WEDDING: Lisa Devine and Clive Wedge at their pagan wedding.
A HAMPSHIRE couple stepped back in time to celebrate their marriage ceremony with a difference.
Lisa Devine and Clive Wedge, both 23, took their vows at a traditional pagan wedding in the middle of the New Forest.
The couple had earlier taken part in a ceremony in a register office in their home town of Andover.
But Lisa and Clive, a part-time archaeology student and history enthusiast, decided to seal their love in the ancient pagan custom.
Friends and family dressed in mediaeval garb gathered to watch a priest conduct the ancient marriage rite from a makeshift altar set up in woodland near Burley.
The pair plighted their troth according to the age-old customs of the Order of the Morning Star before celebrating their union by drinking red wine from a hunting horn.
