A modest proposal

CRAIG MacLELLAN went down on one knee as he treated Emma Wilkins to a £1 wedding at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions.

They were trying out the new AutoWed Wedding Vending Machine, which provides everything a couple needs for the biggest day of their lives – at a fraction of the normal cost. Andrew Johnson, director and manager of the attraction, said: “While the wedding may not stand up in a court of law, it is a very romantic way to end a visit here, and in the first day of operation, it was certainly prompting couples to consider their longer-term plans together.

“We hope AutoWed will witness the beginning of many long-lasting relationships.”
