A couple who had a Monty Python-themed wedding brought props including a bloodied 'killer rabbit' so they could recreate scenes from the Holy Grail on location in Scotland for their honeymoon. John Wood, 62, and wife Gemma, 38, fell in love after her uncle spotted a story in The Sun about a Monty Python-themed dating site that John set up after getting divorced.
Gemma got in touch and the couple hit it off. They wed on October 5 2019 with the day themed around Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with props including a china white rabbit which they painted with blood.
Gemma, who works as a social media manager, made a hand grenade which was used by ringbearers, and which they also brought to Scotland for their honeymoon. They visited Doune Castle, Stirling, where much of the cult classic was filmed, and were delighted to find there were real swallows there.
