Given away by her father, the bride wore an ivory, strapless taffeta and tulle gown with scattered crystals and she carried a bouquet of ivory roses.

The bridesmaids were Lorna, Alice and Jennifer Richards, and Megan, Cerys and Rhian Hicks (bride's cousins) and Kayleigh Gainfort (groom's niece).

The best man was Mark Reynolds (friend) and the ushers were Adrian and Nigel Davies (bride's brothers) and Mark Gainfort (groom's brother).

The ceremony was conducted by Rev Jane Goupillon.

After honeymooning in Sardinia, the couple have made their home in Freystrop.
