A couple of Harry Potter superfans forked out £19,000 to bring a bit of Hogwarts to their big day.
Marcus and Caroline Hewston decided on a magical Harry Potter themed wedding at Dalhousie Castle in Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh, complete with broomstick bouquets and an owl to carry the rings.
The couple, from Walsall, said they both wanted to make sure their nuptials were 'completely different' and I reckon they managed that.

Caroline, 35, said: "We've both always loved Harry Potter - so with the magic of it, and having children, we just thought it would fit perfectly.
"I found loads of ideas online but I didn't want to re-create someone else's vision, I wanted my own wedding.
"We had gold antique mirrors, everything was written in the Harry Potter style font, and we even had broomstick bouquets for the bridesmaids.

"Me and my bridesmaids spent ages sanding down bottles, printing off potion labels and crafting different decorations.
"A white owl from the falconry actually delivered our rings during the ceremony, and we had Hedwig's theme playing as it flew down the aisle.
"After the ceremony our guests got to meet the owls at the drinks reception which was lovely.

"The wedding program I printed off was in the style of Harry Potter's 'The Daily Prophet', which had the order of the ceremony on.
"The idea of the wedding was to be completely different and we just wanted it to be completely our own."
Once the ceremony was over, the couple's evening do had a similar theme and got a make-up artist in to paint guests' faces

Caroline says that the wedding took a lot of planning and the bride and her pals did some crafting to make things more personal. The couple got engaged in 2015 but decided to put their wedding on hold until their children were old enough to walk down the aisle.
She added: "We went to Scotland for a holiday and we booked to stay at Dalhousie Castle and we just fell in love with the venue.
"When we decided on an October wedding we thought Halloween, and then we also found out J.K. Rowling had written a lot of the Harry Potter books in Edinburgh.

"We had a humanist wedding and we wanted it to be different - we started it off with a Mexican hug.
"Everyone fully got involved in the dressing up and the face paint - I loved it and everyone else did too.
"The wedding was like my little creative outlet - I love planning things and being able to plan my own wedding was amazing.
"It was like Scotland meets Harry Potter meets Halloween."
