STEWART AND LANCASTER MARRY TODAY

ROD STEWART and PENNY LANCASTER's family and friends have gathered in Italy to celebrate their wedding today (16Jun07). The ceremony, on a yacht off the Italian Riviera resort of Portofino, will be an unstarry affair and celebrity pals like Sir Elton John and Sir Mick Jagger will not attend. Stewart's sister Mary Cady says, "They want a nice quiet wedding - old friends and immediate family only. No ex-wives or girlfriends are going, just the kids." Stewart and Lancaster have been dating for eight years and have an 18-month-old son Alistair together. Meanwhile, ahead of the nuptials, the star's 20-year-old daughter Ruby was caught mocking her father's reputation as a cheapskate at a London airport as she prepared to jet to Italy for the ceremony on a budget airline. She said, "We should all take it in turns to stand up at the end of the wedding and say, 'My dad's really cheap.'
