Lovebirds tied the knot in a care home's first ever wedding.

Marianna Servini and Geoff Allen, who have been together for 35 years, got married at Ms Servini's home in Carlton Court Care Home on Wednesday.

The bride's brother Daniel and community development manager, Manj Uppal, were the two witnesses at the wedding, which was organises in just a couple of weeks.

The new Mrs Allen said: "This is like a dream come true for me, I never thought this would happen but when I asked if we could hold our wedding here, the team were delighted and have done everything they can to make it happen."

Her husband added: "We are so happy, it’s been a lovely day."

The home is now on the lookout to create more special events such as this for its residents.
