COUPLE TIE THE KNOT IN SPECTACULAR £45K HARRY POTTER WEDDING

A couple have tied the knot in a spectacular Harry Potter-themed wedding which cost £45,000. Stephanie Dodd, 26, and Samuel Goetsch, 25, of Houston, Texas spent a year and half planning their dream wedding which took place on March 25th this year. The wedding venue, Bell Tower on 34th in Houston, was transformed into the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter, complete with trees and lanterns. Stephanie walked down an aisle made from pages from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels and guests arrived to the sound of John Williams' Hedwig's Theme, which appeared throughout the film series.
