Your Big Day in pictures
Tate-Maudsley

Shelley, an information supervisor, and Andrew, a joiner, honeymooned in Antigua.

Gradwell - Celebrating 50 years of marriage
Honeymooning on a British farm seems miles away from the exotic dream destinations of today's newlyweds.
Yet for Bill and Eilieen Gradwell it was the perfect way to celebrate the happy occasion when they tied the knot in Preston in June 1948.
Now four children, nine grandchildren and four great grand children later, Mr and Mrs Gradwell are celebrating 50 years of being a truly happy couple.
Bill, 81, a retired Leyland Motors machine tool fitter of 43 years, said he "fancied her right away" when he met Eilieen at St Lukes Youth club in 1944.
Then courting in the early post-war days was a "case of going for walks in Avenham Park" or trips to Blackpool.
Eilieen, 80, remembers their first trip to Blackpool with a group from the youth club.
She said: "We went on the train and we had our first photo taken together on the front.
"Then he took me on the Grand National, a sort of a big dipper on the South Shore – I was frightened to death."
Now, Bill and Eileen's family have organised a week's stay in a hotel in Blackpool. Bill, who has a heart condition said they will be taking deck chairs but do not plan on doing any donkey rides.
And, said Bill, the secret to a long and happy marraige is to "just love them all the time".

Houghton
Rev Edward Houghton was ordained to the priesthood by His Eminence Cormac Murphy O'Connor, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, at Westminster Cathedral.
Fr Edward is a Prestonian, from Ashton. The two-hour ceremony was attended by around 50 priests, including Fr Edward's brother Fr Peter and friends and family from Preston.
There were also many friends and parishioners from the parishes of Kentish Town and Westminster where Fr Edward has been working over the last couple of years. Others had travelled from France and Poland to be there.
The Archbishop said that is was fitting for Edward as a Prestonian to be ordained at Westminster Cathedral as its patron St John Southworth was also from the Preston area.
Father Edward will remain in Westminster for sometime before beginning work in Chiswick later this year.

Gracie
A schoolgirl who suffered horrific arm injuries after being attacked by a dog has received a special gift from a charity
Margaret Gracie, 11, from Lancaster, received a £50 gift voucher from the Child Victims of Crime charity after being nominated for the award by PCs Paula Heaton and Simon Forgham.
The Ryelands Primary School pupil suffered horrific arm injuries after being attacked by a dog while playing football with friends on the estate last year. The injuries saw Margaret undergo a major operation to put two steel plates in her arm and almost 40 steel screws. She also needed more than 30 stitches in the wound.
Child Victims of Crime is the only National Police Children's Charity and was founded by the British Police Rugby Section.
