The couple had a bouncy castle at their reception

A Derbyshire couple have tied the knot with the help of 23 bridesmaids at their wedding.

Mark Brailsford, 26, and Ruth Armstrong, 28, were married at Littleover Methodist Church.

Joining them down the aisle on Saturday was their group of bridesmaids, ranging from two to 30 years old.

Children's charity employee Miss Armstrong said she worked with many of the bridesmaids and could not narrow her choice down.

I knew there'd be people disappointed if they weren't a bridesmaid Ruth Armstrong

The couple, both from Alvaston, also had a bouncy castle and a fish and chip van at their reception.

Mr Brailsford said: "I got bored of normal weddings.

"Ruth works with a load of kids and has done throughout her career, so we couldn't just choose one - we chose 23."

Ruth, who works at local charity Illuminate, said: "I knew there'd be people disappointed if they weren't a bridesmaid.

"We've told them a colour and they are all wearing red but in their own style. We've said they can get something that suits them and they can wear again, so it's not just money spent for one day.

"I've always wanted at my wedding to have a fish and chip van and a bouncy castle and it all kind of flowed from there. We thought if we were doing that we might as well do it all our own way."

The BA (Theology) programme will be delayed for a week with students now returning on Saturday 16^th January. The week 18^th to 22^nd January will become an "Assessment week" with the examinations for the first semester courses being held at the end of that week.
