Couple who met on bus take double decker to wedding


Uloma Igwe and Gabriel Enyi met aboard the number 88 bus in Northamptonshire

A couple who met on a bus less than a year ago have got married after riding a red double decker to their wedding ceremony.

Gabriel and Uloma Enyi, both 32, met last summer while riding the number 88 service from Northampton Bus Station to Silverstone. The pair tied the knot on Saturday in a ceremony at Northampton Cathedral.

After the ceremony, Uloma said the couple felt like "mini celebrities" since their love story went viral in February. "Finding my husband in the bus is not even something I thought of," she said. "Anyone looking for love, be open. You just never can tell where you can find your love."

Gabriel added: "Having the bus on this occasion is a wonderful experience that I'm so happy about... It shows where the love all started.

BBC Radio Northampton presenter Justin Dealey arranged for a restored 1963 Routemaster to take them to the venue and then onwards to their wedding reception.

It was driven by owner Paul Sainthouse, a Milton Keynes based collector who said he only allowed his buses to be used by charity or good causes.
