PREPARATIONS are underway for the wedding of the first child from Swindon's biggest family to get married.

Charlotte will be the first of the 15 Povey children from Grange Park to walk up the aisle, in September.

The 21-year-old will marry Craig Preston, 23, the father of her two-year-old son, Sam at St Mary's Church in Lydiard Tregoze. All her brothers and sisters will be taking part in the ceremony either as bridesmaids or as ushers.

The ushers' suits have been bought for her seven brothers Thomas, 13, Callum, 14, Matthew, 15, Michael, 18, Christopher, 18 and Alex, 20.

Proud mum Sue Povey, said: "The suits are light grey with ivory shirts and red ties. They all looked absolutely lovely but I didn't take any photographs, I'm saving that for the wedding day."

Charlotte won't be short of help on the big day.

Sue said: "They will all have a special job to do.

"The ushers will show people around the church then help get people to the right places while the photographs are being taken. All the arrangements seem to be going very well so far.

"But there will probably be a few mishaps nearer to the date."

The seven ushers' suits were bought at Suits You in the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet centre.

The reception will be held at Freshbrook Community Centre.
