England star Harry Maguire will pay for all his wedding guests to stay when he marries at a French chateau this summer.
There will be no expense spared as the Man Utd captain, 28, ties the knot with Fern Hawkins in Burgundy.
Harry, who earns a reputed £190,000 a week, is believed to be heading to Portugal for a four-day golf stag do with his best mates.
Fern is expected to be joined by Megan Davison, wife of England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and Harry’s sister Daisy for her hen night during a break in Marbella.
An exclusive list of guests will stay at the 20-bedroom chateau booked for the wedding day itself.
It is understood Harry is paying for the accommodation as he takes advantage of a summer without a major international tournament.
“They are really looking forward to the biggest day of their lives,” said a source.
Harry and Fern, 27, sent out invitations in pink and white boxes with “a fancy bow” on top.
The bridesmaids’ dresses will be in ivory, rose, pink, and purple and Daisy is the maid of honour.
Fern held a lavish bridal brunch at the Foodwell restaurant in Salford, followed by a get-together at the upmarket Dakota Hotel in Manchester city centre.
Each place at the table was set with a white box of treats with the guest’s name in silver. It was accompanied by a note which read: “My darling best friend, plan with me, stand with me, cry with me, laugh with me.
“Please be my bridesmaid?”
Daisy and Megan shared photos of the note on Instagram.
Fern, who has a first-class degree in science and physiotherapy, first met £80million Harry when he was 18 and part of Sheffield United’s youth team.
Man Utd made him the most expensive defender in the world when they signed him from Leicester City for £80million in 2019.
The couple have been engaged since 2018 and are parents to Lillie Saint, two, and Piper Rose, who was born in May 2020.
