A mum and daughter from York married their partners at the same time – in a double wedding.
Hannah Shepherd, 32, was walked down the aisle by her stepdad of 17 years, Philip Grant, 69, to marry Christopher Johnson, 35.
And minutes later in the same ceremony Hannah's mum, Helen Shepherd, 64, married Philip.
Helen was walked down the aisle by her daughter and Hannah's sister, Samantha Brown, 36.
Hannah, Helen and their entourage spent the morning getting ready together for their double wedding, which took place on December 21 last year, at the Burn Hall Hotel in Huby.
The brides decided to have a double joint wedding because they are very close, living near each other and holidaying together regularly.
Hannah, a finance assistant, said: "It really was the most special day ever.
"All the emotion and fun of a wedding doubled – it was so lovely.”
Helen said: "I can only thank Hannah and Chris because had they not have suggested and started planning it, we would just have never got round to it, even though we’ve been saying we’re getting married for the last 10 plus years.
