FORMER Birchwood High pupil James Chester has tied the knot in Gary Barlow's former mansion. 

The house, which has now been converted into wedding venue Delamere Manor, played host to James and new wife Rea on Sunday. 

The couple had a difficult time finding a suitable date taking into account Wales potential qualification for the World Cup this summer and the end of the Championship season. 

Their big day followed the Aston Villa player losing the Championship play-off final to Fulham on Saturday. 

But fortunately the former Winwick Athletic player has been allowed some time off after his big day after the Welsh defender ruled himself out of last night's Wales friendly game against Mexico. 

After saying 'I do', James posted a picture of his beautiful bride on Instagram with the caption 'Mrs Chester'.
