Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has married his partner Sara MacDonald.
Walking away from Oasis, Noel Gallagher has kept his cards close to his chest. Two shows at the Royal Albert Hall aside, the guitarist has not performed publicly since that fateful day in France.
Rumoured to be working on new material in Los Angeles, Noel Gallagher also appeared (albeit briefly) on the new Miles Kane album. Vowing to spend more time with his family, it seems that the songwriter has made good on this promise.
Engaged to long term partner Sara MacDonald, the happy couple tied the knot at the weekend (via The Guardian). The pair met in Ibiza eleven years ago, and have been together ever since – raising two sons together.
The pair married at a lavish do in New Forest National Park’s Lime Wood Hotel. Noel Gallagher hired out the hotel, which reportedly cost him somewhere in the region of £60,000, while guests included Paul Weller and Hacienda DJ turned M People producer Mike Pickering.
There was no shortage of entertainment at the bash, which featured a speech from Noel Gallagher’s close friend Russell Brand. The one time Oasis guitarist wore a grey suit and black tie, while Sara MacDonald opted for a vintage dress before changing into Tom Ford sequins.
The relationship stood at the centre of the row between Noel and Liam Gallagher. Explaining his decision to leave Oasis, the guitarist cited the intolerable ‘intimidation’ against himself and his family.
Liam Gallagher was not present at the ceremony, as Beady Eye are currently on tour in the United States. Recently speaking to The Sunday Times, the frontman reflected on his decision to exclude Noel Gallagher from his own wedding.
“He goes on about how he wasn’t invited to my wedding,” he said. “No one was at my wedding but (the bride’s) mum and my mum. Get over it, mate.”
