Lauren had come up with the “hilarious” concept, but initially had reservations about whether it would be a “bad idea.”

However, after a little encouragement, she committed to the idea and selected a large, inflatable orange for the occasion.
Of course there was only song suitable to accompany her unusual bridal outfit, and Lauren strode down to the
Clutching her dad’s arm, she emerged at the bottom of the aisle leaving her guests laughing.
Thankfully the groom also saw the funny side of the dinosaur ensemble and was filmed in fits of laughter as his bride reached him.
Her photographer Nicole Wilcox shared some of the backstory to the creative choice, and said: “POV: your bride wanted to surprise her guests and husband by walking down the aisle in a dinosaur outfit!
“When Lauren first enquired she asked me ‘I’m thinking of surprising everyone by walking down the aisle in an inflatable dinosaur costume.
“‘I think it will be hilarious (please tell me if this is a bad idea)’.
“I immediately replied let’s do it!!!
“And my god…how everyone laughed! It was definitely a wedding that everyone will remember!”
Many people were quick to comment on the clip, which has racked up over 480,000 views on her @nicolewilcox1997 account.
One person wrote: “I’ve worked at for 20 years and this is the single funniest thing I have ever seen.”
Another added: “Not the fact the wedding theme matched the dino.”

5 ways to save £10k on your wedding
Josie Griffiths, Deputy Digital Fabulous editor and bride-to-be shares her tips to cut the cost on your big day.
said: “There’s no getting around it, weddings are expensive, but there’s some easy ways to strip back the cost without your guests noticing.”
Ditch pricey invites
We made our designs for free on Canva, and then sent them out on email or WhatsApp. If you want to post invites to important people, VistaPrint is brilliant and cost us less than 30p per guest to sort. SAVING: £600
Cut back on flowers
I was pretty stunned that lots of wedding florists quote £3k-£5k as a MINIMUM spend. Your wedding flowers will be dead within days, save your cash and invest it in pics and video instead, as these actually last. Keep shopping round until you find someone reasonably priced, or speak to your local florist two months out to arrange bouquets. SAVING: £4.5k
Ditch wedding favours
They don’t fit in people’s handbags and were cleared away by catering staff at half the weddings I’ve been to as a guest. The best way to save cash here is just not to bother. SAVING: £300-£700
Be ruthless with your guest list
No one’s ‘entitled’ to a plus one and the groom’s second cousin doesn’t need to come. Your true friends won’t kick off and if anyone chooses not to come over guest list dramas, that just means you’ve saved twice. SAVING: £150 PER HEAD
Do your own booze
Make finding a venue where you can do your own bar a priority, ideally with no corkage or a £500 max cost. Aldi’s £22 Champagne beat Veuve Clicquot in a Which? blind taste test and they have tasty wines for less than a fiver, you won’t do better on a paid bar. SAVING: £2k
