A -mad couple had a magical day when they got married dressed as their favourite Hogwarts characters.
Ria Scriggins, 34, and Matthew Tipper, 31, fell for each other after discovering they were both obsessed with the JK Rowling novels.
The couple, who have nine-month-old daughter Luna, arrived for the ceremony at Glenfield Town Hall on Saturday (25/5), wearing Hogwarts gowns and accompanied by an owl.
Part-time model Ria, who even has a Harry Potter lightning tattoo on her wrist, said: "I have always been a massive Harry Potter fan.
"I grew up reading the stories and every time I watch the films it takes me back to when I was younger.
"Before I met Matthew I had never met someone who liked it as much as me but he is just as passionate about Harry as I am.
"It's wonderful to be able to share that with someone and when we decided to get married it seemed obvious to have a Harry Potter theme.
"Everything about the wedding is Harry Potter themed even the vows. I said 'After all this time?' which is one of my favourite quote from Dumbledore and Matthew simply
said 'Always'. It was perfect."
The quote comes from the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is spoken by Professor Severus Snape revealing he loved Harry's mother.
Ria wore a white dress identical to the one worn by Hermione for the Yule Ball from the fourth ball.
She said: "I studied the movies to cram as many Harry Potter details into the wedding.
"Even the tables have little golden snitches on them, which are little Ferrero Rocher chocolates with wings on them.
"My dress is white, but it is in the same style as the one Hermione wears for the Yule Ball from the Trizward Tournament in the fourth film."
Meanwhile Matthew, a sales manager, donned a burgundy Gryffindor suit for the big day.
The couple will continue the wizard theme on honeymoon when they take a VIP tour of the Harry Potter studios in Watford.
