Friends and relatives gathered at Hotel Penrallt, Aberporth, to celebrate the marriage of Nicola Owen, youngest daughter of Brian Hodson and the late Dot Taylor, of Bolton, Lancashire, and John Charles Owen, youngest son of Iris Owen and the late Emrys Owen, of Cardigan.

Given away in marriage by her father, the bride wore a champagne duchesse satin dress.

The matron of honour was close friend and colleague Carolyn Evans who also made the wedding cake.

Best man was Gareth Owen (groom's brother), and ushers were Andrew Davies and Peter Davies (groom's nephews).

The couple have made their home in Blaenporth.
