'Bestival' Wedding For UK Couple

A couple who became engaged at last year's Bestival have announced plans to return to the festival this year – so they can tie the knot.

According to the Daily Echo, the couple – Donna Clark and Darren Smith – are hoping to marry at the Big Love Inflatable Church at the musics event when it returns in September.

The pair have admitted they are huge festival fans and they realised there was no better place for them to marry.

Speaking to the newspaper, Ms Clark, 38, said: "It all came about as we sat down to organise our wedding and realised that we were spending thousands of pounds trying to please others and decided to do exactly what we wanted to do.

"We had already made bookings, but decided it wasn't what we really wanted. I spoke to my mum as I didn't want her to be upset and she just said it was so us. We've stopped trying to please everyone else and now we're going to don our afro wigs and party."

While the couple will 'marry' at the Big Love Inflatable Church, they will also have their ceremony proper at Southampton Register Office two days before – and just one hour before Bestival gets underway.

They first met as pupils at Testwood School but only started dating when they rekindled their friendship on Facebook a year ago. At the festival, the couple will spend their honeymoon in "pod pad" accommodation on site before holding a reception at Calmore Cricket Club.

Mr Smith, 40, explained: "It's a very expensive shed, but in terms of festivals it's absolute luxury and it's exactly what we wanted."

This year, Bestival takes place from September 4 to 7 at Robin Hill Country Park, Isle of Wight.
