A ride in a vintage Rolls Royce was given free of charge to poorly Northamptonshire man on his wedding day
Further to our recent article entitled, “wedding car hire plea to fulfil dying man’s wish” we are delighted to report that the bride and groom in question have tied the knot, and they did it in style with as they arrived on the big day onboard a vintage Rolls Royce wedding car.
Mr Prescott was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and wanted desperately to marry his partner of 10 years, Dawn Barrett, however they had no way of funding the big day. After putting out a plea in their local paper in Northamptonshire, the kind hearted people of the area were more than happy to pull out all of the stops to make the couple’s dream day come true.
Martyn Warsop generously offered the use of his vintage 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow for use as a wedding car on the day. This was high up on the bride’s list of priorities as she wanted her groom to ride in a Rolls Royce on their wedding day as he’d never been in one before.
For the wedding reception, the Holiday Innat Corby stepped up to the mark and offered the newlyweds a 3-course wedding breakfast for them and their 60 guests free of charge.
A great day was had by all, and the new Mrs Prescott was said to have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the local people and wanted to thank them from “the bottom of my heart” for all they did.
