The running of the brides

With peak British wedding season approaching, the race down the aisle has started early for some couples.

Earlier today 40 brides and grooms, in full wedding attire, were spotted dashing through London ahead of first ever ‘Pimm’s Spritz Wedding Dash’ competition, all hoping to win their dream wedding bash.

The to-be-weds traversed Westminster Bridge and past Westminster Abbey, before crossing the finishing line at Battersea Park.

The event included 1km obstacle course, during which the couples faced fun, physical manifestations of matrimonial challenges including hurling bouquets, a ‘balloon slalom’ and a torrential downpour (delivered by powerful sprinklers) before carrying their partner over the finishing line – all in pursuit of an £8,000 prize.
