A bride to be was so passionate about Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice that she arranged to be married in the original costumes from the BBC adaptation of the novel.

When they wed bride and groom Denise and Stuart Vaughn visited Lyme Park in Disley where the BBC production was filmed, to pose for their wedding photographs.

45 year old Denise said:-

“This was my second marriage and I had already done the white meringue dress. I am a bit of a thespian and a huge fan of period dramas.

I know the book back to front and found out about this shop in London which rents out the costumes.

The costume I wore was from the first ball scene, when Elizabeth Bennett first meets Mr Darcy. Stuart was okay with it all as he is a thespian as well.

He sent me a text on the morning of the wedding to say ‘Got outfit on - must love you!’

It was like having my very own Mr Darcy.”

We were on the way to our reception when we stopped on the side of the road and got a picture by a field of sheep with Lyme Park in the background.

The image had featured on our original wedding invitations so we had to get a picture. The whole day was perfect.”

The BBC version of Pride and Prejudice famously starred Colin Firth as Mr Darcy.
