Bride hitches a lift with police to her Big Day
1 October 2008
A bride turned up for her wedding in a police car – but she had not been nicked, but rather saved by the Boys in Blue.

Louise Stewart, 28, from Bradley Stoke, had hired a vintage Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire car to take her to her nuptials at Eastwood Park in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.
But the car broke down at a roundabout ten miles from the wedding venue where she was due to tie the knot with her Mr Right Dave Carter.
However, the police came to the damsel in distress's rescue and gave her a lift in their patrol car – complete with flashing lights and a siren – and got her to the church on time.
The new Mrs Carter told the Bristol Evening Post: "We were by the side of the road for 20 minutes or so and I thought we would never get to Eastwood Park on time.
"They said they could get us there by 2pm and they did, although we went so fast that my dress was over my head and I had to hold on really tight.
"Without them we would never have got there on time and the day would have been a disaster."
