Two paramedics tied the knot recently with an unusual backdrop for their marriage ceremony.
Wayne Marshall, 37, of Castle Douglas Station, and his new bride, Sarah Marshall, of Newton Stewart Station, wed at the Creebridge House Hotel with an ambulance behind them.
The couple both work for the Scottish Ambulance Service in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.

Said Wayne Marshall of the couple’s experience, “It was a fantastic day and great to spend it with friends, family, co-workers, both past and present,” as news outlet SWNS reported.
He said that “the whole day was amazing.”

For one thing, the couple “managed to trick our guests into thinking we had lost the rings, only for one of them to find them under her chair,” he said.
Wayne Marshall has been with the health care service for over eight years — five as a technician, three as a paramedic, the same source reported.

“Thankfully, an off-duty colleague was happy to oblige to bring a non-operational vehicle up for the occasion,” said Marshall.
“We each have a deep understanding of the job and [its] challenges.”
The pair became friends quickly once they met on the job.
