Castle in Cheshire on Saturday.

Featured exclusively in the latest issue of HELLO! magazine,
Fabrice, 24, and Shauna married in a star studded ceremony which had
footballers including Robin Van Persie, Andy Cole, Jason Roberts and his ex
Bolton teammates Stuart Holden and Martin Petrov.
Also invited were the medical staff who helped save
his life, including cardiologist Dr Andrew Deaner and Dr Sam Mohiddin from the
London Chest Hospital.
Muamba, 24, told Hello! magazine: 'This year has been a
difficult one but, to me, marriage is a happy ending.'
Man Utd
striker Van Persie, who attended with his wife Bouchra, told HELLO!: "Today is particularly special because of what
happened to Fabrice. The cardiac arrest had a big impact on everyone in
football, and we all lived the moment as Fab recovered in hospital.
"Everyone is so relieved and happy for him
and Shauna, and Bouchra and I are grateful to be part of this day."
Best wishes to the couple,
