Coleen McLoughlin to give her Marchesa wedding dress a home

After the big day is done and dusted, most brides face the dilemma of what to do with their wedding dresses. But not Coleen McLoughlin... The new wife of football star Wayne Rooney is one step ahead of the game, with plans to house her £100,000 Marchesa gown in a specially-built cabinet... obviously.

According to reports, McLoughlin's stunning dress will take pride of place, amongst Rooney's football trophies and other memorabilia, at the couple's Prestbury mansion in Cheshire.

"Coleen fell in love with her dress and wanted to preserve it properly," a source told The Sun. "Marchesa will be helping her with it - it's not the kind of dress you can just drop off at the dry cleaners."

I'm guessing that the dry cleaning bill alone would cost the couple close to the 2.5m they were paid by OK! for photos of the event.

"The dress symbolises everything she wanted from the wedding and she felt it would be best to have it around as a permanent memory instead of sticking it away in the loft," they added.

Here's an idea, why not auction it off to charity?
