Muamba and his new bride are pictured in the new edition of Hello! magazine
accompanied by Manchester United striker Van Persie and his wife Bouchra.
The couple married a week ago - just seven months after Muamba collapsed on
the pitch when his heart stopped as Bolton played Tottenham Hotspur, leaving
him technically dead for 78 minutes.
He amazed medics by pulling through, although his playing days are now behind
him.
Muamba, 24, told the magazine: ''This year has been a difficult one but, to
me, marriage is the happy ending.''
Among the guests was one of the men who saved his life, Dr Sam Mohiddin from the
London Chest Hospital. He said: ''Seven months ago this day was completely
inconceivable. I just feel elated for Fabrice and Shauna, and so honoured to
be here to celebrate with them.''
The happy couple's three-year-old son Joshua was pageboy for the ceremony.
Van Persie said the day was ''particularly special'' because of the
life-threatening incident.
''The cardiac arrest had a big impact on everyone in football, and we all
lived the moment as Fab recovered in hospital. Everyone is so relieved and
happy for him and Shauna.''
Other players who shared their joy were ex-United star Andy Cole and Muamba's
Bolton team-mates Stuart Holden and Martin Petrov.
Congrats Muamba!
