The marriage took place earlier this year at St. Mary's Church, Tenby, between Miss Chloé Newman and Mr. Ross Barnes.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Newman, of Pettswood, Kent. The groom is the son of Mrs. Susan Barnes and the late Mr. Jeffrey Barnes, of Tenby.

The couple met while studying photo media at Bournemouth University. The bride works for BBC World News at Broadcasting House, London. The groom, now working for his father-in-law's family business, is the manager of The George and Dragon, Downe, Kent.

The bride looked stunning in a vintage style dress with layers of ivory lace with matching veil.

The maid of honour was Holly Newman, sister of the bride. The two bridesmaids, both cousins of the bride, were Faye and Sadie James. They wore short ivory dresses. The two flower girls were Lily Ford and Ritta Villas-Boas. They wore ballerina-length dresses of navy blue with ivory sashes made by Claire Winn Jones, of Egg Cup.

The best man was Simon Crockford, together with ushers James O'Connell and Pip Christopher, were friends of the groom. The third usher was James Barnes, brother of the groom.

The couple were married by Father Irving Hamer, Vicar of St. Martin's Church, Roath, Cardiff, a long-standing friend of the family.

The reception was held in a marquee on Tenby harbour with catering provided by Matthew Ronowitz and staff of The Qube, Tenby. The marquee was decorated by Cath Graham from Make it Pretty. The flowers arrangements and bouquets were made by Karen O'Doherty and Susan Barnes. The wedding cake was made by Penny Jackson from The Bothy Tearooms at Colby Lodge.

The couple travelled to San Francisco, Hawaii and Las Vegas for their honeymoon. They are making their home in Bexley, Kent.
