26
Earlier this month, 40 year old Stewart Campbell waited for around 3 hours for his cherished bride to be, 26 year old Samantha Hobbs to arrive on their wedding day.
But the husband to be had to forgive his blushing bride, as she was busy hiking up a 4,406 foot mountain to get to the unique wedding venue - at the top of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis!
The pair who are both ardent walkers decided to conduct their ceremony at the unusual location despite the fact that neither bride nor groom had ever climbed the mammoth mountain before.
The groom started his climb at 9.00am along with his 16 year old son, who was also the best man. Then at 9.30am the bride began her ascent of the mountain accompanied by her Father and a family friend who was also an official witness to the nuptials. Unfortunately Samantha’s climb was slower than expected, taking almost twice as long than that of Stewart.
Many hundreds of locals and tourists stopped to observe the Lancashire couples wedding on the summit on the sunny afternoon, and the groom was kept informed of his wife to be’s progress by the various other climbers and walkers who had passed her on her way up Ben Nevis.
The humanist ceremony eventually took place at 4.00pm, the bride wore a pink chiffon dress and white walking boots whilst the groom was kitted out in a kilt.
