The couple set the date for Saturday, July 1, at St Barnabas’ Church in Morecambe followed by a reception at Lancaster House Hotel.

They were joined by all their family and friends for a day which they will remember for ever.

Lucky with the weather, the guests enjoyed sunshine and warmth for most of the day and the couple were able to have their photographs taken under clear skies on Morecambe promenade on the stone jetty.
