A Medway bride is hoping community spirit will get her to the church on time this weekend.

Laura Fillery and Jesse Blackford are due to be married on Saturday at St Mary and All Saints Church in Boxley.

But the Beast from the East has frozen their plans along with the roads around the church and from Laura's parent's home, where the couple live, on Sheridan Close in Walderslade.

The bride said: “It’s the most beautiful church I know and for years have dreamt about getting married there.

“At first the church said there was a possibility that it would be cancelled but the wonderful clergy have said the wedding can go ahead.

“My dilemma is the road from Penenden Heath to the church won’t be cleared and neither will Sheridan Close where I live.

“We’ve had to change the wedding car from a classic 1935 Studebaker to a 4x4 but my bridal party have no means of transport.”

Laura is asking people to help shovel snow and offer their 4x4s to help get her bridesmaids to the wedding and then the reception at Bridgewood Manor Hotel.

The 24-year-old said: “I’m trying not to think about what will happen if the roads don’t clear up.

“I’ll need to walk down to the main road in my dress through the snow and it’s just not ideal.

“If the local people in these areas could help in any way it would mean the world to us. We are willing to pay fuel costs.

“We have family travelling from East Sussex, Essex, London, Canterbury and Hampshire and pray they can get there.”

The couple met through Tinder in January 2016 and 25-year-old Jesse, who works for the ambulance service, moved here in March that year.

He proposed in November 2016 and the couple have been planning their wedding ever since.
