A couple from the UK had to hold their beach wedding twice, as the bride hadn't said 'I do'.

Kelly Sweetman and Nathan Rees had kissed and left the service in Cyprus, when their wedding planner realised the bride had not said the crucial words.

The duo had to go through the ceremony again an hour later to make sure that the marriage became legally binding, the Mirror reported.

"Nathan said his vows, the registrar told him to put the wedding ring on me and then announced that we were man and wife," Police Community Support Officer and the bride Sweetman said.

"I thought it was very strange I hadn't said my vows but I didn't say anything. I did notice all my guests looking very confused."

"Nathan and I then signed the register and were about to have our pictures taken. It was only when the wedding organiser overheard my guests saying that I hadn't said my vows that it went a bit crazy."

"The hotel had to call the county hall and get the registrar back out to the hotel. They had to re-decorate the wedding altar for us," she said.

Rees and Sweetman, who flew from their home in Cardiff to Cyprus, had their dream beach wedding organised by the hotel.

"Luckily everyone saw the funny side," Sweetman said.

"The registrar was amazing and bought all our guests drinks, which was really nice. It was just one of those things. The registrar had carried out the service many, many times but just forgot my vows this time."

But despite having to go through the whole service again, Tiler Rees claimed that he didn't have any qualms doing it.

"I didn't mind having to go through the service again. I got to kiss the bride twice. I'd marry Kelly every day if I could," he added.
