Sweetheart­s cap fuel-ish love affair with truck depot nuptials

-

Claire, 27, was a little taken aback at first by the choice of marital venue.

She admitted: “I was surprised to say the least. Not everyone gets married at work especially when it’s a breakdown and recover y business.

“However, we settled there and have three children so it’s our whole lives.

“Now, I c a n’t think anything more romantic.”

Breakdown trucks were used as wedding cars, festooned in romantic ribbons and, to make sure guests didn’t

of feel left out, specially adapted lorries were rolled out to ferry them to the reception.

Jamie added: “We fitted a baby seat to one truck, so our 14- month- old Archie, could be with us.

“My dad took our other children Stuart, seven, and Shannon, four, safely strapped in in another truck behind us.

“When Claire agreed to be my partner she knew how much cars and trucks were to me. They are my second love after family.”

The couple have been together for nine years since they met Inverness.

Jamie was studying to be a mechanic and Claire was on an early years learning course.

Claire recalled: “Our first date was a drive around the town in Jamie’s car. He was handsome and quite a catch.

“We then went to Burger King for a meal as most teenagers do on a first date.

“We still are still completely devoted to each other.”

Jamie added: “Hopefully we will be able to look back on our wedding photos and tell our grandchild­ren.”
