As a fellow Coventrian, it gives me great pride to present another great specimen of Coventry talent. I am almost as proud as I'm sure the parents were. It's almost enough to bring a tear to my Jap's eye.
By tradition the bride should be blushing, but it was the marriage officials who were red in the face at the sight of Sam Taylor’s outfit.
Her tutu dress had less material than a decent veil and the sexy basque was more boudoir than bridal.
But for the fun-loving 24-year-old it was just the saucy porn princess-look she wanted.
The Willenhall glamour model wed sweetheart Rich Sharratt at Coventry Register Office on Friday.
The extrovert Coventry girl certainly stamped her personality on the occasion and has the honour of starring in the Register Office’s first porn star themed wedding.
Sam and Rich admit that not everyone was quite as enamoured with their outrageous event as them.
“The registrar looked me up and down,” Sam said. “And Rich kept telling jokes to try and make me less nervous too, so we didn’t think she was terribly impressed.
“All our mates were being loud too – she must have thought she’d never seen anything like it in her life.
“We just wanted to do something different, we like being different.
“If you go to any wedding most of them are the same. The bride is always wearing a long dress. I never wanted to do anything like that.
“I don’t want to be compared to anyone else. If we go down town and someone has a short skirt on I’ll be in hotpants.
“Quite a few people said we’d never go through with it, but we showed them.”
Sam’s outfit cost just £23 from eBay and Rich, also 24, who has just completed his gym instructor’s qualifications, was delighted.
“When we were celebrating afterwards I couldn’t help looking at everyone else staring at Sam,” he said.
“It might make some guys jealous, but I just felt proud. She looked beautiful, and she’s got the body to pull it off.
“I think a lot of girls would like to do something like this, but they haven’t got the bottle. You could never accuse my new wife of being like that though.
“It’s her personality, she loves to stand out, and she’s entitled to on her wedding day.”
The couple, who have been together six months, are planning to renew the vows in a church ceremony next year.
