A CARLTON couple are planning to start a "new adventure" after getting married – by moving to Scotland.
Laura English and Tom Bunting plan to move to the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, in January with Laura's five-year-old daughter, Jemima.
The couple, of Burton Road, Carlton, were married at the Full Moon pub, in Morton, on August 24.
Their wedding came two years after Laura, 37, was injured in a car crash while on holiday in Scotland in August, 2010.
Her mother, Christine Beard, 55, was also injured and died in September 2010 after suffering a pulmonary embolism at her home in Padleys Lane, Burton Joyce.
Laura said her mum would have loved the wedding, which had a Wind in the Willows theme. Around 40 guests, including people who helped Laura and her family following the accident and Mrs Beard's death, were invited.
The theme included sunflowers, which were Mrs Beard's favourite, while some of her favourite sayings were included in Laura's bouquet.
Laura said: "Tom wanted to wear a tweed jacket and made a joke about dressing like Toad of Toad Hall, and we just went with it.
"Mum wouldn't have wanted a traditional day for us either. We were very mindful of that."
Laura suffered mobility problems after shattering her foot and breaking her back in the accident.
The couple got together in April 2011 after Laura returned to work at Nottingham Prison, where Tom, 35, also worked.
She said: "He's been mine and Jemima's guardian angel. I had someone to share the hardships with, and Jemima had someone who was healthy, who could run after her.
"Tom actually got Jemima to propose to me for him. Jemima gave me the ring and asked if we can keep him."
Laura now works for East Midlands Ambulance Service, but intends to become a nurse practitioner at a GP surgery on the Isle of Lewis. Of the move, Laura said: "We decided as a family we would go and start a new adventure and chapter."
