Wed in Style

Bride takes a tuk-tuk to church:

They are a familiar sight darting in and out of traffic in the colourful chaos of the Indian city Delhi, but not what you might expect to find at a traditional English wedding in rural Norfolk.

Yet bride Emma Willis, from Toftwood, on the edge of Dereham, could not imagine any better way of arriving at All Saints Church, in Mattishall, on her wedding day than in a three-wheeled Indian taxi know as a tuk-tuk.

The high school teacher fell in love with India while working there in 2006 and 2007, and when she started planning her wedding to Jeremy Smith, a 37-year-old patent attorney from Wilby, Northamptonshire, she knew she wanted to include something from India in their special day.

“When I was in India tuk-tuks were my mode of transport. I loved them. I just wanted something significant about India to be part of our wedding day and the tuk-tuk was also a bit of fun,” said the new Mrs Smith, 35, who did charity work with schools just outside Delhi when she first went to India in 2006 and later worked at an international school in Ooty, in Tamil Nadu.

“It was great coming to the church by tuk-tuk. You could feel the wind as we were driving by and it was just like being in India with all the same sounds.”
