Man United captain, Maguire marries childhood friend

Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire on Saturday the 25th of June 2022 wed his childhood sweetheart Fern Hawkins in a stunning ceremony at a French chapel, Thesun reported.

England defender shared a sweet picture from the nuptials today on his Instagram page.

The couple got engaged in Paris in 2018 and share daughters Lillie Saint and Piper Rose.

Fern shared an image of her in a “Future Mrs Maguire” veil three weeks ago as the wedding countdown began.

In a heartfelt caption, Harry, 29, said the nuptials were “a day I’ll never forget”.

Harry and Fern, 27, tied the knot at the Chateau de Varennes in the South of France, which is voted one of the top ten wedding venues in the world.

It is understood the wedding party flew by private jet to France on Thursday.

Fern was then joined by her bridesmaids – including England goalie Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan Davison.

Harry’s sister Daisy, 21, was maid of honour for the big event, while his brothers Laurence, 25, and Joe, 30, also jetted in.

It came after the couple had a registry office ceremony in Crewe last month to obtain a UK marriage certificate.

Around 30 guests attended the fairytale ceremony.

The happy day is sure to come as a relief for the couple, who found themselves at the centre of a bomb scare in May.

They were forced to flee their home after the email threat in April.

Cheshire police searched the premises but no device was found.

Centre-back Harry later slammed Utd fans for sending the threat, which came during a tough season for the club.

He said: “Obviously I’m going to be criticised. Manchester United paid a large sum of money for me, it is one of the most loved clubs in the world and one of the most hated.

“We know we are under the most scrutiny. I totally accept criticism when we concede goals or make mistakes. I’m big enough to accept people getting on my back and saying I can improve.

“But there is a line where we are human beings. I do have a family.

“It doesn’t affect me too much but when it comes to bomb threats, it is more about family — my fiancée, Fern.

“I’m just happy my kids are at an age where they don’t read things and see things on the news.”

The skipper came under fire repeatedly during the season, which saw Utd finish a miserable sixth in the league.

Harry, who joined the Red Devils for a record-breaking £80million in 2019, has appeared out of form.

He was also booed by England fans during the Three Lions’ 1-0 win against Ivory Coast at Wembley in March.

Science and physiotherapy graduate Fern first met Harry when he was 18 and playing for Sheffield United’s youth team.
