WITH an extended season due to the World Cup and the recent international break just finished, footie stars across the globe don't have as much holiday time as they might normally expect.

But that hasn't stopped ex-Celtic star Kristoffer Ajer from jetting-off to Italy to get married, with several former Hoops heroes spotted in attendance for the big day.

Ajer, 25, brought his five-year stay at Celtic Park to an end two years ago when he moved to Brentford in a big money £13.5million switch to the Premier League.

But the big defender's still got some close pals from his trophy-laden time at Parkhead.

Norway defender Ajer got engaged to model missus Marte at the start of 2022.

Celtic ace Greg Taylor and his fiancee Laura jetted-off to London at the time to celebrate the big news with their friends.

And Greg and Laura, who are gearing-up for their own wedding, headed out to Italy to help their pals celebrate their big day.

Ajer and Marte got hitched in stunning Tivoli on the outskirts of Rome and it looked like quite the day.

And Hoops defender Taylor wasn't the only footie pal spotted at the occasion.

Stuart Armstrong, a former Celtic teammate of Ajer's, was also there.

Just a week ago, Armstrong and Ajer were on opposing sides as Scotland beat Norway in a dramatic Euro 2024 qualifier in Oslo.

Soon-to-be Mrs Taylor, Laura, posted a series of pictures from the celebration to her Instagram.

She posted: "Lost for words on how breathtaking celebrating our best friends' wedding was in Rome. We love you both so much."

She also gave her followers a behind the scenes look at the incredible Italian bash, where Ajer can be seen looking dapper in a tuxedo and bow tie with Marte stunning in a floral-patterned dress.

The centre-back can be seen kissing his new wife before punching the air in celebration as the guests cheer on.

The happy couple and guests can also be seen performing the old wedding tradition of twirling napkins.

There was certainly no expense spared as Mr and Mrs Ajer cut their wedding cake.

As they cut into the splendid four-tier cake, fireworks and pyrotechnics go off behind them in spectacular fashion.
