Bride 'feels truly beautiful for first time' walking down aisle in £34 wedding dress

A bride put off by the "ridiculous" cost of wedding dresses managed to bag a gown on eBay - for just £34. Katy Thomson, 36, started browsing online after being shocked by the eye-watering prices for brand-new frocks.

The call centre worker looked at dresses ranging from £600 all the way up to £4,000 - which was much more than she was willing to part with. Katy, from Stoke-on-Trent, then started looking on the auction site eBay, where she found a beautiful ivory princess dress for less than £40.

And, after tying the knot with groom Karl Thomson, 36, on October 15, she says she has no regrets. Katy was so pleased with her find that she went on to buy her shoes, a small coat and even dresses for her bridesmaids from eBay as well.
