Newlyweds, Amy Ewing and Alex Simmons have secured a spot in the Guinness Book Of records by having 130 bridesmaids and 100 ushers at their big day.
The wedding took place on Sunday, February 22, 2015 at Rudding Park in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK.
Record for the wedding with the most bridesmaids was previously set in November 2013 in Sri Lanka by Champika Shirani Siriwardana, with 126 while that of the most ushers at a wedding was 47 and it was set by Arulanantham Suresh Joachim in September 2003 in Canada.

They saw a competition on Facebook run by bridal shop owner, who was looking to pull off a record-breaking wedding and wanted a couple to take part.

To make this a success, Amy invited all her girlfriends across the globe. Her husband informed his rugby player friends. All the items used at the wedding was donated by local companies – including 130 identical bridesmaid dresses worth £35,000 and suits worth £13,000

This momentous feat was achieved when Akwa Ibom people drawn from all the nooks and crannies of the state came together in the spirit of love and brotherhood. I believe that if we imbibe the virtue of love and stand together in brotherhood in the New Year, we would keep setting records and the walls of division, which have been erected by some selfish politicians, would tumble down.”‎ Governor Godswill Akpabio‎ announced.
