On their way from the wedding at St Mary’s, the bride and her husband, who used to play cricket for Marlborough College, his brother Mark and close friend Bart Nelson and the ushers stopped off for an impromptu game on the college playing fields.

The 200 guests at the wedding included the Mayor and Mayoress of Marlborough, Nick and Edwina Fogg.

The bride was attended by her younger sisters Alice and Jessica and flower girls Phoebe Peppiatt and Sasha Hosier together with page boy Harry Peppiatt.
Her sister Eleanor and the bridegroom’s sister Rachel Peppiat, performed the readings and Alice and Jessica entertained the guests singing Ave Maria and Pie Jesu as the register was signed.
