A couple who met again through the Friends Reunited web site have married.

Lovestruck classmates Anna and Gary Baker, of Arundel Road, Peacehaven, yesterday became the first couple to tie the knot at a new register office at the Meridian Centre.

Friends Reunited gave the couple the chance to finally tell each other of the love they never revealed as pupils at Tideway School in Newhaven.

Since becoming reacquainted in February 2002, the couple, both 34, have also managed to provide Friends Reunited with its seventh baby.

Anna gave birth to Sean on Christmas Day 2002.

They have four other children between them from previous marriages.

Anna said: "This is the best day of my life.

"To be married to Gary after all this time makes it even more special.

"I can't believe we're together after so long apart."
