Wedding limo replaced by wedding bus by footie mad couple from Sunderland
Couple from Sunderland wanted something different on their wedding day so hired a wedding bus
A couple from Herrington who are both die-hard fans of their local football team, Sunderland FC, decided to incorporate their love of the club into their wedding day.
David Murphy and Victoria Anderson chose to have a wedding with a red, white and black colour scheme to chime in with the colours of Sunderland FC. In homage to the occasion in 1973 when Sunderland won the FA cup in Wembley and afterwards paraded the streets on a red double-decker bus, the pair decided they would swap their wedding car for a wedding bus just like the one the team rode on.
The bride-to-be along with her bridesmaids took a ride on the decorated wedding bus all the way to the church. Some members of family also came along for the trip, not wanting to miss out on the action.
The new Mrs Murphy wanted her wedding day transport to be unique as she said: ”Everybody else uses limousines and other wedding cars, but I just wanted something a little bit different. I had seen that when Sunderland played at Wembley they used a red double-decker bus, so I thought that would be good.”
The newlyweds have been together for 13 years and have 4 children together. The pair hadn’t got round to marrying before, but after Victoria’s grandfather fell ill, they decided to hurry up and tie the knot. They organised the entire wedding in just 4 months.
