Rod Stewart said that his relationship with newly-wedded wife Penny Lancaster is the most wonderful one of all his previous marriages.
Rod Stewart says his relationship with new wife Penny Lancaster is "the most wonderful romance of my life". The twice-divorced rock singer, 62, married the 36-year-old model in a low-key ceremony in Italy on Saturday (16.06.07) and gave the glowing tribute at the couple's reception.
He gushed: "It wasn't love at first sight but it has grown into the most wonderful romance of my life." The couple, who have a one-year-old son, Alastair, tied the knot in Santa Margherita Ligure at the impressive Villa Durazzo, watched only by Penny's parents, Sally and Graham. After the ceremony, Rod and Penny were pictured smiling and waving on their luxury yacht in preparation for their reception at mountainside abbey La Carvara. Penny changed into a beautiful full-length gown while Rod wore a traditional black jacket and tails.
Guests at the reception included singer
Michael Bolton and five of Rod's seven children,
Kimberly Stewart, Ruby, Renee, Liam and baby Alastair. His 43-year-old daughter Sarah Streeter was reportedly not invited while troubled son Sean, who was recently charged with assault, failed to make it.
The newlyweds decided not to have a gift list, instead asking guests to donate money to five of their chosen charities. Rod was previously married to models Alana Hamilton and Rachel Hunter.
