Warwick couple win race course wedding dash

AFTER an engagement that’s lasted for the past 14 years, there was nothing slow about the race to the finishing post by Emily Fulford and Paul Lawrence who took part in last Saturday’s Love Warwick Wedding Dash.

Altogether 15 couples put their names down for the chance to win a £7,500 wedding, courtesy of Warwick Racecourse. But on the day there were 11 non-runners for the light-hearted dressing-up and fireman’s lift style dash.

Emily and Paul, who have three children and live in the town, led the rest of the field for most of the race. They have already set the date for their wedding as August 9.
