Green bride and groom go by Tube

The couple are members of Brent Friends of the Earth

An environmentally-friendly couple in London have had a green wedding by travelling to their ceremony by Tube.

Stefanie Schmiedel, Robert Gray and their wedding guests went from Dollis Hill underground station in north-west London to Marylebone register office.

"We thought about going on our bikes but this was a compromise," he said.

Her dress was made from reusable material, her engagement ring was second-hand and the menus and order of service were printed on recycled paper.

To ensure the event was as environmentally-friendly as possible, catering at their reception used local produce and the wedding cake was organic.

We didn't feel that we needed a stretch limo to get to their register office when we have got an Oyster card and the Tube Robert Gray

The couple are members of Brent Friends of the Earth.

Ms Schmiedel said: "If in everyday life we try to be as environmentally friendly as we can, why should we change on our wedding day?"

Mr Gray added: "We didn't feel that we needed a stretch limo to get to their register office when we have got an Oyster card and the Tube."

Jubilee line general manager Penny Hazell said: "Public transport is a sustainable way to travel around the capital. We wish them all the best."
