FORMER Bridport News editorial assistant Kelly Stone got the wedding of her dreams when she married groom Mark Heath with their son Rafferty as best man.

She was given away by her brother Matthew Stone, with her maid of honour her sister Dionne Stone, who came from Canada, with bridesmaids her niece Lacey Stone and the couple’s daughter Xanthe.

The ushers were her first cousins once removed Oliver and Arthur Rawles. Kelly wore an ivory full off the shoulder gown with diamanté detail and a back fastening lace beaded bolero and a floral and French net hair piece.

She carried a bouquet of wild flowers which featured a locket containing a photograph of her late father Julian Stone.

Dionne Stone wore an ivory dress with ivory lace top and carried a wild flower bouquet. The bridesmaids wore ivory lace and chiffon dresses, their headdresses of blossom and daisies were made by the bride and they carried wild flower posies.

The bride did not break with tradition or her usual style, arriving at the church half-an-hour late.

The ceremony was at Holy Trinity Church Bradpole, which was followed by vintage afternoon tea in Litton Cheney village hall. Most of the cakes were made by Kelly and served on vintage crockery and cake stands. The wedding cake also made by Kelly was three tiers of blue, ivory and pink with vintage lace and topped with wild flowers.

Guests and bridal party were taken to Litton Cheney by Ruby the Routemaster.

There was an evening disco and buffet for 150 where the guests were entertained with a surprise first dance.

After the wedding the couple spent a few days on the Isle of Sark, cycling, walking and coasteering. Their children enjoyed a holiday with their family in Leeds. They hope to visit Canada next year as a family for their official honeymoon.
