Bride Carol Evans has had the fairytale wedding she had always dreamed of ... dressed as a princess to marry a toad!
Carol, 34, and her romantic husband Peter Traves, 55, splashed out ?67,000 on their big day in a fairy castle with guests dressed up as storybook characters.
The smitten pair spent thousands on their own designer costumes then hired outfits from a theatrical company for their 50 guests.

The romantic pair dressed as a fairy tale princess and her frog ... in this case Toad of Toad Hall
The couple's bridesmaid was their Lahasa Apso dog Hermione dressed in a velvet sequined collar.
And the pair walked down the aisle to a fanfare of trumpets in true Cinderella-style.

Architect Peter designed the three foot high wedding cake, a replica of Bovey Castle in Devon where the pair were wed.
But the day was organised by town planner Carol who wanted to bring the romance of her favourite fairy stories to her wedding day.

Carol said: 'I just had to be a princess which meant that Peter had to be a frog for the day.
'He wasn't sure about it at first but when he saw the costume for Toad of Toad Hall he was delighted.
'He will always be a prince to me and he calls me his princess. People think it's cheesy but not to us.'
The couple met through their jobs in 2003 and became engaged six years later.
They originally budgeted ?25,000 for their wedding day but Carole admitted the costs 'spiralled' as their ideas became more elaborate.

The couple ended up spending ?67,000 putting all the guests up for the night in the castle and hiring a string quartet, harpist and jazz band.
Carol, of Creigiau, Cardiff, said: '?67,000 seems a lot to most people but it was what we wanted, our 50 closest friends and family in a magical fantasy setting.
'We created elaborate regal identities for the guests - my dad was Lord Evans of Bridgend and mum was Queen Christine Benevolent ruler of Glamorgan.
'It really was a perfect fairytale day.'
And the couple's fairytale did not end there - they honeymooned at Disneyworld in Florida, of course.
Carol and Peter also dressed up the night before the big day at the hog roast that they held for their guests
