Inside Kate and Rio Ferdinand's festive dinner party ahead of first Xmas as married couple

Kate and Rio Ferdinand have been preparing for their first Christmas as a married couple.

They kicked off the festive season in the best way with a very extravagant Christmas dinner party for their loved ones after they tied the knot in September.

The power couple have shown they are clearly enjoying their new life as a married couple after documenting their luxury dinner with the world on social media.

It's certain Kate, 28, had a great night as she joked they "drank way TOO much" on Instagram with her one million eager followers.

The Ferdys Dinner Party boasted a gorgeous cream, white and pink theme.

The main dining table was decorated with a blooming lovely floral display mainly made up of orchids, accompanied by huge mirrored vases for an added touch of glam.

They even presented their guests with printed four course menus titled "The Ferdys Dinner Party".

There were name cards for each of their guests written out on shimmering silver paper.

Stunned Kate was blown away by the creation as she announced it was her "dinner table of dreams" which she added "the best evening".

The stunning couple married in a breathtaking ceremony at the D Maris Bay hotel in Marmaris, Turkey.

Rio, 41, was reduced to tears as he watched Kate walk down the aisle at their star-studded wedding.

In the first interview about the wedding, the dad-of-three admitted he got "so emotional" when he saw his daughter Tia, eight, walk down the aisle before seeing his stunning new bride, 27.

He told  OK! magazine : "I cried as soon as the day started. Seeing Tia walk up the aisle before Kate set me off. It was just so emotional.

"There was just no going back on the emotion, that's why I had to keep my shades on!

"Seeing Tate and Lorenz walk Kate down the aisle was particularly poignant and we wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way.

"They were so proud and they couldn't wait to do that, they felt important."

The former Towie star and former footballer have said "I do" after getting engaged in November, last year.

They also enjoyed some good food at the bash (Instagram)

The nuptials were shrouded in secrecy, with guests asked to hand over their phones before the three-day celebrations got underway.

Kate and Rio began dating after the tragic death of his wife, Rebecca Ellison, the mother of his three children Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia.

Their love story goes back to when the lovebirds first started dating in late 2016.

They had been together for two flourishing years before he popped the question.
