Donkeys make the day for Julie and Mark

Julie Murphy and Mark Thomas married in early September in a romantic autumnal ceremony in the beautiful seaside resort of Beer, Devon. Although from Birmingham, they fell in love with the picturesque village the moment they came across it. 

Over 100 guests joined the couple to celebrate. The wedding took place at the local church, followed by snaps on the beach, a wedding breakfast at Steamers Restaurant and a reception at the charming Dolphin Hotel. 

Clearly not ones for convention, two donkeys accompanied Mark and Julie through the town after their wedding. As regular visitors to the local donkey sanctuary, they couldn't resist including donkeys Angel and Mary (pictured) in the service.
