Sharon wore a form-fitting bridal gown with a lace corset, and she looked stunning. Ashley looked sharp in a blue dinner suit as she accessorized with a long, mesh-embroidered veil and a cream wedding bouquet.

Under a massive arch of flowers, the couple exchanged vows on top of a cliff overlooking the sea at the Hotel La Vecchia Posta in Ladispo.

Ashley, an Arsenal and Chelsea great, and Sharon, 30, exchanged vows as a cloud of vibrant smoke rose in the background.

The bride and groom were then seen holding hands as guests scattered confetti to the accompaniment of an orchestra singing Viva La Vida by Cold Play.

The couple’s first dance was to Never Enough from The Greatest Showman, as shown in a second footage from the lavish party that took place on Saturday.

At their outdoor dinner celebration, which included a spectacular fireworks display, Ashley and Sharon also danced through long tables before continuing their party late into the night.

John Terry, Ashley’s closest friend, provided another high point afterward.

The former Chelsea player climbed onto the stage to sing a croaky cover of John Legend’s classic All Of Me to the happy couple.
