A PAIR of TV buffs tied the knot in front of family and friends - all of whom were dressed as their favourite on-screen characters.

Stacey Savage, 29, and Simon Clarke, 40, married at Athelhampton House where an episode of Doctor Who, their favourite show, was filmed in the 1970s.

While Simon dressed as David Tennant’s Doctor Who and his bride appeared as his sidekick Rose Tyler, the happy couple asked guests to come as their favourite fictional figures.

Among the crowd of 100 well-wishers were versions of Audrey Hepburn, Mary Poppins, Homer and Marge Simpson and Toy Story’s Woody and Jessie.

The bride’s parents got into the spirit by arriving as the Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman and Richard Gere from An Officer and a Gentleman.

Other fancy dress outfits included Jim Carey from The Mask, Wolverine, Fred Flintstone, Batman and even a T-Rex from Jurassic Park.

The couple, from Blandford, also had various film and TV props on display, including a Dalek, a Tardis and K9 the dog from Doctor Who.

Ms Savage, who works at a solicitors, said she wanted the day to be extra special.

She said: “As I walked down the aisle and saw the sea of colour I just giggled all the way to the front.

“We are not strange people but we are both a little bit different and wanted a day people would remember for more than a pretty dress or a nice cake. It was amazing to have a day like that.”

Other guests included Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter, Rey from Star Wars and the Cat in the Hat.
