RADIANT fairytale bride Kelly Hudson beamed with joy as guests caught their first glimpse of her stunning wedding dress.

Arriving in a 1933 Vintage Rolls Royce, she waved and smiled as cameras flashed and onlookers cheered.

"I feel fantastic!" she cried out, crystals and pearls on her ivory satin gown glittering in the autumn sunshine.

She was just minutes away from marrying her fiance Matt Dudley, 27, in style - after winning our World and Lawson House Hotel £6,685 dream wedding.

Groomsman Matt, 27, was anxiously waiting inside with his brother and best man, Jonathan, 8 groomsmen, friends and relatives.

Their four-year-old son, Josh, in a miniature top hat and tails, escorted Kelly's sister and bridesmaid, Helen, 20.

The couple, from Windmill Hill, Runcorn, were chosen from 250 hopefuls, to scoop a luxurious prize, which included a sumptuous wedding breakfast and buffet, clothes for the bridal party, flowers, photographs, hair and beauty for the bride, her mum and bridesmaid, chauffeur driven Rolls Royce and Daimler, stationery and a cake.

A piper led the bridal party into Lawson House for a civic ceremony, conducted by Halton Council's superintendent registrar Sandra Jones.

Matt said afterwards: "I had to hold back tears when I saw Kelly come in, she was so beautiful."

Matt's mum, Sandra, gave a reading that included: "Love is a fortune that can never be spent."

Kelly's brother, BJ, read a moving verse after the marriage vows were exchanged.

Rapturous applause and cheers greeted Kelly and Matt as they were declared man and wife.

Kelly said afterwards: "Everything's been absolutely fantastic - even the sunshine came out for me.

"I can't believe that just eight months ago we won this in a competition and now we're Mr and Mrs Dudley.

"It is the fairytale come true today. I couldn't have wished for a better wedding. It was wonderful."
