Madonna pops to Welsh wedding in Rome
09 August 2006

Madonna has gatecrashed a wedding at a hotel in Rome.

The Material Girl singer was at the Hotel De Russie in central Rome for a candle lit dinner with her husband director Guy Ritchie.

However, the hotel was also being used for a wedding party and when the singer discovered the party was British she joined them.

Welsh couple Neil and Imogen McCarthy had decided to tie the knot in Italy and had flown out 70 friends and family to take part.

Luca Iacovello, who helped to put on the wedding, described the scene: 'When Madonna walked into the reception with her husband everybody recognised them.

'The DJ put on one of her records, Hung Up, which she wasn't happy about but all the party at the wedding behaved with typical British reserve.

'If it had been an Italian wedding and Madonna walked in there would have been mass hysteria, but no-one raised an eyelid although everyone knew she was there.'
