Say you'll always be mine

How deep is their love? Well, about 150m (500ft), as bride and groom Kerry Bevan and Wayne Davies tied the knot at the bottom of a slate mine.

Out went the bridal veil and the groom's top hat as they and their 15 guests had to don helmets and wellies. The new Mrs Davies, 26, said: 'I still wore a £700 white dress and Wayne wore a smart dark-coloured suit.

'The only difference between us and any other couple tying the knot is that we had wellies on and hard hats which read “bride” and “groom” on the back.

'I was a bit concerned about getting the dress dirty and tried not to brush against any of the cave walls.'

The couple spent £560 hiring the Llechwedd mine in Merioneth, before holding a reception in a nearby hotel.
