 More than 200 guests gathered at a picturesque Berkshire mansion on a Saturday in 2003 for an interracial marriage as French football hero Thierry Henry tied the knot with his interracial dating girlfriend of two years, model Nicole Merry, who famously got the athlete's motor running in a car commercial.
The London-born beauty co-stars with Thierry in a Renault Clio advert, receiving a "va-va-voom" from the Arsenal striker after she dons his team shirt and not much else.
Two years after they first met,
Thierry, 25, and Nicole, 23, made their vows at Highclere Castle , a Victorian estate owned by the Earl of Carnavon.

Thierry Henry has reiterated he will be staying at Arsenal 'for life' and will not leave due to his injury troubles.
Henry signed a new four-year contract last year after Barcelona made a concerted effort to capture the France international.
The 29-year-old French international insists he will not backtrack on that agreement, again pledging his commitment to Arsene Wenger's side.
The Gunners captain has endured a frustrating season on the fitness front and it has prompted talk he could quit Emirates Stadium in the summer.
But the striker, who will not play again until next term due to groin and stomach injuries, is adamant he is going nowhere.
"People in France and some over here are still saying I am going to leave," Henry told The Sun.
"I am not going to leave. Never. I am staying here.
Thierry Henry and Niole Merry now have 2 interracial children together.
