Samia Ghadie of Coronation Street Weds in England

A New Year's Day 2005 proposal on bended knee at the Vatican in Rome led to a September 10, 2005 wedding for "Coronation Street" cast member Samia Ghadie and property developer Matthew Smith.

Due to an agreement with a British entertainment magazine, the bride's gown was obstructed from the public's view by trash bin liners, which veiled the windows of the silver Rolls Royce that bore Samia to St. Philip's Church. This 19th century house of worship is located in the village of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, England.

Here the groom presented his bride with a wedding band to accompany her £15,000 engagement ring.
