Mark Cavendish, multiple Tour de France stage winner and 2011 world champion and his girlfriend Peta Todd, a patron of Help for Heroes and former glamour model got married on Saturday October 5.

The couple tied the knot at One Mayfair, an events venue in central London and asked that instead of presents, friends and fans make donations to Help for Heroes and Right to Play.

The couple first met in 2010 in Los Angeles and Cavendish popped the question two years later. They have a daughter, Delilah Grace Cavendish and Todd has a son, Finnbar, from a previous relationship.

Peta Todd gave up her work as a Page Three girl when she became pregnant in 2011. When she and Cavendish announced their engagement she said she was dreading the first dance at the reception as Cav is a bit useful on the dancefloor.

She said: "I am the most uncoordinated person you’ll ever meet — all long legs and clumsy feet — and Mark did ballroom dancing at national level as a teenager." News reports on the wedding have not yet revealed how the first dance went.
