Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster are sailing around Europe with their two sons Alastair and Aiden, and they had something very special to celebrate over the weekend. The celebrity couple returned to Portofino in Italy, where 12 years ago they had said their vows on their wedding day. Penny shared a gorgeous photo on Instagram of the pair exploring the town, and wrote in the caption: "Remembering 12 years ago when we tied the knot and said forever in St Margarita/Portfino Italy." While the couple actually got married on 16 June, this was the first time that they had been able to get over to the beautiful village. Many of their fans were still quick to wish them a belated happy anniversary, while others commented on what a lovely photo it was of the two of them.
Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster reflected on their wedding day
Rod and Penny got married in 2007 in a medieval abbey in Portofino, surrounded by 100 guests. Penny reflected on her wedding day in HELLO!, revealing that Rod had told her that he wanted her to have her dream wedding. She said: "He said: 'I'll take care of the band and the booze, but the rest is up to you.' I love organising every little detail, from the linen on the table to the flowers." What's more, the couple then renewed their vows on their tenth wedding anniversary, which was held at their home in Essex – this time in the presence of their sons.
