A PLYMOUTH couple took a two-week honeymoon to Taba Heights in Egypt following their June wedding.

A traditional church service at St Mary's in Tamerton Foliot saw Gemma Buddle and Damien Martin become husband and wife on Saturday, June 19.

Guests joined them at Boringdon Hall in Colebrook, for the reception.

Gemma, wearing a champagne coloured dress with strapless bodice, simple veil and tiara, was walked down the aisle by her father, Leon Buddle.

She carried a "beautiful" bouquet of white roses and green foliage and was attended by friends, Danielle Eyre and Laura Ward.

They wore simple but elegant emerald green, v-neckline dresses with cream wraps and carried smaller versions of Gemma's bouquet.

Bridegroom Damien had friend Richard Channing as his best man.

Damien is the only son of Terry and Susan Martin, of Somersham, Cambridge. Gemma is the only daughter of Leon and Janice Buddle, of Derriford.

The couple met at work three years ago and Damien proposed down on one knee.

Bride Gemma, said: "The weather was gorgeous. The groom became so emotional at the service, it was very touching, and he became emotional at the speeches. There were a lot of tears from him.

"On the evening, we had the first dance then after the first dance we also had a father and daughter dance."
