Wedded bliss: Sol Campbell and his bride Fiona Barratt share a kiss after marrying at St Andrew's Church in Corbridge, Northumberland today
Blushing bride: Ms Barratt arrives at the church with her father Peter Barratt ahead of the ceremony
Arsenal defender Sol Campbell got married in Northumberland today, while in Tuscany, Dutch World Cup star Wesley Sneijder did the same.
Campbell, 35, and Fiona Barratt, 29, married in the Northumberland village of Corbridge - near her grandfather, Sir Lawrence Barratt's family home.
Among the guests were former colleagues from Arsenal and England, including Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Andrew Cole and Martin Keown.
The couple's nuptials comes a year after Campbell proposed with a £100,000 diamond ring over a romantic dinner.
Although owning homes in both London and Northumberland, Ms Barratt has previously said she hopes to raise their children in the north, of which she wants four.
Ms Barratt was working for Campbell's ex-girlfriend Kelly Hoppen when they became reacquainted after previously meeting on the beach in Barbados 12 years ago.

Campbell ended his 10 month romance with Hoppen - 15 years his senior - in September 2004 and started dating her employee the following year.
In May 2006, Barratt ended up leaving Hoppen and starting her own company - and taking the commission to design Campbell's 18th century townhouse in Chelsea, which had previously been Hoppen's project.
The following month, Barratt joined all the other England WAGS in Baden Baden, Germany during the European Cup.
The down-to-earth designer ended up upsetting some of the other footballer spouses when she told of the hierarchy.
She said: 'They had no idea who I was, thought I didn’t have a pot to p**s in and had no idea of my background.
'I didn’t care and got on the bus with my Financial Times and my sudoku. The non-entity WAGs had to walk out first. The higher the profile, the later they were.
Of course, Queen Bee Victoria (Beckham) came out last, there being at least 10 or 15 minutes before she appeared, and her hair and make-up team were all in the lobby.
'I sat and watched the whole charade. Victoria Beckham... what a nightmare. She’s such a prima donna.'
Meanwhile Holland’s World Cup star Wesley Sneijder married Spanish model Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen in a lavish ceremony in Tuscany.
Sneijder, 26, and van Kasbergen, 25, have been dating for less than a year, after the international and Inter Milan player, who last year won the Champions League and Serie A title, left his wife and four-year-old son last summer.
The affair was a scandal that engrossed Holland.
