NEWLYWEDS who tied the knot at Walton Hall abandoned a traditional gift list and opted for donations of dog and cat food.
Rod and Heather Scotney, from Higher Walton, have two dogs and wanted to share their special day with those animals currently living in a shelter.
Rod said: "When planning our wedding, Heather and I decided to ask our wedding guests to provide dog or cat food so we could donate it to charities rather than asking for gifts for ourselves.
"Heather and I both love animals and especially dogs. I've had dogs from rescue centres before including our current dogs.
"Cheshire Dogs Home do a fantastic job of caring and rehoming dogs so we provided them with the dog food. The cat food was donated to S.A.F.E Cats."
The happy couple are now planning on adopting two spaniel crosses from the dogs home when they return from their honeymoon.
