Behind them is a large group of women, including young girls in the front row, wearing a mixture of champagne, cream, white and tan dresses. The crowd, including the bride and the two bridesmaid, are standing in the middle of a large garden, with tall trees and a leafy tunnel to the left.Mark Johnston

There are traditional weddings and then there are people who like to add their own twist to their big day.

Jack McGowan, originally from Aberdeen in Scotland, and his wife Kathryn from Hillsborough, Northern Ireland, decided two or three bridesmaids would not meet the mark for the special occasion.

The newly-wed couple who tied the knot last week with 95 bridesmaids said it was "an absolutely unforgettable day".

The average number of bridesmaids for a wedding in the UK is about three to five.

Ms McGowan said as soon as the couple got engaged they were debating how many bridesmaids was too many.

"I was thinking and thinking about how it was going to work and I thought in my head, what's the biggest number of bridesmaids I could have":[]}
