By Royal appointment! It's a Reading reunion as striker Long ties the knot

You wait ages for one footballer's wedding... and then three come along at once!
As Theo Walcott and Darren Bent tied the knot with their respective brides on Saturday, West Bromich Albion striker Shane Long married his partner Kayleah Adams.
And it proved to be something of a Royal reunion as Long was joined by several of his former Reading team-mates and his old boss Brian McDermott, who is now in charge of Leeds.

But there was a close shave for one of the guests as Stephen Hunt's girlfriend almost took a tumble when she stepped off the bus.
Kevin Doyle, who now plys his trade with Wolves in League One and Ireland team-mate Paul McShane, who will return to the Premier League with Hull next season, were also in attendance in Enniskerry in Ireland.
Long, who scored against England in May at Wembley, had to put contract talks on hold to organise his nuptials.

'I fully intend to stay but we will talk, probably in pre-season, about contract situations and see what happens,' he said.
‘I’m very happy. [Steve Clarke] has come in and has really built a team that’s very competitive in the Premier League.
‘There are a few lads up in the air about contracts and it will be interesting to see what happens over the summer.

‘I have a year and an option, so probably two [still to run on my current deal]. I have still got two years left at West Brom and that’s what I am focusing on at the moment.’
