Here comes the...OES?

Julie Brammer had a wonderful wedding day, made all the more special by the fact that she was given away by her pet dog. Julie, a dog handler for Staffordshire Police, gave her old English sheepdog the honour of standing in for her late father on the big day.

And Thom, who wore his traditional collar with Dutch roses on, performed his nuptial duties to the letter as she married fellow cop, 28-year-old Paul Hargreaves at Heaton House Farm, near Macclesfield.
