There are traditional weddings and then there are people who like to add their own twist to their big day.Jack McGowan, originally from Aberdeen in Scotland, and his wife Kathryn from Hillsborough, Northern Ireland, decided two or three bridesmaids would not meet the mark for the special occasion.

The newly-wed couple who tied the knot last week with 95 bridesmaids said it was "an absolutely unforgettable day".The average number of bridesmaids for a wedding in the UK is about three to five.Ms McGowan said as soon as the couple got engaged they were debating how many bridesmaids was too many.

"I was thinking and thinking about how it was going to work and I thought in my head, what's the biggest number of bridesmaids I could have?"She said the couple discussed having seven or eight, which then raised to nine or 10, but they eventually landed on 95.

The wedding took place in Larchfield estate near Annahilt, County Down, in Northern Ireland.

They had about 250 guests altogether, meaning 38% of the guests donned a bridesmaid dress.The redevelopment of Brighton’s Hippodrome and Hippodrome House, in Middle Street, includes a performance space, hotel, shop, bar and private members’ club.

City councillors voted unanimously to grant planning permission at a committee meeting on Wednesday.Planning officers said any detriment caused to the building and local area by the development would be outweighed by the benefits.

Owner Matsim, which bought the Hippodrome in 2020, will bring the main auditorium back into use as a flexible performance space and restore its decorative plasterwork.There will be a bar and restaurant for about 100 people on the ground level, a rehearsal space on the mezzanine above the stage’s fly-tower and hotel rooms on the floor above.
