CHRISTINE Bleakley didn’t have trouble finding something blue as she tied the
knot with Chelsea legend Frank Lampard yesterday.
The couple braved the rain as they were married in star-studded ceremony at a
church in Knightsbridge, West London.
Their wedding ended one of the longest celebrity engagements after announcing
their plans in June 2011.
Former Daybreak and Dancing on Ice presenter Christine, 36, looked stunning as
she wore a plunging white gown.

They were joined by her ITV colleagues, Ant and Dec, both 40, Philip
Schofield, 53, and Piers Morgan, 50.
Frank’s uncle and former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, 68, attended along
with cousin Jamie Redknapp, 42 and wife Louise, 41.
The former England ace’s daughters Luna, 10, and Isla, eight, with ex-wife
Elen Rivas were Christina’s flower girls.
Chelsea star John Terry, 35, who played with Frank, 37, at the club for 13
years was joined by former team-mates Petr Cech, 33, Joe Cole, 34, and Jody
Morris, 36.
But former Blues boss Jose Mourinho, 52, skipped the ceremony despite being
pictured walking past the church just hours earlier.
They met at an awards ceremony in 2009 and Christine described how they
“instantly clicked”.
Their engagement came two years later when he proposed with a huge diamond
ring on the beach while on holiday in LA.
But Frank’s busy football schedule made it difficult for them to find a
wedding date.
However, his move to New York City FC allowed them to hold a winter wedding
due to the Christmas break in the US fixture list.
Speaking about their long engagement, Christine previously said: “We do feel
married anyway.
“I can’t see how marriage changes anything except making it more official.
“Frank’s not a Groomzilla but he’s more interested than I thought he would be.”
The guests were taken by coach to a reception at the swanky private members
Arts Club in nearby Mayfair.
