This couple took the meaning of a white wedding to a whole new level and tied the knot in ardous weather conditions after refusing to bow down to the Beast from the East.
Jemma Swainston-Rainford and Steven Lucock planned their fairytale wedding for Wednesday, February 28th at the Alnwick Treehouse in Northumberland – but one thing they did not account for is a barrage of snow and sub-zero temperatures.
Despite some guests who were coming up from the south having to abandon their journeys, the wedding went ahead and was one of the only ceremonies to take place in the area that day, according to the registrar.
Their happy day may not have gone as smoothly as they liked, with one farmer who gave the father of the groom a lift had his wheel fall off on route and had to get the local Alnwick farming community to give them a helping hand. The local radio even started rooting for the happy couple!
Wedding photographer Sean Elliott, based at the Biscuit Factory in Newcastle, managed to take incredible photographs from the wedding ceremony of the two magicians and entertainers, proving that Storm Emma and the Beast From The East are no match for true love.
