DON'T they look happy? Bridegroom George Coupe took a little time to take a shine to the idea of marriage but was soon all smiles with his bride Ceridwen Daroch-Bartley.

The two four year olds took centre stage at Eagley Infant School when they tied the knot at a wedding celebration.

The mock ceremony was all part of lessons about real life -- and the pretend occasion even ended with cake and celebration orange all round.

Head teacher Marion Kershaw explained: "It's all part of personal and social education studies. Each year we have a different theme. This year, we decided on a wedding. The children all loved it -- although, I think the groom got a little bit fed up at the end.

"He was more interested in throwing the confetti!

"We want to thank all parents who sent their children to school in lovely clothes. The whole class dressed up as guests for a wedding, with button holes and hats. They even had a wooden four-tier wedding cake. It wasn't just the children who had a good time, the teachers did too."
