Their beautiful wedding was attended by half the population of Pelsall, who watched as the happy couple tied the knot.

Sue and Alex met on the TV dating show Blind Date hosted by Cilla Black, and although they are now living in London, they returned to the Black Country this weekend to St Michael and All Angels Church for a very romantic trip down memory lane.

The couple attended a wedding fair held at the church, and renewed their vows on Sunday, where Alex gave a heartwarming speech about his 'beautiful wife'.

The Express & Star was there for the special day – take a look through the photo gallery.
