Couple Hold Reception At Pizza Hut

A newlywed couple celebrated their wedding day by choosing to hold their reception at the venue of their very first date – Pizza Hut.

According to the Daily Mail, the couple, named as Julie Hansford and Paul Young, chose the venue in Salisbury after having their first date there 14 years earlier.

The pair tied the knot at St Michael and All Angels Church in Coombe Bisset, Wiltshire, before they and their 80 guests arrived at the restaurant. At the reception, they were treated to deep-pan pizzas as well as a special pizza-shaped wedding cake, with a 'pepperoni' heart on the top.

Commenting on the idea behind the reception, Julie, now Mrs Hansford, is quoted by the publication as saying: "It was really my idea. It actually only started as a joke when I said to Paul 'one day we will get married in that church and have our reception at Pizza Hut in Salisbury'.

"Once we started thinking about it more, it seemed like a really good idea - something fun and original that we'd always remember."

She added: "Some of our very first dates and most memorable times together in those early years were spent at the Salisbury Pizza Hut restaurant.

"It was our favourite place to eat and we still go there every few months."

Mr and Mrs Young first met at an engagement party of a mutual friend in March 2000. A few weeks later, they went to Pizza Hut's Salisbury restaurant on their first date. Four years later, Mr Young proposed to his partner.
