Potato queen Poppy O'Toole finally ties knot after mortifying wedding blunder
The ITV This Morning and self-styled 'Potato Queen' star shared how she organised her wedding to partner of 15 years Tom Shattock in just four week.
The 32-year-old admitted it was an "unconventional" day, as they failed to give at least 29 days' notice before the ceremony.

Failing to give the required notice of marriage can prevent a wedding from taking place on the intended date.
If couples fail to give 29 days notice, the ceremony may need to be rescheduled, and additional fees may be incurred for rebooking.
In the end, the couple took care of all the "official stuff" in Redditch, not forgetting to take a series of snaps outside the registry office.
Despite it not being a traditional day, it didn't dampen Poppy's spirits, as she took to Instagram to share in the joyous news.

"Unconventionally we had our 'wedding' two weeks ago where we wrote our own vows and had our friend lead the ceremony (she did amazing) so although it wasn't 'official', it was the best day of my life!!
"So this morning we did all the official stuff at the registry office (shout out Redditch xx) with just our parents. We didn't have a photographer so Tom decided to do a little photoshoot of me in the waiting room on his iPhone. Very glam. Very high fashion.
"Then our Moms signed the papers as witnesses and it was all very lovely.
"Moral of the story: it doesn't matter where you are in the world, if you're with the people you love and having a laugh, you're very very lucky.
"I had South of France on my mood board but Redditch will do xx"
