Claire Francis and Paul Hartery A black tie and diamond-themed ball took place following the marriage in the Bear Hotel, Cowbridge, on December 29th, of Paul Hartery, youngest son of Alan and Chris Hartery, of Barry, to Claire Francis, youngest of five daughters of Michael and Rosemary Francis, of Pembroke.
Given away by her father, the bride wore an ivory lace and organza designer gown, embellished with pearl and crystal appliqué with a diamond and crystal tiara and matching jewellery.
The groom was supported by his two groomsmen, his elder brother Mark and his ten-year-old son Ben.
The ushers were Richard Williams, (bride's brother-in-law), and Jamie Jenkins, (groom's friend).
The couple, both employed in management roles within Coors Brewers, will enjoy a honeymoon in Egypt before returning to their home in the Vale of Glamorgan.
