Mother of two who married a tree celebrates their first wedding anniversary in England

A mum who married a tree has celebrated their first wedding anniversary.

Kate Elder, 38 — who took the name of its ­species — maintained it was “one of the best decisions I’ve ever made”.

She and two mates were at its side to toast the occasion with elderflower champagne.

Ex-teaching assistant Kate visits the tree at Rimrose Valley Country Park in Sefton, Merseyside,    several    times    a   week.

The bizarre wedding helped draw attention to a campaign to halt plans for a bypass through Rimrose Valley.

But Kate of Melling, who has a boyfriend and two kids, also said the wedding “made me feel a bit more confident”.

She added: “It’s given me a new purpose.”
