"As soon as I put my dress on, my makeup was just falling off my face."

Aimie Seale is one of hundreds of brides whose weddings landed in the middle of a heatwave this summer.

She had chosen a July weekend in the hope of avoiding any wet weather. Instead, she faced 30C heat with her ceremony in a sweltering West Yorkshire church, predominantly made of glass.

"It was just unbearably hot," says Aimie. "I remember looking at my husband at one point, and he was just dripping with sweat, so everybody kept passing him tissues halfway through the service."
