Some Might Pay... £10k For Wed Day














Liam and Nicole snub big bash for bargain celebration

Millionaire rocker Liam Gallagher had a "bargin basement" wedding, spending less then £10,000 on the days celebrations.

The Oasis frontman and new wife Nicole Appleton snubbed a mega-money bash for a quiet gathering in their hotel room.

They invited a handfull of close friends and family for drinks after a ceremony in a nearby register office.

Songbird Liam, 35, who turned down "six-figure sums" from some of Britain's top glossy magazines to cover the day, shelled out for the £2,000-a-night Presidential Suite at London's five-star Landmark Hotel for the low-key celebration.

But palatial room 510 was the most expensive part of the day's fun, which cost less then the average £11,000 British wedding.

The guests, who included Nicole's All Saints pal Melanie Blatt, 32, and Liam's mum Peggy, drank their way through bottles of bubbly and cans of Stella while dining on bangers and mash.

A hotel source said: "The party went straight from the register office over the road to the hotel and locked themselves inside the Presidential Suite all night.

"The room is amazing, with a dining area for six, a huge white-carpeted living room with a massive four-poster bed.

"Liam's kids were given free rein to run around the rooms and in the hallways - they were having great fun. Everyone had a good time.

"It shows you don't have to go crazy with the money on your wedding day to enjoy yourself.

"Liams never been one to brag about cash because he knows what it's like to live on a pittance. He had nothing before Oasis made it big.

"Their wedding was about making a long-term relationship official and they did that.

"It wasn't about splashing the cash."

Liam tied the knot at the Old Marylebone Town Hall - the same venue where he married first wife Patsy Kensit, 39, in 1997. They split three years later.

He returned from Los Angeles, where he has been working on a new Oasis album and where his brother Noel, 40, is thought to have stayed, to get hitched on Thursday.

The couple posted several different dates and venues on their wedding plans to confuse the paparazzi.

Nicole, 33, spoke earlier this year about how she longed to marry her long-term boyfriend, saying: "Marriage is important to me"
