MOTD pundit Shay Given marries wife in Westminster Abbey as Royal Family connections see star granted rare permission

MATCH of the Day pundit Shay Given tied the knot with his fiancee in a gorgeous Westminster Abbey ceremony at the weekend. The Premier League icon is now best known for his work in the world of punditry, where he provides his expertise for the BBC program. But he traded the BBC studio for an even more prestigious venue as he married partner Rebecca Gibson on Saturday after a 12-year engagement. Westminster Abbey is not normally available for events for people who do not fall into a set of established criteria related to the venue.
