Nice day for a wet wedding: Bertha soaks happy couple

Newlyweds Katy Lomas, 28, and Richard Owen, 34, made the most of it when torrential downpours nearly ruined their wedding day
There is usually one guest at every wedding whose bad behaviour threatens to ruin the whole day.
But when the uninvited visitor is the tail end of a Caribbean hurricane, asking them to leave can prove difficult.
Newlyweds Katy Lomas, 28, and Richard Owen, 34, had to contend with the last gasp of Hurricane Bertha as they walked down the aisle on Saturday.
The downpour drowned out the couple’s voices as they exchanged vows, and burst through the roof, flooding the carefully-prepared venue as guests scrambled to stay dry.
When the wedding party moved to a £6,000 tepee outside, the couple found it standing in a foot of muddy floodwater.
But rather than wilt in the rain, the couple and their friends and family pitched in to save the day from soggy disaster.
With the help of staff at Wentworth Castle in Barnsley, the whole wedding and reception was moved back inside the venue.
Even the wedding cake and the entire bar was moved from one room, through the pouring rain, back into the castle.
After more than an hour of rearranging, Katy's father went up for the first pint of beer at the newly-created bar, which was met with a loud cheer from the guests.
The drenched couple, from Sheffield, ended the night dancing bare-foot in the rain, surrounded by their loved ones.
Speaking from bone-dry Oman, where the couple are on honeymoon, Richard, a primary school teacher, said: “It didn’t really go to plan but we made the best of it.
“Looking back on it, I suppose it was the best possible day. Everyone just pulled together and it was that kind of spirit.
“We thought we’d better get on with it. It was amazing how everybody just got on with it.

“It was the poor wedding planners I felt sorry for. They were soaked to the bone.”
