Alex Turner attends humanist wedding
Friday, 30 October 2009
Alex Turner was among the guests at the star-studded wedding of Jonathan McClure from Reverend and the Makers to his backing singer Laura Manuel.
The Arctic Monkey's frontman and girlfriend Alexa Chung attended the humanist ceremony at a countryside farm, the Spenborough Guardian reports.
A humanist wedding takes God out of the equation, with a ceremony that involves the expressing of beliefs and values without religion.
In a departure from a normal wedding ceremony, the event took place under an oak tree at Low Farm.
Claire Ellis, owner of the farm, said that bride Laura chose the site on a visit to see her friend.
Alex and Alexa are rarely seen in public together, despite having dated for a number of years.
The Arctic Monkeys are playing a number of dates in Europe at the beginning of next month, before heading back to the UK to play a series of big gigs.
Wembley Arena will be hosting the four-piece on November 18th, before they head off to Birmingham's NIA on November 20th and the Manchester Evening News Arena on November 21st.
