A COUPLE had their perfect day in Weymouth.

Michael John Russell, 28, married Leah Jane Wigley, 25, on Friday, May 20 at All Saints Church in Wyke Regis.

Michael is a civil servant at Bovington Camp. He has been out to Afghanistan four times working on the vehicles out there. Leah is a hairdresser and a care assistant.

The couple were intro-duced by friends and have been together for four years.

The theme for the wedding was burgundy and white and they had their reception at the Springhead at Sutton Poyntz.

Mother of the groom Jane Russell said: “It was a wonderful day, a very very happy day. The weather was very calm and at the end of the evening they set off Chinese lanterns.

“Everyone had a wond-erful time and it was very happy.”

The bride and groom then went on honeymoon to Los Angeles and went on a trip to Las Vegas.
