A thrifty couple organised their entire wedding for £3,000 using food that was destined for the bin and a second hand wedding graduation gowns from GumTree.

Kim Woolnough, 24, a community nurse from Durham, and her new hubby Dan, 22, a sales executive, even had their rings made from reused metal by an Etsy seller.

Kim said: ’Some of our guests thought it was a bit weird that we were having out-of-date food for the wedding breakfast but everyone said it was really tasty.

’We didn’t want to waste anything so we had to be quite creative.’

Kim and Dan met in 2014 when they were both on an internship in Durham, and quickly hit it off.

And just a year later in September 2015, Dan proposed to Kim at the top of a mountain in Keswick, the Lake District.

The couple decided to have a low cost wedding and use as much recycled and second hand materials as possible.

Their wedding invitations were made out of 100 per cent recycled paper, and the save-the-date invitations were emailed to save paper.

While most brides spend hours - and thousands of pounds - shopping for their dream wedding dress, Kim bought one from Gumtree for £80.

She said: ’It seemed like fate. I went to pick up the dress and instantly fell in love with it.

’I had a few alterations made so that it fit me, but the lady was so glad that the dress was going to be used again.’

The wedding breakfast was put together by a charity who source food from local supermarkets, bakeries and small businesses which would otherwise have gone in the bin.

The starter was a tomato and red pepper soup, followed by veg curry or pasta and a range of different desserts.

Any food that was leftover at the end was given to the guests to take home.

Kim said: ’The food was all past its shelf life but still perfectly fine to eat. In fact it was delicious!

’We didn’t want to waste a single thing, so everything had been recycled in some way.’

The couple even had furniture made for the wedding out of recycled bits of wood, which they gave back to the carpenters afterwards to use again.

She said: ’That was what made it so special, everyone chipped in and the band were some friends of ours.

’It was a lot more personal than other weddings I’ve been to where the couple have splurged loads of money.

’The team called ReFuse from the Real Junk Food Project were incredible and we’re thankful for their help. They’re an amazing organisation.’

Stunning: Megan Gale looked amazing as she walked around Milan on Monday

The stylish garment featured flowing sleeves, adding a casually chic edge to Megan’s look.

ShareShe paired the dress with strappy nude heels and a matching designer handbag.

Perhaps in a bid to avoid being recognized by her many Italian fans, Megan kept her face hidden behind a pair of stylish black sunglasses.

The model-turned-actress was set to star as Wonder Woman in George Miller’s Justice League movie, but was left disappointed when the film was scrapped.

Megan, who has a two-year-old son River with AFL player boyfriend Shaun Hampson, recently opened up about how she is not still hung up on losing the role of a lifetime.

’As long as my son thinks I’m Wonder Woman [I’m fine],’ she told Ninemsn. ’If that means I’m ’super-mum’, I’m fine.’

The hotly-anticipated film was set for a 2009 release, but it was shelved indefinitely following the Writers Guild strike and other production obstacles.

At the time, Miller promised Megan he would work with her on another movie and he stayed true to his word.

The Australian director penned the role of desert warrior Valkyrie in Mad Max: Fury Road solely for the 40-year-old model.

’It was unfortunate that it didn’t happen, but it was great because I got to meet George Miller and he then wanted to work with me again and he created a role for me in Mad Max: Fury Road,’ she said.
