Congratulations go to Bryan and
Kerry!!! Westlife member,
Bryan McFadden and former Atomic Kitten
member, Kerry Katona married on Saturday
(5th January) in a small country church
in Rathfeigh, County Meath, Ireland.
The wedding which took place at the
Church Of The Immaculate Conception was
attended by guests that included a whole
range of celebrities including all the
other members of Westlife: Shane Filan,
Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan,
plus Ronan Keating, S Club 7, Lee Ryan
from all-male band, Blue and Dane Bowers.
Shane Filan was one of Bryan's groomsmen
while fellow Kitten, Tash was one of
Kerry's bridesmaids. Dane Bowers,
former band member for Another Level
performed 'From The Heart' accompanied
by the London Gospel Choir. The
bride arrived more than one hour late at
the ceremony which was heavily guarded
by security. Photography by guests
and spectators was
banned from the ceremony as Hello!
magazine had signed an exclusive deal to
publish pictures and the details of the
ceremony. The couple were married
by Bryan's former school chaplain,
Father J J Mullen. Also gathered
outside the church were around 200
screaming fans. We wish Bryan and
Kerry a very, very happy future together
and best wishes! |
