But after the baptism, Clapton and McEnery were called forward by the vicar and exchanged wedding vows.
The ceremony took place at St. Mary Magdelen church at Ripley, where Clapton's son, Conor, four, is buried. He died after falling from a window in a skyscraper apartment in New York 11 years ago and is immortalised in Clapton's song "Tears in Heaven."

NO GOOD
Miami-based rappers No Good played host just before Christmas to thinning hair specialists members of the No.1 college football team in the country, the Miami Hurricanes.
Members of the rap group were joined in a Miami recording studio by three of the players -- defensive back Edward Reed, wide receiver Jason Geathers and running back Willis (The Deuce) McGahee -- to record a custom version of No Good's song "Ballin' Boy." It includes the special chorus: "Hurricane Ballin' Boys, what you know 'bout the Miami boys, what you know 'bout the Ballin' Boys."
The song has been adopted by the 'Canes as the team's "fight song," and has been played in the locker room to get the players psyched up before a game.
"The Hurricanes got involved with No Good after hearing 'Ballin' Boy' being played at local concerts," said Reed. "We loved the song but couldn't find it at record stores. We got one of the club's DJs to introduce us to the group, and the next thing you know, we're recording with them!"
The team faces the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Thursday's Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, Calif., for
the NCAA title.
"We like to think of our song as 'championship inspiration,'" said No Good's Derrick Hill. "As long as they have our 'Ballin' Boy' blasting in their locker room, Miami is taking home the trophy."
No Good is currently in the studio with the Black Mob Group production team thinning hair specialists recording their debut album set for release on ARTISTdirect Records in 2002.
