British Couples Low Key Wedding Draws A Lot Of Interest

A British couple who wanted a low-key wedding got that and more. Catherine Webb and Mark Campbell decided to tie the knot in a low-key ceremony. They assured family and friends that it was not necessary to come to the wedding, the second for each of them. Instead, the couple, who planned to marry while on holiday in Barnstaple, Devon placed an advertisement in the local paper looking for two witnesses for their ceremony.

The response to the advert was overwhelming, especially after the North Devon Journal picked up the story. Within hours of its publication, the couple had dozens of volunteers, including a young brother-and-sister pair who stood in as a bridesmaid and a pageboy. A local Barnstaple florist donated a bridal bouquet and one of the volunteers organised a reception following the ceremony.

In all, fifteen locals attended the wedding and reception for the pair. As for the Campbells, they liked Barnstaple so much that the couple plans to move there.
