A honeymoon in Cuba followed the wedding at St. Mary's Church, Tenby, of Mr. Mark Edward Bowley and Miss Suzie Marie Hughes.

The groom, an insurance product manager with HSBC, is the son of Roy and Shirley Bowley, of Weymouth, Dorset, while the bride, a cruise specialist with Carnival UK, is the daughter of Graham and Janet Hughes, of Knowling Mead, Tenby.

Given away by her father, the bride wore a designer gown which featured a sweetheart neckline with Swarovski crystal bodice.

Maid of honour was Anna Rue, while bridesmaids were Laura Dunne, Daniela Walker, Faye Allum, Kat Herridge (all bride's friends). Flower girls were Mali Jones-Hughes (bride's niece), Maya Rahman (groom's niece) and Holly Mathias (bride's niece). They wore fuchsia v-neck dresses.

Best men were Stephen Blaymires and Chris May (best friends), while ushers were Dimuth Jayasinghe, Jake Record, Alex Russell and Duncan Reade. Page boys were Ioan Jones-Hughes (bride's nephew) and Raffee Rahman (groom's nephew).

The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Andrew Davies, with Dr. John Harrison as organist.

A reception was held at the Giltar Hotel, Tenby, where a seven-course wedding breakfast for 120 guests was followed by an evening party. During the reception, the couple cut a magnificent six-tier wedding cake made by the bride's brother, Karl Jones-Hughes. Flowers for the wedding were by the bride's sister-in-law, Bethan Jones-Hughes.

The couple are making their home in Southampton.
