Singer Cheryl Tweedy marries Ashley Cole

The World Cup fever has barely simmered down when Ashely Cole and Cheryl Tweedy (of Girls Aloud Fame) has decided to tie the knot at a chapel at a Hertfordshire stately home. Congratulations to Tweedy for becoming Mrs Cole.

The couple successfully managed to distract the media by arranging for staff at two different venues to confirm that each setting was the wedding location. But the location of the nuptials was eventually leaked when a bystander spotted Tweedy outside the Holy Trinity Chapel at Wrotham Park in Barnet, Hertfordshire, draped in a sheet, with only her silver shoes on show.

Her fiancé Cole was later seen in the vicinity of the chapel, wearing a silver suit. According to reports, the couple signed an exclusive deal, reported to be worth £1m, with OK! magazine for the wedding photos.

Meanwhile, Ashley Cole's future at Arsenal appears a bit shaky when he announced recently that the Gunners used him as a scapegoat over the 'tapping-up' affair with Premiership champions Chelsea. He shot off the criticism while promoting his new book.

"Arsenal hung me out to dry, using me as a scapegoat to get back at Chelsea. The board `rewarded' me with an insult and threw years of loyalty back in my face. I'll reveal the shattering truth about who fed me to the sharks. It changed my view forever on the club I regarded as family.'

Arsene Wenger insists he wants Cole to stay at the club. It remains to be seen if Wenger means what he said as team morale is bound to be affected with Cole's continued presence. Contrast this situation with Jaap Stam's conflict years back with Alex Ferguson due to his autobiography, and the end result was Stam being 'thrown' out of the club before he even knew what hit him. However, Soccer Pundit feels that Arsenal may keep him for at least one more season due to their lack of better candidates to fill the left-back role.
