Mister Morris married a Morris dancer ... who arrived on the day in a Morris Minor.

Care worker Jody McQuie's wedding was one to remember when she tied the knot with Peter Morris at Colchester Town Hall on Saturday.

The Priory Morris Dancers club of St Osyth, of which Mrs Morris is a member, gave the couple a guard of honour.

Mr Morris, whose Gosbecks Road garage, Morris Services, specialises in reconditioning old cars, spent his wedding morning ensuring the open-top Morris Minor was in running order for his wife-to-be.

After the service, they drove away in his 1950s racing car.

The pair met when Jodie looked after Peter's mother Phyllis. They are due to honeymoon in Norfolk and visit Nova Scotia, Canada, later this year.
