MARK Ayles and Kayleigh Hargreaves married at St George’s Church in Fordington, Dorchester, surrounded by family and friends.

The couple, who both work for Dorset County Council, have been together for nine years and had their wedding ceremony on August 16 with a purple and butterfly theme.

They held their reception at the King’s Arms Hotel and had wedding photos taken at Moreton Gardens, before honeymooning in Gran Canaria.

The pair thanked all at the King’s Arms for their excellent service, Chris Whitefield for their wedding photos, Moreton Gardens for the use of their grounds and Julie for their wedding cake.
