The wedding took place recently at Heywood Mount Hotel, Tenby, of Paul Richards and Helen Herbert.

The groom, a chef, is the son of Mrs. June Richards and the late Mr. Mike Richards, of Tenby, while the bride, an infrastructure analyst at Chevron Refinery, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David and Gwyneth Herbert.

Given away by her father, the bride wore an ivory strapless dress with diamante detail around the top of the bodice and detailing down the front and on the train of the dress.

The bridesmaid, Emily Johansson (bride's closest friend), wore a strapless floor-length gown in a stunning fuchsia colour.

Best man was the groom's best friend, Steve Young, while the page boy was the groom's nephew, Michael Richards.

After the ceremony, the couple held an intimate wedding breakfast with close family and friends, while at the evening reception, guests enjoyed a barbecue, followed by a fireworks display.

The couple, who live in Pembroke Dock, spent their honeymoon on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean.
