    A Harrogate couple has received some good news from The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate who has offered to host their wedding after their original plans were ruined.

    Ali Farr and Ben Cross ,who both work for the NHS, had their wedding plans cancelled twice. Firstly due to lockdown and secondly because their chosen venue, St George Hotel on Ripon Road, went into administration.



    However, thanks to the help of Ali's grandma and bridesmaids, The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate has offered their venue for the couples wedding on December 31- the day they'd been due to marry at the St George.

    Bride- to- be, Ali Farr told The Stray Ferret that she is still apprehensive and hopes there isn't a second wave. She said:

    "It has all been quite overwhelming, if it happens on New Year's Eve it will be amazing, but I am trying not to get too excited just in case, but who knows what's going to happen."




    The Cedar Court Hotel in Harrogate also offered their venue up for the couples wedding. Guests travelling from as far as Australia and Singapore have been told about the new date.

    The couple, who have been working throughout the crisis, have still had no correspondence with St George Hotel except for the information given on their website.
