She might have said that she ‘Can’t Speak French’ back in her Girls Aloud days, but Cheryl Cole clearly had no problems "letting the funky music do the talking" as she’s married her new French beau after a whirlwind three month romance.

It sounds like Cheryl and Jean-Bernard's second wedding was a lot more subdued than her first - rather than calling up every magazine in town and shouting the news from the rooftops, their ceremony was attended by just four guests.
