Irish band Westlife will perform at Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney’s wedding.

Wayne has been able to sign them up as a treat for his bride-to-be as the June 14th wedding date coincides with a break in the group’s touring schedule.

The band hits include the romantic tunes Flying Without Wings and Queen of My Heart although they do not really fit in with footballer Wayne’s tough-man image but Rooney does not mind as he wants to make Coleen happy.

Wayne had also tried to hire the band for Coleen’s 21st birthday party but they were unable to attend.

Meanwhile, the bride-to-be Coleen has had to make an emergency trip to New York as she lost so much weight that her wedding dress needs alterations, which will be made by the label’s top designers.

One need to do little planning for getting the right wedding transport. Following are few key points you need to bear in mind when you decide what to have.

  • Wedding transport should be in keeping with the rest of the wedding. If you’re planning a very sophisticated event, then turning up in your dad’s old banger won’t hit quite right note.
  • Before you buy private car leasing services, make sure you see the car before booking or paying a deposit. Photos and leaflets don’t show marks, dents or a scruffy interior.
  • The wedding car will be backdrop for wedding photos, so make sure the colour of the car doesn’t clash with the bride’s bouquet or the bridesmaids’ dresses.
  • Buy the ribbon for the front of the car well in advance and ask a reliable (and handy) member of the bridal party to attach it to the car on the day. This can be surprisingly fiddly, so for a professional result, practice is essential.
  • For a stylish effect, colour co-ordinate the ribbon on the car with the general colour theme of your wedding.
  • In the excitement of your car leasing, don’t forget the other members of bridal party. You will also need transport for your parents and the bridesmaids.
  • If you’re going on honeymoon straight after the wedding, remember that you’ll have to take your luggage with you to the reception. Taking care of all these practicalities is traditionally the best man’s job, so liaise with him to ensure that all goes smoothly on the day.
  • Confirm any bookings at least a week before the big day — you don’t want to find out that your wedding car has been double-booked on the morning of the wedding!

Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has requested guests attending his upcoming wedding to donate money to charity rather than bring gifts.

The Two and a Half Men star is marrying his fiancée Brooke Mueller at the end of this month and has asked for guests to make a donation to Chrysalis – a charity which supports those affected by domestic violence.

It is thought money raised from the donations will go towards the Chrysalis’s annual fund raising gala.

Previously Charlie has said that he is banning ties from his big day as it’s going to be hot and he wants to create a relaxed atmosphere.

It will be the actor’s third wedding, having been married to Donna Pelle and actress Denise Richards, with whom he has two kids.

He proposed to Brooke with a £250,000 engagement ring last July.
