Here come the, er, bridesmaids..

A BRIDE walked down the aisle followed by this huge entourage of 28 bridesmaids.

When Sarah Hellyer, 37, one of 12 children, first agreed to marry Matt, 46, she told him: “I want all my nieces to be bridesmaids.”

She also wanted Matt’s daughter and her best friend’s daughter to join her. But Sarah and Matt had a 10-year engagement and by the time they got round to tying the knot many more little girls had been born into the family.

So she wed in July accompanied by Hannah, 25, Isabel, 25, Emily, 23, Joanna, 23, Abi, 22, Anya, 22, Fiona, 22, Molly, 21, Esther, 20, Chloe, 20, Jade, 20, Rachael, 20, Victoria, 20, Maria, 18, Anna, 17, Carly, 16, Naomi, 16, Ellie, 15, Rosa, 14, Lucie, 13, Miranda, 13, Daisy, eight, Maisie, six, five year olds Erin, Lily, Juno and Ella, and Willow, age two. A vintage bus was hired to transport them all to St Mary’s Church in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset.

The couple also had two groomsmen and two page boys. Sarah, a teacher, said: “I would have loved all 28 of my nephews but I don’t think we could have coped with all of them too.”
