Vampires fans marry with a werewolf for a witness

But then most weddings don't see two vampire fans tying the knot in full costume - with a werewolf for a witness.
Bus driver Nigel Harvard and partner Alex decided on the theme because they did not want a big, white wedding.
The new Mrs Harvard, a mother-of-three who bought her £300 red and black dress online, said: ''I've been married before and just didn't want anything traditional.
''Nigel came up with the idea of a vampire theme and was expecting me to say no, but I loved it.''
The couple, from Surbiton, Surrey, toasted their union with goblets of red wine instead of the more traditional glasses of Champagne.
Mrs Harvard, a children's nursery cook, said: ''It was just something different. It was good fun to dress up, because I like that style of clothes anyway.
''It was an absolutely fantastic day. We told all our guests to wear fancy dress, and everyone made such an effort. I couldn't have asked for more.
''We had checked beforehand that it was okay to wear costumes, but the registrar was still in shock when we walked through the doors.
''We had to take the fangs out when we were making our vows though because it was hard to understand what we were saying. Apart from that, we had them in all the time.''
Registrar Anne Wood said: ''I had no idea what the couple had planned before the ceremony.
''It was only when I saw a skeleton and a group of witches in the car park that I knew it wasn't going to be a conventional wedding.
''It is a good job I am not of a nervous disposition as one of the witnesses was dressed as a werewolf, complete with huge hairy hands and a full head mask with fur and red eyes.
''I could see him in the corner of my eye throughout the ceremony.''
Mrs Harvard, who also works part-time at a local pub, admitted she did not have time to read the vampire-themed Twilight series of books before her wedding on October 31, but plans to do so soon.
