SPONDON couple Lyndsey Ward and Leigh Warren tied the knot with a Dirty Dancing-themed wedding.
The couple got married at St Werbergh's Church, in Spondon, before heading to their reception at Eastwood Hall in a 1950s VW Beetle, while their wedding party travelled in VW camper vans.
Lyndsey, who is a field sales adviser for the Nottingham Post, said: "I decided on the cars before anything else, as I love Beetles and the theme came from there.
"I was thinking about the 1950s and then realised Dirty Dancing was set in the 50s, so it all just went from there."
Finishing touches inspired by the film included watermelon bellinis on arrival at the venue and a watermelon-shaped postbox for all their cards – in a reference to a line from the movie.
Entertainment was provided by a band who played all the hits from the film as well as teaching people some of the dances.
Lyndsey, 30, had seven adult bridesmaids and three younger ones. The older ones all wore 1950s-inspired dresses.
Leigh, 41, a carpet fitter, had two best men – his best friends Ian Peake and Gerhard Freudenreich.
They had about 100 day guests and around a further 100 people attended the evening party.
For their honeymoon the couple – who have an 18-month-old son, Charlie – spent a week in Aruba, in the Caribbean.
