Not a white wedding

People are often told to inject their own personality into their wedding and for one couple from Nuneaton this meant rejecting the traditional idea of a white wedding all together.

Instead, Martin Eales and Claire Hall tied the knot in full motorcycle leathers, under a guard of honour formed by their biking friends, the Coventry Evening Telegraph reports.

The pair were married in front of 60 fellow bikers, family and friends at Nuneaton register office, before heading off to their reception in a convoy of 200 motorbikes.

For the mad keen bikers, both of whom are members of the Jugsters Motorcycle Club, there really was no more fitting theme for their wedding than a biking one.

The couple met at the Kingswood Tavern, which also hosted their reception, at one of the club's weekly meetings and romance soon blossomed as they travelled to rallies together.

As though proposing isn't nerve-wracking enough, it was at one of these rallies that Martin popped the question, getting down on one knee in front of 500 bikers.

He said: "It was scary. She thought I was going to get up and sing to her, but I ended up getting down on one knee and proposing."
