German World Cup Captain Lahm Gets Married

German World Cup captain Philipp Lahm married his girlfriend in a traditional Bavarian wedding on Wednesday 14.

Lahm, 26, and Claudia Schattenberg, 25, tied the knot in a civil ceremony and in a church ceremony two days after he returned from Germany's third-place finish at the World Cup in South Africa.

The wedding took place in the small Bavarian town of Aying, some 25 kilometres south of Munich where Lahm plays at Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. Around 100 family and friends were present, with Munich's Andreas Ottl the only invited footballer.

Aying mayor Johann Eigler conducted the civil ceremony without a reference to football.

"Some tears did flow," he said "I wished them all the best."
