A bride who travelled to her wedding ceremony by train said it made the day even more memorable.

Bethan Seddon, a regular user of the Coryton line in Cardiff, got to the alter on time by taking a South Wales Metro train to Penarth Pier Pavilion.

She and her now-husband Chris had used the line throughout their relationship and wanted to make it part of their big day.

"I know our guests were surprised when they heard the plan but Transport for Wales really made it special," Seddon said.

The bridal party boarded at Birchgrove and were surrounded by congratulatory passengers.

Transport for Wales (TfW) staff - or as the groom dubbed them, "Transport for Veils" - were also on hand to celebrate.

"The bridal party had the best time - and it got me to the ceremony right on time," Seddon added.

Marie Daly, from TfW, congratulated the couple and said the team was "delighted" to have played a part in their journey.

"We're really pleased Bethan and Chris chose to make the South Wales Metro part of their wedding day," she added.
