Coldplay’s Guy Berryman shares first pic of his Scottish wedding with Fife Free Press
Coldplay bass player Guy Berryman has returned to Scotland to get married - and he has shared the first glimpse of his wedding pictures with his home town newspaper.
The Kirkcady born musician tied the knot with Swedish singer / songwriter Johanna Winona Ekmark - professionally known as Winona Oak - with a ceremony at the five-star, Michelin rated Fife Arms in Braemar.
The couple were married on October 27, and shared their wedding picture with the Fife Free Press.
A spokesperson said: “Scotland has always remained a huge part of who he is so when it came to marrying his love, there was somewhere he wanted to be above anywhere else and that was home in Scotland.
“For Guy it was about sharing one of the most important moments of his life in the country he loves and beginning their married life somewhere that holds such deep personal meaning.”
Berryman, 48, grew up in the Lang Toun, and has recalled exploring Raith Estate as a youngster.
It isn’t the first time Coldplay have turned to the local newspapers of band members for big announcements.
In 2019, the band placed a public notices advert in the Fife Free Press as part of a unique marketing campaign for double album Everyday Life. Others chosen included the Daily Post in Wales where guitarist Jonny Buckland once worked, and the Express and Echo in Exeter – singer Chris Martin’s home town.
The adverts followed cryptic teasers on posters around the world. Everyday Life was split into two sections, Sunrise and Sunset, and was the follow-up to their 2015 release, A Head Full Of Dreams.
Coldplay have sold over 170million albums worldwide.
