A couple might have put on the UK's cheapest wedding, splashing out just £300 ($400) for their big day.
Chelsea-Marie and Hayden Davies had originally planned a more expensive celebration in July complete with DJ, photo booths and kids' entertainment, but when their plans were ruined by the coronavirus pandemic they decided to go for a more low-key affair.
As restrictions eased they tied the knot in August, with Chelsea-Marie wearing a bargain £10 ($13) dress from eBay as well as a £1.50 ($2) veil, while Hayden wore a £30 ($40) suit from Peacocks and a £20 ($27) pair of Sports Direct shoes.

Once they said their vows, Chelsea-Marie and Hayden, both 25, went to the Brewers Fayre with their two guests, where they were able to take advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
Chelsea-Marie, from Glastonbury, Somerset, said: "We decided to have a wedding on a budget because we didn't want a fuss, we just wanted it to be about us.
"We talked about it and we'd come to an agreement where we just wanted it to be small, intimate and romantic.
"It was so much easier, there was less pressure, you weren't worrying about anything at all, it was just us in the moment just as it's supposed to be.

"Really expensive weddings can almost turn into a circus. I've spoken to a few people from wedding groups who've said they're struggling to budget on £20,000 and I'm like 'what?'.
"What we ended up doing came to just £300.
"As the wedding was on a Wednesday we were even able to take advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and got 50 percent off our meals."
The pair got married at the Taunton Registry Office on 19 August before they and their two guests visited Brewers Fayre where they tucked into lasagne and chicken dishes.
Chelsea-Marie wants other couples to know that you don't need to spend a fortune to have a special day.

She added: "My advice to people would be to not worry about massive things you want just to show off at your wedding, it's not worth it.
"The only thing that you're having a wedding for is to marry the person you love and that is the most important part of it.
"As long as your wedding's OK it doesn't matter how your reception or anything else turns out.

"Your main priority for having a wedding is to marry the person you love and if you're doing that what else can go wrong?"
