Music lovers' instore wedding

A couple who met at a 2003 Radiohead Glastonbury set married at the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street after winning a competition.

A couple who met during Radiohead's 2003 set at Glastonbury have married at the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street. Gary Means and Shara Hayes, who live in Hackney, won a competition to hold their wedding at the shop and be married by a 'rock vicar' dressed all in leather.

No great surprise, then, that Ms Hayes' parents weren't thrilled by the idea of the instore wedding and decided not to attend. The bride didn't seem too bothered, though, telling reporters: "At the end of the day, this is something you don't get to do very often and you've just got to go for it, whether they come or not."

Organisers claim that it was the first marriage-in-a-music-shop to take place in the UK.
