THE bride wore white and was accompanied by 11 bridesmaids. A wedding like any other - except that this one was at ASDA.

Jill Piggott works in the Monks Cross store, fell in love with her groom, Pete Freeman, while serving him at the checkout, and wanted to be married in the supermarket.

And so it came to pass on Saturday. One guest said she had never been to a wedding like it, adding that everything was "lovely".

If this idea catches on, sets of sisters or friends who wish to marry at the same time may be able to negotiate a two-for-one wedding.
