Staff at a wedding venue in Gower have been praised for coming to the rescue of a bride and groom who were set to get married at a neighbouring venue which caught on fire this morning. Fire crews were called to Ocean View Windmill Farm, a wedding venue in Llanridian, at 5.37am on Friday and soon requested members of the public to avoid the area and keep their doors and windows closed.
As fire-crews battled the blaze, the venue was evacuated - and a couple due to get married at the venue this morning were told their wedding could no longer take place. Incredibly, staff at nearby wedding venue Oldwalls Gower soon offered to host the couple's big day - and arranged for the same registrars, meal and all 93 guests to be able to attend.

The loved-up couple tied the knot at 11am on Friday and the groom and the wedding party have praised staff for "saving the day". For more stories from Gower, visit this page of our website.
