Glasgow council allowed a couple to marry at a very unusual location.

Laura Shaw, 32, and Craig Sanders, 33, have been together since they were teenagers and had their heart set on an outdoor wedding location.

The Mansewood couple had originally planned to get married at a music festival before it was cancelled, leaving them searching for a new location.

They then joked that they could tie the knot on their vegetable allotment which they lease from Glasgow City Council.

Laura, who works for Quarriers, and Craig, a chef, then decided to apply for permission and were thrilled when the homegrown approach was accepted.

Produce grown on the plots played a big part in their wedding with Laura’s bouquet made up of flowers grown onsite.

Laura, who is the allotment committee’s Events Organiser, said: “We wanted our wedding to be eco-friendly and chilled.

“I’ve had my allotment for about four years and love it, so when our original venue fell through, I jokingly suggested to another committee member that we could hold it at the allotments.

“We approached the council to ask if it was possible and were thrilled when they said ‘yes’.

“There’s a real community at the allotments and we have a lot of events, so this was just like a big open day.

“People told me to pick flowers from their plots for my bouquet and the allotment’s pizza oven was also put to good use feeding the guests after the Humanist ceremony. It was perfect!”

The guests also enjoyed rhubarb and elderflower cordial and cocktails containing mint and rosemary grown by plot-holders.

Attendees were advised to wear wellies while the bride wore white Doc Martens instead of heels with her dress.

Councillor Angus Millar, Glasgow's Convener for Climate, congratulated the happy couple on their special day.

He said: “Huge congratulations to Laura and Craig on their wedding.

"I know people really cherish their allotments and the friends they make there, so it is wonderful that they were able to hold their wedding in this unusual and special location.

"I wish them all the very best for the future."
