German soccer player Philipp Lahm and his wife Claudia seen together after their marriage in Aying near Munich, southern Germany, on Wednesday, July 14, 2010. BERLIN — Germany captain Philipp Lahm has married his girlfriend in a traditional Bavarian wedding, just days after his team secured third place at the World Cup.
German news agency DAPD reports the 26-year-old Bayern Munich defender and 25-year-old Claudia Schattenberg were married Wednesday in Aying, a small town south of Munich.
Aying mayor Johann Eichler, who conducted the civil ceremony, said "tears were flowing."
A ceremony was planned at a nearby church later in the day.
Lahm was named Germany's captain after an ankle injury ruled Michael Ballack, the team's longtime leader, out of the World Cup.
