PITCH-PERFECT WEDDING DAY

Former Premier League footballer Jorginho and singer Catherine Harding invite us to their breathtaking nuptials by Italy's Lake Como

- 

Emotions were running high when former Premier League footballer Jorginho and singer Catherine Harding said "I do" at the breathtaking Villa Erba on the banks of Italy's Lake Como.

Surrounded by their family and friends, including football stars Riccardo Calafiori of Arsenal and former Chelsea player Ryan Bertrand, the happy couple celebrated their nuptials on 2 June at the magnificent 19th-century mansion on the picturesque lake's western shore.

And HELLO! was exclusively invited to witness the romantic union, which was held inside owing to unexpected rain - a sign considered good luck for newlyweds.

Carrying a bouquet of ivory peonies and wearing an exquisite Italian ivory lace bridal gown by the luxury fashion house Berta, Cat glided down the vast staircase of the historic villa arm in arm with her father, Brian.

Locking eyes with her fiancé of two years, Cat smiled as she walked towards him, while the string quartet Qart played Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love.

"It felt surreal," recounts 34-year-old Cat, who competed in The Voice UK in 2015. "I was in my own little bubble and didn't look away from him the entire way.

When I saw his eyes and he was crying, it was so special." Brazilian-born midfielder Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, known to his fans and fellow players as Jorginho, has just signed for Brazilian team Flamengo following a twoyear stint at Arsenal.
