Following speculation last week, British rocker Rod Stewart did marry model Penny Lancaster in a private ceremony Saturday on the Italian Riviera. A very private ceremony with just a a few friends and family in a stunning 17th-century villa in Santa Margherita Ligure, just outside the Portofino resort on Italy's northwestern coast.

"It was just a family thing," one of Stewart's bodyguards told Reuters.

Model Lancaster was dressed in a short, white satin dress and white high-heeled shoes. She arrived at the ceremony some 20 minutes before the groom, who donned blue pin-striped trousers and a white jacket.

From there they strolled on to the harbour where they posed for photographs in a small boat before sailing to Stewart's luxury yacht The Lady Ann Mage".

The 50-metre yacht is listed on the internet for rent at 170,000 euros a week.

It was the third wedding for the 62-year-old rocker, best known for hits like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"
