A couple decided to add extra colour to their wedding as they wanted it to be unique as themselves.

It was love at first sight for 31-year-old Adam and Emma, 25, who first met online in March 2019.

The couple began talking, and plans were made for Emma, who lives in Dixon, Missouri, in America, to visit Adam in Prudhoe.

After meeting each other in person, the pair found each other to be exactly alike.

So much so that on Emma's second visit to the UK, a particular question would change her life completely.

"In February of this year, Emma came over for her second visit, and I proposed to her in my mother's kitchen," Adam said.

"We then decided to plan our wedding straightaway with the date of November 4.

"After that was settled, we chose what we wanted to do for our stag and hen party.

"For my stag do, I went out for a few drinks with my brother, my mother's partner and Emma's father.

"Emma, on the other hand, decided her hen party would be like a girly night, so she was with my mother and sister-in-law."

Finally, the big day arrived, and the pair married at Hexham House.

Adam said, "My favourite moment of the day was getting married to the love of my life, and Emma agreed.

"We had everyone essential around us. The best man was my brother Peter Westgarth, my nephew JayJay was the page boy, and Emma's dad Jose Martinez was the usher. For Emma, her bridesmaid was my sister-in-law Lauren Westgarth, and the flower girl was my niece Evie Westgarth.

"We didn't have a theme, and it was more of a colour scheme which was red, white and black.

"After the ceremony at Hexham House, we had our reception at Prudhoe Football Club, around half 3 to 4 pm, followed by champagne and food around 5 pm.

"Our wedding cake was amazing.

"It was vanilla and cherry jam which was lovingly made by Lauren's mother, Brenda.

"Our favours to our guests were little red bags filled with love heart sweets, Celebration Chocolate, a momento scroll and somewhere filled with cinnamon vodka shots.

"Everyone had a great time, especially with the entertainment, which was karaoke and pool.

"We have not had our honeymoon yet, but we are looking to book it soon.
