Actor Sean James Stephen Pritchett has a new real-life role - as a husband!

He was married at Our Lady of Victories Church in Keighley to Rachel Maria Ford, a secretary in London and a former member of local youth theatre group HYT.

Sean - who is also a rugby player - is the only son of Jim and Christine Pritchett, of the USA.

Rachel is the only daughter of Michael and Barbara Ford, of Lime Close, Keighley.

The bride wore her own design of a white dupion silk fitted dress with an embroidered shrug and train, and carried a sheaf of white lilies.

Bridesmaids were Sarah and Elizabeth Whitley, Katherine Andrews and Ruth Crossman (bride's cousins), and Beth Milner, Holly Pullinger and Elizabeth Richard.

The younger bridesmaids wore green dresses with two-tone trains, and the older bridesmaids wore red bustle skirts and white shirts. They carried white tulips.

The bridesmaids' outfits were designed by the bride.

Best man was Paul Martin and groomsmen were Matthew Crossman and David Andrews (bride's cousins), with Courtney and Stephanie Pritchett (bridegroom's sisters).
