A grandmother has thrown the lavish wedding she always wanted just for herself after a lifetime of heartache which saw her first marriage fell apart.
It was a dream come true for 77-year-old Dorothy 'Dottie' Fideli as she married herself in a stunning ceremony at her retirement home.
Dottie, who donned a beautiful white wedding dress and veil and held a bouquet of silk roses, explained that the unusual wedding was something she had always wanted to do, and saw it as a second chance to do something that would make her happy.
