When it comes to their big day, most brides choose to arrive at church in a vintage white Rolls Royce.

But for Helaina Merrett, from Cross Roads, there was only one way to make a stylish entrance -- in a seven tonne truck!

The 19-year-old was chauffeur driven to Haworth Parish Church on Saturday in a huge bull nose Scania 164 T-cab, festooned with ribbons and balloons.

The giant rig -- which normally pulls rocks from local quarries -- drew cheers as driver Gordon Longthorne negotiated the steep, narrow cobbles on Main Street.

And waiting for Helaina down the aisle was fiance Paul Garnett.

Helaina said: "My friend Jennie drives for Longthorne's and I asked if I could be driven to church in the Scania.

"Everyone was a bit gob-smacked when I told them what I was doing, but when we arrived at the church they were quite impressed.

"It was interesting seeing people's reactions, and the whole of Main Street came to a standstill as we drove up.

"The truck looked really nice and Gordon had spent a lot of time cleaning it up just for the occasion."

The unusual limo was provided free of charge by Longthorne's of Hebden, which was the first company in the country to take delivery of the 580bhp truck -- one of the largest in Britain.

Romance blossomed for Paul and Helaina during their first brief encounter as volunteers on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

And after tying the knot, the happy couple and guests jumped onto their very own bridal train from Haworth Station and travelled to Keighley Station for a party.

"I just saw him one day on the railway and it all went from there," added Helaina. I've been a volunteer there for about five years and do bits and bobs on the station.

"Paul has been a volunteer for about 12 years and works on the diesel engines."

When they are not helping to keep the KWVR on the right track, Helaina works in an energy call centre in Cullingworth, while Paul is a lorry engineer in Queensbury.
