A couple who hoped their big day could be salvaged after a huge fire tore through their dream wedding venue have been dealt another devastating blow.
The bride-to-be, who wished to remain anonymous, was due to marry her best friend at Thornton Manor Hotel in August this year.
With friends and family booking flights from overseas, the couple had their sights set on tying the knot after getting engaged back in 2018 at the "dream location" in Wirral.
