Zoe Natasha Thornton (née Withers) and Stephen Michael Thornton, from Poundbury, celebrated their wedding on September 6 surrounded by family and friends.

The happy couple, aged 30 and 31, have been together for nearly 10 years and married at St Johns the Evangelist Church in Trowbridge, in front of 83 guests.

Following the ceremony a reception was held at Grittle-ton House near Chippenham, where everyone enjoyed a three course meal and live music, along with a disco and buffet later in the evening.

Mr Thornton’s friends from Bournemouth University also came down for the occasion.

The pair’s wedding had a ‘Cadbury-purple’ colour theme and they had a three tier sponge cake with flowers to match the gerbera and lisianthus bouquets.

Mr and Mrs Thornton will now honeymoon in the Canary Islands on board cruise ship Adventure of The Seas.

The bride and groom thanked both sets of parents and their family and friends, and said: “Without them none of this would have been possible.”
