Karl and Lizzy, the new Mr and Mrs Porter, of Centauri Close, were married in the Grove House Register Office as music festival Party in the Park was taking place nearby.

When leaving the gardens and, after an acknowledgement from the Belle Tones who were playing on stage at the time, the crowd started to applaud the newlyweds.

Lizzy said: “It was a really good day, to come out to the crowd cheering was a bit surreal but a lovely gesture and it made it more memorable.

“We went to Whipsnade after and then had a lovely meal.”

The couple who have been together three years and have a two-year-old daughter, who was their flower girl for their special day, will not be going on a honeymoon, instead they plan to go to Yarmouth later in the year.
