BY tradition, it would have been a horse and carriage. Nowadays a limo might be in order, or maybe just the car of the bride's father. But a beer delivery truck is something else.

Yet Sean Rose, who works for Carlsberg-Tetley, was adamant - he wanted the beer delivery truck to get his bride Lynn to the church on time. So the articulated lorry, more normally to be found carting beer, carried a different cargo on Saturday.

It is fair to say that this is probably the most unusual mode of wedding transport we've heard of yet. Until someone comes up with an even stranger notion.
