FIRST LOOK: See Gary Lineker and Danielle Bux's Italian wedding

Football star Gary Lineker and Danielle Bux were married this week, in a lavish Italian wedding.

Although the couple started proceedings with a simple £400 civil ceremony, they didn't miss the opportunity for an A-list bonanza, blowing £250,000 on a extravagent reception for 50 guests.

Taking place in Ravello, on the Amalfi coast, the ceremony took place in the local village hall, with just two guests present to see the pair tie the knot.

Miss Bux wore a simple cream dress for the service, but then slipped into her dream gown for the opulent party, taking place the next day. Looking blissfully happy, the bride posed for pics in a £9,000 satin custom-made gown, designed by Suzanne Neville.

The reception was held at the luxurious Hotel Caruso, the Daily Mail reports, with the newly-weds checking into a opulent three-bedroom suite, with jacuzzi and sea views.

The couple first met two-years ago in a blind date. This is 48-year-old Lineker's second marriage – he first wed Michelle Cockayne in 1986, only to divorce 20-years later in 2006 - and 30-year-old Bux's first.
