Be wary of using horses and carriages at your wedding

So you wanted a traditional or vintage type of wedding and you had access to a horse-drawn carriage and wanted to use that to transport you to church. Well, be careful. Make sure that the horse is mild mannered and will not bolt on you!

Poor Sophie. All she wanted was a romantic wedding but look at what happened to her!

Sophie Clarke, 29, an accountant from South Littleton, Worcs., had spent three years preparing for her wedding to shop manager Karl Woods, 36.

On Saturday a traditional horse and carriage arrived at her house at 12.30pm to take her and her father, Bob Clarke, 56, to their wedding at nearby St Leonard’s Church in Bretforton.

But during the journey, the horse bolted after becoming scared by the oncoming traffic and the driver of the carriage and his assistant both fell off.

Meanwhile, the wedding guests waited at the church in vain until a passer-by told them the news and a friend rushed the groom to the scene of the accident.
