The couple share the same environmental values
Dozens of guests watched a Cornish couple tie the knot in what the bride and groom have described as a "completely green wedding."
Russell Geake, 30 and Alexia Muskett, 42, decided to get married after meeting each other at a series of climate change events.
The pair have been determined that their wedding would be as environmentally-friendly as possible.
The couples' outfits were second-hand and they exchanged wooden rings.
Carrier bags The average cost of getting married is thought to be about £17,000.
The couple claim they have saved thousands by doing most things themselves.
Plastic flowers were made by the bride's mother out of old carrier bags, while all the food at the reception has been sourced locally.
Many friends and relatives arrived by public transport and, where that was not possible, car-sharing was encouraged.
The ceremony took place in Porthpean Church and the wedding party had a five-minute walk to the reception.

But was the reception a barbeque on the beach of fish caught by the guests?
