Chloe Kelly looks sensational in bold wedding gown as England Lionesses hero ties the knot with long-term boyfriend
CHLOE KELLY now has a rival day for the ‘best day of her life’ after she tied the knot with long-term partner Scott Moore.
The Manchester City and England star will surely have thought the day she sealed European Championship success for the Lionesses was her peak moment until her stunning wedding last month.
Kelly, 26, married Moore in a spectacular ceremony after the pair got engaged in December during a trip to Finnish Lapland.
Kelly stunned in bold wedding gown at the wedding that saw a whole host of familiar faces attend, including fellow football stars Steph Houghton and Ruby Mace as bridesmaids.
The pair married at Merrydale Manor in Cheshire with celebrations going on until 2am at the venue.
Before the happy couple invited their nearest and dearest back to their house for an extension of the celebrations until 4:30am.
Kelly and Moore had been dating for over five years before their wedding, but Kelly revealed to Vogue that their romance almost slipped away before it even started.
She said: “Scott was working as a groundsman at Everton while I was playing there.
“One day I held the door for him, and ever since that day he kept saying he was going to message me.
“When he did slide into my DMs, I didn’t see it for ages, because it was in my requests folder, and then when I did see it I was like, ‘Who is this?’
“But when I saw a few people that I knew had followed him, I realised, I must know him!”
Kelly‘s triplet brothers, Ryan, Jamie, and Martin, were three of Scott’s groomsmen, and her sister Paris was her maid of honour.
The ceremony took place at 2pm and was followed by drinks and food for the guests, with the happy couple whisked away in a Rolls Royce.
During the reception there was a cocktail hour, the cutting of a four-tier cake, live music, DJ sets, and a magician on hand to keep the guests entertained.
Kelly and Moore also took to the dance-floor for their first dance – sharing the moment to the song “Never Change” by Picture This.
Despite making a career out of staying ice cool in the biggest moments, Kelly admitted she was nervous before setting off down the aisle – something she never experiences with her football.
She told Vogue: “I’d never been nervous like that.
“I don’t really get nervous for games, we train to prepare for those moments, it’s just natural.
Whereas the wedding day is just something I haven’t done before! I actually felt sick.”
Kelly’s celebrations were perfectly timed with no international tournament for the Lionesses this summer, giving her plenty of time to enjoy the moment.
But it’ll be back to the grind now with the WSL season fast approaching.
Kelly’s Man City side begin their new league season with a trip to capital against Arsenal on September 22.
But preparations will begin much in advance to that game with City’s first pre-season clash in Australia against Leicester City on August 28.
Throughout her career Kelly has played for Arsenal, Everton and Man City at club level.
While she has also made 45 appearances for the Lionesses, famously netting the winning goal in England’s Euro 2022 triumph over Germany.
