The sound of scooters led a very happy bride to a 1960s-themed wedding in Norwich this weekend.

Members of Norwich Mods Scotter Club united to accompany the bridal carriage, a vintage Volkswagen Beetle, from the happy couple's home in Horsham St Faith to Churchman House registry office on Bethel Street in Norwich.

There Malcolm Rose waited for his bride-to-be Michelle Green, as they tied the knot after a whirlwind nine-month romance.

Malcolm, 53, has two children and Michelle, 44, has three. They met at a monthly soul music night in The Top of the Terrace lounge at Carrow Road and romance blossomed from there.

Mr Rose said: 'It's all happened really quickly. We've both been married before but, as Michelle says, you just know when it's right.

'So it's been a bit of a whirlwind romance but we didn't want a big wedding, we just wanted the 60s mod theme.

'I've always been a mod but I guess Michelle has become a bit of a modette now!'

Mods culture is enjoying something of a revival in Norwich at the moment.

Last month more than 50 members of the Norwich Mods Scooter Club attended a screening of cult film Quadrophenia at Cinema City, followed by a Northern Soul after-party.

The classic British 1979 mod film - named after an album by The Who - follows the life of Jimmy Cooper, played by future Eastenders actor Phil Daniels, who is disillusioned with his parents and job and joins a group of mods.

Norwich Fashion Week also saw a mods revival in September, alongside the re-emergence of 1960s fashion in general.

Gini Dorling-Winterbourne, 45, from Rackheath, recently launched a stall at the back of Norwich Market which sells Mod fashion and paraphernalia including badges, cuffs and novelties.

She was one of the witnesses at the wedding and added: 'I've known them both since they joined the scooter club and they are just a lovely couple, really warm and friendly.

'Everything was done so it was a proper mod wedding. It's the first wedding that we've had, but we've got another one next year as well now!'
