THE sun was shining over newlyweds Jamie and Natasha Vine in Worton on Saturday as the pair tied the knot and said ‘I Do’.

The couple, from Devizes, embraced sharing the big day with Harry and Meghan and watched the royal wedding while they were preparing for their own nuptials.

They even took a ride in a vintage campervan, a surprise organised by father of the bride Keith Green.

Mr Green said: “It was a brilliant day, fantastic. The girls watched the royal wedding while they were getting ready and having their makeup done which I think was quite special.

“I gave the bride away and gave a father of the bride speech, there was also a great speech from the best man.“I had arranged for a campervan to take them from the church to the venue, which was a total secret to the pair. That made Tash cry when she saw what I had planned for them.”

The happy couple are now honeymooning in Turkey after the picture perfect day.

Emery Gate shopping centre in Chippenham screened the wedding and gave strawberries and cream to the first 100 keen royalist to join the party.

Forest Dale Road in Marlborough was closed as residents pulled out all the stops and threw a street party.

Midcounties Co-operative Food store on Royal Wootton Bassett High Street celebrated as part of the annual town carnival and raised £250 for The Outward Bound Trust.

Street party-goers in Devizes enjoyed a sunny Saturday while watching the royal wedding with food, drinks and entertainment.

Musicians played into the afternoon in Sidmouth Street as people celebrated the royal marriage at a party with food and drink supplied by firms, and cheered on those taking part in Alzheimer’s Support’s annual canalside Walk to Remember as they crossed the finish line.

Stephany Bardzil head of communications and engagement at Alzheimer’s Support, said: “It was a massive community event that many people got involved with.

“When we realised that our Walk to Remember was talking place on the same day as the wedding we decided it was a great opportunity to do a community event that involved as many people as possible.

“The traders on Sidmouth Street were fantastic. It was brilliant, the atmosphere was really upbeat and happy.

“The weather really helped too. People came to see the wedding and stayed for the whole afternoon as there was live music all day.”

Although it is too soon to know how much was raised by the street party and walking event, the charity has thanked street traders for their support.

Apetito donated food for the party, Light and Sound sorted the big screen and bands and Haydens Bakery donated cakes.Sassy Chic had vintage motor bikes on display, Walter Rose cooked up delicious pulled pork rolls and Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Greggs and Reeves all donated food.

She also thanked new mayor Andy Geddes for his role throughout the day.

At Rowdeford School the atmosphere was filled with excitement as the staff and students held an early celebration for the royal wedding.

Everyone came to school dressed in red, white and blue. Students had decorated bunting and made posters to be displayed. Lunch was outside in the sunshine with a party atmosphere and music playing.

The school decided to have an American/English theme for the meal with Burger and Chips which went down well. Throughout the week, lessons have been linked to the wedding with dress designs and singing.

Ceri Brookes, of Hen House Devizes, created the dress for

Princess Anne’s daughter-in-law Autumn Philips for the big day. Mrs Brooks was chosen to design the outfit after being introduced through a mutual friend and said: “To see your work being worn and appreciated like it was at the royal wedding is really enjoyable. Meghan looked beautiful. Her dress was definitely less is more, and that is what we often do with our brides. I definitely think her dress will have an impact on wedding dress styles in the future. Her dress was beautiful and elegant and classic.”
