been fixed but the nuptials are likely to have to work around the national team’s fixtures in the Euro 2008 tournament.

The news follows the completion of a £1.5m deal with Hello! magazine earlier this month to exclusively cover the couple’s big day.

The staggering figure is thought to be the largest ever paid by a celebrity magazine to cover a wedding.

Contracts were completed around three weeks ago and the enormous sum also includes exclusive access to Coleen’s 21st birthday party to be held in the Wirral later this month. Both bashes will be lavish affairs with stringent security for the couple and their showbiz guests.

Details of Coleen’s birthday, expected to be held at Thornton Hall in two weeks’ time, emerged in the national press earlier this month.

The couple met in 1998 and began dating in 2001 when Coleen was only 14-years-old. Rooney is rumoured to have proposed to her on the forecourt of a petrol station in 2003.

Sources close to the striker said: "It’s likely the wedding will be next summer although a definite date has not been arranged yet."

Images from the photoshoot will appear in neon lights near London’s Piccadilly Tube station.

Coca-Cola GB’s marketing director, Cathryn Sleight, said: "Wayne and Coleen are great ambassadors for Coca-Cola Zero and Diet Coke alike and we hope the public agree they look amazing in these pictures."

Coca-Cola would not say how much the celebrity couple had been paid for appearing in the adverts.

Wayne is already under contract with the soft drinks giant as part of a wider sponsorship deal, a spokeswoman said.

Coleen is currently the face of Asda’s range of "must haves" clothing, while her fiance took part in football-related promotions for the supermarket chain earlier this year.

Biography

Born on October 24 1985, Wayne Rooney made his footballing debut at just sixteen for his childhood club, Everton.  He immediately made an impact with football fans all over the world and scooped the Sports Young Personality of the Year Award just a few months later.

During a well remembered game for Everton he sported a tshirt bearing the slogan ’once a blue, always a blue’.  Just a short time later he demanded a transfer and was sold to Manchester United, where he remains.  He has also made several appearances for the English national side however, his success was marred by his 2006 World Cup sending off alongside the broken foot which almost saw him miss out on the tournament.

Footballing talent aside Wayne is probably better known as Mr Colleen McLoughlin these days.  He is engaged to his childhood sweetheart who has stuck by him through tabloid accusations of visits to prostitutes and gambling problems.  He has also won libel damages from The Sun and News of the World after they claimed he had assaulted Colleen in a nightclub.

Rooney has recently signed the biggest sports publishing deal ever and will let us in on his secrets over the course of his career through the medium of ghost writer.  However, even before his first book hits the shelves he has stumbled on controversy - Everton manager David Moyes is to sue his former wonderboy over claims surrounding his exit from the football club.  It seems that wherever this Croxteth lad goes trouble is sure to follow...
