Ennis wore a V-necked, sleeveless ivory silk gown with a ruffled tulle skirt and a full-length veil and carried a small posy of cream and pale pink roses.

Mr Hill, a construction site manager, wore a dark grey morning suit with a pink tie and handkerchief.

Ennis is due to begin competing again on June 8 at Edinburgh’s Meadowbank Stadium.
