In a little building above a white beach at Kikambala, 40 minutes or so by road north of Mombasa, Kenya. The locals wove arches of palm leaves threaded with frangipani flowers and when we walked along the beach towards the reef after we'd taken our vows for photos, natives in full warrier dress with spears came up and congratulated us. Its our 11th anniversary on 26 October. Angela

On the beach in Antigua and would do it all over again tomorrow.... Theresa

Anne & Julie - SNAP! Don't think I'll bother getting married. love becx

Snap with Joan! Stood on my dress too. Got married in Church. Always remember a scary moment standing at the door with my Dad. The vicar came out and said 'Do you know what you are going in to?'. Thoughts rushed through my mind 'Is he asking a deep psychological question, sh*t what do I say!'. All the time he was just asking what music we were walking in to!! Anna

In a drab little registry office in April and it rained and rained all day. 1/2 lager and stale butties in a pub. 7yrs later I divorced him because it rained all through the marriage lol. Second time again in a registry office but this time brilliant sunshine all day, big party in garden. 12 yrs later still with the man. Kay x.

We had a Celtic Wedding ceremony at Hardraw Waterfall, which acted as a betrothal. A year later we had our legal wedding in the Spiritualist Church and baptised our son at the same time. Dianne xx

We married in the parish church in the grounds of Portchester Castle. It is a lovely setting, - Roman walls enclosing the Norman keep and Norman church, just yards from the sea.

catholic church in 1957, registrar came to the church as Catholic churches werent recognised by the state then, we were state married again in the vestry where we then signed the register. Backto our family home then for a sit down meal put on by my Mum. in front room , was hot day & charlton athletic were playing a home game, so when the crowds spilled out after the game passing our house,( the ground was just down the road) then we got lots of catcalls & guys coming to the open windows wanting to kiss the bride & drink our health. Was a fabulous family day followed by a knees up til late with music put on by my Uncle playing the joanna!! & records on the new record player. Shirley

I got married in Church, in 1981. I found the whole thing absolutely nerve-racking, and I remember thinking afterwards that I would NEVER get divorced, because I could never go through all that again!

In the Registry Office. It was arranged within a month and done on the cheap but the party afterwards was brilliant as me hubby and his friends and family were all in bands at the time. They all did a few songs and people were wandering into the club to see what was going on......so we had a few gatecrashers too..lol

A huge church wedding in the old parish church in Weybridge. We knew so many people in the town that when we went from the church to the reception in the most luxurious viintage roller the whole of the main shopping street was lined with our friends clapping and waving. I felt like royalty!!!! Bev x

In a church many moons ago lol!! After we knelt & said our vows, I went to get up & couldn't cos he was standing on my dress!!!! Should have realised then that he would always try to keep me in my place!! lol :0S Joan xxx

Brighton Pavillion. Beautiful day!

Bristol registry office as my husband's parents were divorced. He had lost contact with his dad, still not traced and was not speaking to his mum. We are still happily married twenty-seven years later and have five children. Many of my friends had big church weddings but the marriages did not last.. We did not have a honeymoon as we had already used up our holiday and I remember going home from my wedding changing and then going out to buy cat food as I had forgotten to lay in supplies. For our silver wedding anniversary we rented a villa in Paxos to make up.

first time was in Reg office. nearly didnt go through with it though. but did because id be nagged by my nan. it was arranged in 4 weeks (and you could tell) only invited my nan grandad and 2 friends (bridesmaid and best man) neither could stand new hubbie. daughter was about 2 at the time, looked so pretty. my dress was awful and didnt fit,photographer was a letch, cake was vile and i had huge row in the restautrant after with hubbie as he went to play with fruit machines. second time august 2004 beautiful methodist church wedding, big frock, cadillacs x2, my best friend, her daughter and mine as bridesmaids, son was paige boy. lovely reception in converted barn. made even more special as my dad came, i had only found him in the april through this site. few raised eyebrows but i couldnt stop smiling. best thing i ever did was meet new hubbie. havent had honey moon yet, but planning to in the next few years.
