A PASTA-LOVING pair showed they had noodles of love — by tying the knot with a surprise macaroni cheese-themed wedding.

Bride Emma Mykytyn wore a macaroni necklace, earrings and hairclip for the big day, while groom Mark Murphy, 38, put on a special pair of pasta cufflinks. And Mr Macaroni — the mascot for Scottish pasta specialists Marshalls — was their best man.

The Glasgow couple were showered with macaroni confetti following the ceremony last Saturday. Then guests ate a ‘macaroni cheese cake’ — made from chocolate and jelly beans.

Emma and Mark, who have been together for 11 years and run the food blog Foodie Explorers, surprised friends and family by saying ‘I do’ at the Pastaval festival in the city — a celebration of all things mac and cheese, which they created four years ago.

The new bride, 44, said: ‘There were about 200 people — friends, family and just people who had wandered in.

‘There was a big cheer when we came round the corner to do the ceremony. Everyone had a good laugh about it and the people who knew us were hardly surprised because it was a bit off the wall — like us.’

The newlyweds plan to honeymoon in Wales where Emma will no doubt order her favourite dish. ‘It would be rude not to,’ she said.
