A WHITE silk gown might seem like the perfect outfit for walking down the aisle, but 10 brides took to the aisles of a supermarket in their wedding dresses.

Shoppers at the North Swindon Asda store looked shocked as the brides helped them pack their shopping, on Friday.

There were no bridegrooms in sight, as the group raised money for the Prostate Cancer charity, but the hardworking brides were accompanied by a few pageboys and bridesmaids on their big day.

Mum-of-two Katrina Sharp, 24, who lives near Faringdon, organised the event and said she was excited to get the chance to wear her wedding dress for a second time.

"Most brides only get to wear their wedding dress once and this is only the second time I have worn my wedding dress, so it is good to have a chance to get a bit more wear out of it," she said.

Katrina's white sleeveless dress, covered in embroidery and crystals was flown over from Australia especially for her wedding to husband Alastair.

She said she hoped the whole day would help find a cure for the disease that claimed her grandfather Jim Harvey's life.

"My granddad died of it last year, so when we were thinking of a charity to do this for it was the only choice," she said.

"He was 72 and only had it for two years.

"It is terrible the way it ripped his life from him so we wanted to do something unusual to help out.

"We have raised over £400 in sponsorship and that's not including what people have donated down here at Asda and the raffle."

Katrina's sons Marshall, four, and two-year-old Phoenyx were helping entertain shoppers and drum up support for the charity dressed as pageboys in their satin waistcoats and bow ties.

Her brother Daryel Dennison, 21, of Trowbridge, even put on a wedding dress himself.

"Katrina roped me into it but I was pretty happy to come along for a good cause," he said.

"As I didn't have my own wedding dress my mum bought me this from a charity shop, so I guess I have done even more by helping charities twice."

Daryel, added a blonde wig, black lipstick and fishnet tights to his outfit, giving the bridal theme a more sinister twist.

"Some people have seemed a bit confused and there have been a lot of little kids staring at me," he said.

After the initial shock of seeing the wedding party in their supermarket shoppers were only too happy to add their support.

Clare Winston, 47, from Pinehurst, who only popped in to the shop for some milk said she thought the dresses were a great idea.

She said: "I didn't have much shopping, but I let them pack my bag anyway because they have put so much effort in and look amazing.

"I wish I had known before, I would have loved the chance to get my wedding dress out again but I'm not sure if I'd still be able to get into it."
