The 62-year-old rocker married his long-time girlfriend the 36-year-old model Penny Lancaster on Saturday in a small town just outside the Italian Riviera resort of Portofino.
The ceremony was held in a 17th century villa Durazzo and the town hall official Mariagrazia Benazzi revealed that on the wedding there were only the bride, the groom and two witnesses.
Rod is said to have given his bride a “huge white diamond ring”.
After half an hour when the ceremony ended, the rocker and his new wife went out into the villa’s landscaped gardens to pose for privately hired photographers.
The newlyweds and the two witnesses were then whisked away by private minivans to a motorboat docked in the port of Santa Margherita, which took them back to their yacht decorated with red balloons.
The couple had post-wedding party which included drinks and dinner at the monastery La Cervara.
This is Stewart’s third marriage. He divorced model Rachel Hunter in January. Rod and Lancaster have one child- Alastair born on November 28, 2005. The singer has another five kids from his previous relationships.
Some of the kids, including daughter Kimberley, joined the couple earlier in the week vacationing along the Mediterranean coasts of Italy and France. They were spotted off the coast Villefranche on the French Riviera on Wednesday before their yacht docked off the coast of Portofino.
Day before the wedding the couple were spotted having dinner on the yacht and then walking hand-in-hand through a market in nearby Rapallo, where Lancaster bought costume jewelry.
The couple also celebrated Stewart’s daughter Ruby 20s birthday. “Happy Birthday” streamers were spotted hanging up on the decks of the yacht Lady Ann Magee.
