Cassie and Lewis Byrom are dedicated Potterheads. So, when the time came to tie the knot, the two knew they had to do something magical. The details are truly mind blowing... From paper bouquets made from 20 sliced up Harry Potter novels, to the rings that were both inscribed with an 'always' in homage to Severus Snape.

Dressed in her wedding gown, celebrating with family, a call of distress pulls a heroic bride into action.
A 25-year-old newly married woman was taking her wedding photos on a beach when a drowning man was pulled from the ocean.
About 100 feet away, Guo Yuanyuan, who was a cardiac nurse at a local hospital, happened to be shooting her wedding photographs on the same beach.
Without thinking, she jumped off a three foot ledge and rushed to the scene while still wearing her wedding gown.
She then proceeded to perform CPR on the man as well as giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation for over 20 minutes.
In the process of saving the man, Guo had ruined her wedding dress, spoilt her make-up and broke her nails.
Very sadly, she was not able to save the man's life.
When paramedics arrived on the scene, they declared the man dead and said the cause was a heart attack.
The Daily Mail quotes Guo about the event:
"At that time, I only remember that I was a nurse. My career's responsibilities are higher than that of a bride."

Shelby Swink was supposed to marry her college sweetheart on Nov. 1. When he left her just five days before the wedding, the game plan -- and life as Swink knew it -- quickly changed.
Swink, 23, spent the next few days in shock, rushing to call guests and cancel services. But moping around was the last thing she wanted to do when Nov. 1 rolled around. When wedding photographer Elizabeth Hoard mentioned doing a "trash the dress" photo shoot with friends and family that day, Swink was game.
"I knew that a pity party was the farthest thing from what I wanted or needed," the Tennessee resident said.
