Wikipedia founder marries Tony Blair's former diary secretary in star-studded ceremony


Wesley's Church in London was glittering with stars where Wikipedia 
founder Jimmy Wales, 46, planned marriage to Tony Blair's former diary secretary Kate Garvey, 40, on Saturday at a private ceremony. Among VVIps, attending the marriage were, Former Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie attended the ceremony, as did Alastair Campbell, Mr Blair's former spin doctor.

Mr. Wales’s Wikipedia page was updated accordingly, where under
'personal life' it read the couple met in Davos, Switzerland, and it is Mr Wales' third marriage. Cherie wore a fitted knee-length dress, silver necklace and bracelet and black kitten heel shoes.

Other guests included David Miliband and his wife Louise - David was carrying a present wrapped in pink tissue paper. Steve Hilton, David Cameron's former director of strategy, and his wife Rachel Whetsone, who is an executive of Google were among the invitees.

The wedding is the third for the internet entrepreneur from Alabama
and the first for the bride, who is now a director of Freud Communications. Mr Wales has one child with Kate, who he met at the World Economic Forum at Davos, and one with his ex-wife Christine Rohan, who he met through a friend when she was working as a steel trader for Mitsubishi.

Mr Wales set up the free, open content, online encyclopedia in 2001. As Wikipedia's public profile grew, he became the project's promoter and spokesman. He has been named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
