Sally Parsons wanted a traditional white wedding, with something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

She certainly got to wear her dream wedding dress for the day, and the something old was a 1909 steam roller owned by her new husband, Bob Watts.

Sally, 42, chugged up a makeshift aisle on the antique apple-green Aveling and Porter steamroller at the couple's blessing ceremony at a steam show on Saturday.

Star Trek She and Bob, 46, decided to get hitched at Laughton Steam Fair after their love of steam engines brought them together just over a year ago.

Crowborough-based Sally said it was the first time anyone had got married at a steam show.

The marriage was blessed on the platform of a nine-ton antique Mortier organ by the Reverend David Farley. The theme-tune from Star Trek blasted out of the giant pipes after the ceremony was over.

Sally, a librarian, said she had been waiting for her wedding day for 42 years and was determined to make it perfect.
