Bride-to-be Jenna Runacre from Saddleworth had dreamed of arriving on her big day in the back of a horse drawn carriage, however fears over bad weather, and the 3-mile trek to the church, cast doubts over the bride’s dream wedding day transportation.

The 3-mile journey from the bride’s home to the nearby church to marry Gareth Whiteley was a concern to the family as they believed the horse and carriage may take too long, and could also be affected by the possible bad weather.

Not wanting to let his daughter down, Jenna’s father arranged to borrow a 12-litre rig from his friend who runs a haulage company.

In an attempt to create the horse theme Jenna wanted, the black cab of the truck was transformed with coloured horses painted over the outside. The finishing touches were provided with fairy lights and coloured silk which decorated the truck to create the perfect wedding look.

The specially customised wedding truck was a complete surprise to the bride, who was gobsmacked by her ride to the church.

The bridesmaids followed up the bride in her horse themed truck in a sleek chauffeur driven Bentley, while the best man and groom rolled up to the church in a vintage Mustang Saloon.

The bride didn’t seem at all disappointed to have not had her horse and carriage, and described the truck as “absolutely stunning” before hopping onboard and being whisked off to her wedding.
