Couple's wedding off with two week's notice as hotel is to house asylum seekers

A couple were told their wedding was cancelled just two weeks before the event as their venue was being turned over to house asylum seekers. Dean Turner, 40, and Charlotte Townend, 37, were due to get married in a £7,000 wedding at Hull Humber View Hotel.

Dad-of-four Dean said they'd put down a deposit and booked 28 rooms at the venue back in January, following 21 years together in a long-term relationship.

And they’d both “worked overtime” and missed holidays to pay for dresses, a photographer and room decorations, so they could have the “best day” of their lives. But Dean was left stunned when his planner told him on Thursday that their wedding was now off - and then had to break the news to a tearful Charlotte.
