A DISNEY-mad couple have found fame after celebrating their big day by taking part in the wedding craze, marryoke.
Caroline and Andy Coates made their ceremony extra special by singing and dancing down the aisle when they made their own 'marryoke' video at Waterton Park Hotel in Wakefield.

Guests were filmed recreating scenes from Disney's Enchanted musical movie and mimed to one of its hits, That's How You Know.
Primary teacher Caroline, 26, said: "I first saw a marryoke on Wedding TV and I loved the idea so I thought why not go for it.

"Me and my husband are both Disney mad. He was totally up for it. When we told people what were planning on doing they had no idea what to expect but they loved it, and everyone really made an effort despite it pouring down with rain the minute we arrived."

Caroline confessed that electrician Andy is even a bigger Disney fan than her and he even regularly checks the company's website for the latest news.

Thousands of people have viewed the video on website YouTube and the Thornhill couple have been on national television, radio and in newspapers.

Caroline and Andy, 32, have been together for seven years. They tied the knot last July but it is only in the last week that the couple have had their taste of fame.

Caroline said: "It's been mad all the attention. Me and Andy are both quite shy to be honest but now we feel a bit like celebrities.
"It took about three hours to film but we had lots of breaks in between. A lot of reports about it have said that we had to cut the speeches but we didn't, we had everything the way we wanted."
The film was recorded by TV director Jennifer Page who runs 4 Life Films who said guests kept asking her if they could be in the film and were really enthusiastic, despite the weather.

She added: "I couldn't sleep the night before, I was probably as excited about making the video as they were about getting married!"
