It's the only way you'll get Britain's first woman commando out of her green beret - marry her!

Britain's first female Commando has ditched her standard military greens for gleaming wedding dress white.

Major Pip Tattersall, 37, married Sergeant Stuart Delamere-Wright of the Royal Dragoon Guards in a private ceremony at Glen Tanar Chapel in Royal Deeside.

Officer Pip from Tarland, Aberdeenshire met her husband-to-be in November 2010, while competing at the annual Army Snowboarding Championship in Austria.

Love at first sight: Pip says she knew she was 'in trouble' the moment she laid eyes on Stuart

Major Tattersall, or Mrs Delamere-Wright as she will now be called, said she knew she was "in trouble" from the moment she first saw his eyes.

She said: 'I'm so excited about being married. I think like most brides I just feel I'm the luckiest girl to find someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with and who wants to put up with me - I'm probably fairly intimidating.

'I've got a lovely dress and the girly shoes - not quite the Katie Price meringue - it's very simple. And I have all the beauty treatments this week.'

Tough love: Pip is the first female to pass the nine-week course to win her green beret, a course which is regarded as one of the toughest in the world

Pip was the first female to pass the nine-week course to win her all arms commando green beret, a course which is regarded as one of the toughest in the world.

Despite two failed attempts, she persevered and overcame the physical challenges through sheer determination and drive to become the first woman to wear the coveted beret.

Now Pip, who is involved in training medics for deployment to Afghanistan, wants to start a family.

She is due to retire in 2013 after 16 years as a British officer and hopes to move back home to north east Scotland.

Pip said she would remember her time in the armed forces with "fond memories" but was looking forward to the "next chapter" of her life.

Her military career has taken her all over the world and even to a meeting with the Queen in 2003.

Too much? Major Tattersall worried that her husband might find her intimidating

On June 12, she will carry the Olympic torch between Aberdeen and Dundee, having been nominated by her friends and family.

She said: 'I see it as a great opportunity for positive publicity for females in the Army and what people can achieve.'

Pip and her new husband tied the knot last Friday and had their reception in Kincardine House at Kincardine O'Neil.
