Once again, we’re delighted to bring you another fantastic real green wedding story. Faye and David got married at Folly Farm near Bristol in April this year and did all they could to make the wedding as local and low carbon as possible.

Just a quick post tonight as we’ve been having sleepless nights with our nearly-2-year-old and I’m running on empty! I gave an interview a month or two ago with US-based Environmental Protection magazine and the article is now out.

Today, I am pleased to pass you over once again to our blogger bride, Jenny: “We plan to sign the legal marriage register the day before our wedding, so that we can hold our ceremony and reception wherever we want and write our own vows. I love the idea of being able to marry somewhere [...]

I have been contacted by BBC World Service Radio’s flagship breakfast programme: The World Today.
