Ooo there's nothing like a footballer and his WAG when it comes to chav-tastic weddings!

Of course they're not all off the tacky-tastic scale - some are pretty classy affairs.

We've put together a photo special of our top ten WAG weddings - with millions of pounds being spent between them.

But which WAG's wedding was the tackiest? Let us know what you reckon below.

1. Wayne and Coleen Rooney, pictured above in her wedding dress, top the WAG wedding blow-outs with a do that had a £5m price-tag to see Man (and wife) United.

Highlights of the 2008 bash included a performance by Westlife and five private planes hired to jet their closest pals from the UK to Italy for the festivities.

2. Posh and Becks' wedding cost only a tenth of the cost of Wayne and Coleen's at a paltry £500,000.

But then it was 1999...and they had just 437 staff on hand at Ireland's Luttrellstown Castle when they tied the knot, before posing on padded thrones for wedding photos.

3. Ashley and Cheryl Cole's £500,000 shindig in 2006 showed Cheryl was ready for the bright lights of Hollywood long before her days on the X Factor.

The couple, pictured above in a Lotto advert (inset) and Ashley in his wedding suit, chose to wed at the Hertfordshire mansion where Gosford Park was filmed.

4. Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran, pictured above on their honeymoon in the Caribbean, splashed out £750,000 in 2007 to tie the knot at the superposh Cliveden House in Berkshire.

Liverpool's Gerrard forked out £60,000 for his bird's diamond-encrusted wedding gown.

5. It was like being in Neville-land for Gary Neville and Emma Hadfield £1 million nuptials.

The day started with guests drinking vintage Cristal champagne at £205 a pop. It ended with a 15-minute flypast for the lovely Emma.

John Terry and Toni Poole had a £1m wedding

6. £1 million bought this John Terry and Toni Poole, pictured above at Joe Cole's wedding yesterday, a swanky bash at the Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire in 2007.

But it apparently didn't buy taste as they opted for pink Cadillac seats and purple carpets under the marquee for the reception.

Michael Carrick and Lisa Roughead smooch on their wedding day

7. Michael Carrick and Lisa Roughead forked out £250,000 for their bash at the exclusive Stapleford Park Hotel in Leicestershire in 2007,

But United's Carrick was still kept warming the bench for 45 minutes as he waited for the bride - in Christian Lacroix gown with a white veil and a 10ft chiffon train - to arrive.

Michael Chopra and Heather Swan's wedding lasted under a month

8. Michael Chopra and Heather Swan picked Friday the 13th, 2008, for their £250,000 wedding and lived to regret it.

Model Heather kicked striker Michael - who is on loan from Sunderland to Cardiff, out of their home less than a month after they were hitched.

10. Spanish Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and missus Ollala Dominguez kept it mucho-inexpensive when he married sweetheart Ollala in a town hall.

The couple, pictured above during the 2006 World Cup, had just two guests at the nuptials just north of Madrid, where they grew up, earlier this year.

Definitely Fernando Torres' wedding i think that he is great and they did not make it big and public.It was about them and their love not pictures and money.

yes most of them are'nt to my taste. but if money is no object, then why not have thrones or flypasts. its their day, let them have it. jealousy is not an attractive trait people!

Why Posh and Becks' was a trash? Their wedding - the ceremony, the celebrations - was as classy as Gery Neville..and guess why..coz Posh herself planned the Nevilles' nuptial! Just because they had the "thrones" so their nuptial was a trash. What a ridiculous! If anything, the Rooneys' wedding with MILLIONS spending for a lot of rubbish, and for more than one place to celebrate is a load of trash.

As for Torres..sorry..I find it hard to appreciate a wedding where there's NO FAMILY members involved at all, not to mention no friends to appreciate the day. There's nothing about money here. It's almost like you actually don't care at all about your relationship that much..just get married as soon as possible and be done with it coz your girlfriend already popped out with your first child and she will run away if there's no commitment from you!

I think nowdays footballers have big weddings just to get the huge bucks from top mags like hello. Howwever, that said if they can afford it, that's up to them.

I personally think a small affair with close family and friends means and lot more, and is so much more intimate.

Does it really matter if you get married in a big castle or just the town hall, no - it's called loving each other and just wanting to be together.

ANYONE who has 'thrones' at their wedding is a CRANK, and marrying for the WRONG reasons.
