EVERY bride's wedding day is unforgettable but for Grace Gibbons, Saturday (July 8) was extra special.

That was when the Bury Times Group Bride of the Year walked down the aisle and said "I do" to fiance Richard Buckley.

St Bernadette's RC Church in Whitefield was the venue for the wedding of the year.

Winning the title back in February meant the couple had a whole host of prizes to make the occasion a most stylish affair.

And miraculously the rain stayed away although that wasn't part of the prize!

The couple, pictured after the wedding, live in Northlands, Radcliffe. They met three years ago in a Bolton pub. Grace (25) is a sales executive and Richard (26) has his own mechanics business.

They celebrated their big day with a reception at the Elizabethan Suite before jetting off for a honeymoon in Lanzarote.
