ANTHONY Michael and Samantha Jo Garvey had the wedding of the year thanks to the Warrington Guardian.

They won £6,000 worth of wedding day discounts for the service at St Oswald's in Winwick and celebrated at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

The colour scheme for the wedding was black, white and claret, and Samantha Jo was walked up the aisle to sound of Sail Away by David Gray.

"Everything was brilliant," said Samantha Jo, formerly Dickinson, a 23-year-old sales and marketing employee.

"It was very emotional and everyone was crying. The discounts made a massive difference. They just helped so much with the cost," she added.

Samantha and Anthony, a 26-year-old printer from Hall Nook in Penketh, enjoyed a week's honeymoon in Playa De Las Americas in Tenerife.
