A couple have taken their love of Games Of Thrones to romantic heights by tying the knot as characters from the hit show.

Simon, 26, and Sam, 33, from Alsager, dressed up as Dragon Queen Daenerys and warlord Drogo when they tied the knot in Gretna Green in November last year.

After having a registry office ceremony to officially become man and wife, the couple then had their very own Game of Thrones themed service, which took place after dark around a bonfire.

The couple, dressed in character, then made their own vows with references to the fantasy world created by author George RR Martin.

The couple were expecting their first baby when they tied the knot. They had met 18 months before when Simon saw Sam in character and said it was 'love at first sight'

'You are my stallion, you have given me the wind,' Sam vowed to Simon, while he told her: 'You are my Dragon Queen.'

The couple were expecting their first baby then they tied the knot and have since welcomed a son, Mathieu.

They made their own costumes, had a hog roast reception and decorated the room with dragons.

They said all the Game of Thrones references were an important part of their big day.

'We are putting it into the ceremony, the dragons and eggs etc, as it is important as it shows that side to us,' Sam explained as their nuptials were captured on new Channel 4 daytime show Wedding Town.

They then had another ceremony by a bonfire where they made Game of Thrones themed vows including Simon telling Sam: 'You are my Dragon Queen'

The show shares the stories of couples who have decided to marry in the Scottish village of Gretna Green, which has become synonymous with weddings after it became the destination of choice for eloping English couples from 1754 to 1977.

During that time, young couples in England couldn't marry without their parents' consent if they were aged under 21.

Simon, a willow weaver and wood carver, and Sam, a stay-at-home mother, said the Scottish village was the ideal wedding venue for them after they decided to tie the knot 18 months after they met at a comic convention.

'We are going to Gretna Green as there seems to be big theatrical side of things there,' Sam said.

They met when Sam was dressed up as Daenerys, who is played by Emilia Clarke in the HBO show, and so they wanted to celebrate their shared love of 'cosplay' on their wedding day.

Simon recalled: 'When I first saw Sam she was wearing her Daenerys cosplay, it was love at first sight.'

Sam continued: 'He passed me a note saying "If you come as Daenerys to the next convention, I will be your Drogo".'

They were engaged six months later and began planning their Game of Thrones wedding, where Simon arrived on horseback and even the minister who married them was in costume wearing a tabard and fake sword.

Sam said the second ceremony where they made their own vows was 'a very special part for us' and they were relieved their big day went as they had hoped.

Addressing the fact it wasn't a traditional ceremony, Simon said: 'It was everything that we wanted and that is all that counts.'
