Noel says I do, Liam says I'm busy

OASIS frontman Noel Gallagher has married his long-term partner in a lavish hotel ceremony - but brother Liam wasn't there.

Noel and Sara MacDonald - who have kids Donovan, three, and Sonny, eight months - were shielded by tight security as they wed in front of family and pals.


Noel, 44, had hoped Liam would be at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest, Hants, even though they haven't spoken since a bust-up before a Paris gig in 2009.


However, Liam is touring in the US with new band Beady Eye and was due to play in Chicago last night.


Asked if he would be at the wedding Liam, 38, said recently: "No, I'm busy playing gigs."


Noel and Sara, 40, who met at an Ibiza nightclub 11 years ago, booked the entire 29-room hotel for the weekend for £60,000. Guards kept fans and photographers at a distance.


Noel was the guitarist, vocalist and lead songwriter for Oasis, who split in 2009 after selling a staggering 50 million records.


He was married to interior designer Meg Mathews, 45, from 1997 to 2001 and they have an 11-year-old daughter, Anais together.
